I’m in a band that I haven’t talked on my blog before. The name is “The Pirates” – which we decided to call our selves as some people disliked our original, unofficial, name “Pot Smokin Pirates”. Anyway we recorded an EP, at the moment it’s the untitled EP, last Saturday with Mark Clerkin. Keith Corbet and Mark mixed the tracks for us since then. And now it’s finally ready!

The Pirates are actually the first band that I ever joined. We went through various name changes since our formation three years ago, JesusMcGhee and the upstairs tomato tribute band, the eggsersizers, coke addix, farolite, pot smokin’ pirates…. I could go on! So basically I never ever want to change the name of the band again, it is now and will always be The Pirates. In fact I joined The Dominican Affair through being in this band! For a long time I have to admit that The Pirates were a joke, but this year in particular we have picked up and begun to get serious about it. Last year we ditched all of our originals except two, Mind Trix and Uthenasia, in order to have a fresh start. Usually we throw the things out but since then we have only written two songs, which are the two on the EP, “Cheesecake” (formerly “Boner on a Cheesecake”) and “Funk in My Toast”.

We have gone through various genres. Our older songs are all Punk Rock while our new ones on the EP are very funky. Well I should stop talking now! You can download the album or listen to it on our bebo page.
