"Pirate Love mixes a delightful refreshing blend of garage, punk, rockabilly and goth, in the veins of The Cramps, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Nirvana and The Stooges. ... a primal sound with references to hate, drugs, revenge and violence in a gorgeous package. Sincere sounding, and one can only surmise that the songwriters have had some serious misadventures along the way......"Black Vodoun Space Blues" is an excellent debut from a band that has chosen a path that hasn't already been trampled to pieces.

Norway's Pirate Love are back in the U.S. touring the East Coast supporting their new "Space Doubt"/"Sick Of You" 7-inch, so if you didn't get to catch their fantastic showcase (Musebox on 3/19/10) you might still get a chance. Below are a bunch of photos from SXSW week including their first show at Treasure Island on 6th St. (3/18/10) and a fun portrait session we had by the pool. They are one of my favorite bands to shoot ever!

Of course, we stuck to the newest and best mix of singles, remixes, covers, but, this time around, we tried to pack in as many as possible. Please enjoy! We'll see you on Monday! NEW Singles: [...]

This year's NXNE festival was going to have to be more about quality than quantity. Here's the deal: I was out of town during the day which means that there is no way to catch any of the daytime shows. Also, since complete alertness was going to be required of me, I would also have to get to bed at a reasonable hour. Yes, this is the old man's version of the summer festival, but this only meant that being all random about my selections was not an option. I had to choose wisely within those specified boundaries.

Toronto - Coming off as latter day Primal Scream wannabes, Norway's Pirate Love played their blend of psychedelic punk rock to a decent crowd on Thursday. I guess they are promoting their album "Black Voudoun Space Blues". Personally they didn't do that much for me despite dressing up in costumes (or maybe ponchos and cowboy hates is typical garb for Norwegians). I found the lead singers voice to be too growly at times and he spent a lot of time with his back to the crowd. I do think he has the rock star attitude down, often looking [...]

The Musebox is giving away a free mp3 from Norwegian rockers Pirate Love : http://www.themusebox.net/feat ured_artist/pirate_love/11_lau ghing_gas.mp3 I think I prefer Silver 's more sinister vibe overall as far as new-ish Norsk rock goes, but these guys are pretty good too.

Norwegian garage rockers Pirate Love will be bringing their brand of "Black Vodoun Space Blues" to North America. There are five (plus 1 secret) shows currently lined up for the band. New York and Toronto residents should definitely be prepared for a treat. The band reportedly has an amazing stage show. While someone once boasted "If it's too loud, you're too old"...I'd advice bringing ear plugs if you plan to check this lot out! 06-18 Toronto, ON – NXNE The MuseBox showcase – El Mocambo at 9pm 06-20 Toronto, ON – Neutral at 2am [...]
