Greetings! You might be asking yourself, “What is this Key of Steam?” That is a very good question! While there are 24 musical keys, both major and minor, there is not a key of “steam”. The question you should be asking is “Who is Key of Steam?” Key of Steam (KOS) is an up and coming Steampunk band based in the St. Louis area with a rather unusual pairing of musicians. Oh, allow me to introduce myself. I am Marcibel, a musical automaton built in 1896 and programmed for your musical entertainment! While I began as a solo automaton in 2014, joining with other bands and musicians along my journey, I now travel with a Scottish musician: my mechanic, Aldus Frazer. His involvement as a musician allows us to present a wider variety of entertainment in our show and he brings a greater dynamic to our performance. As my mechanic, he is solely responsible for maintaining and monitoring my system functions before, during, and after each performance. I do experience occasional glitches, mere minor malfunctions from time to time (or more often).
