Abney Park

Abney Park is een steampunk band uit Seattle. De naam van de band komt van Abney Park Cemetery in Londen. De naam van een begraafplaats dus. Waarom heeft de band voor die naam gekozen.

Antwoord van de band zelf: "We go every time we visit London. It’s a very beautiful place, just swimming in vines and decapitated angels. The park was originally built during a time when the Catholic Church controlled all the cemeteries in London, and things were getting crowded. Eventually, all the Catholic Church cemeteries were full, and so the Church passed a mandate that only Catholics could be buried in their cemeteries. Abney Park was built for everybody else."
