Hello Pirates?

About Me

Samantha used to be in musicals when she was small. She met Jason in 2003 and realised writing their own songs was much more fun.
Jason's dreams came true when he met Samantha. They wrote songs and did acoustic gigs together for quite some time.
After the two-some played in the Great Rock 'n' Roll swindle at Perth Concert Hall, they got a taste of how exciting the stuff would sound with a full band.
Since that September night they recruited the expert bass finger play of Chris Hollands. He is pretty much awesome.
Next came Tony. He never said much, looked pretty sad about everything (LIES!), but he played a mean guitar (TRUE!). When he spoke a year after joining (HE ACTUALLY SPOKE PLENTY, IT'S JUST THAT CERTAIN, DIVA LIKE, LEAD SINGERS DON'T LISTEN AND ENJOY INTERUPTING PEOPLE!), he used his first words to say how much he enjoys the bands' songs. (he likes metal) He even lends himself to playing the whole set in acoustic form. He loves it, but he won't show it.
After a period of half-hearted drummers, Jason came across the gem that is Emma Drum. That is her real name, and she does just that.
The whole band fits together quite snugly, and now they are gigging near YOU.
Dancing to their catchy beats is encouraged, if not expected.
