Die Piraten :
Es war einmal vor langer Zeit, dass fünf verwegene Piraten die Meere unsicher machten. Sie legten unter anderem bei der Kieler Woche an, um auf Beutezug zu gehen, plünderten den Lüneburger Stintmarkt sowie sämtliche Stadt- und Hafenfeste im Norden, raubten Inseln wie Amrum aus und präsentierten Ihre Beute bei Fernsehsendern wie dem NDR und dem ZDF. In einer ihrer Schlachten verloren sie drei Männer, aber Heike "Kabeljau" und "Kuddelmuddel" - Andre konnten sich rechtzeitig zurück an Gitarre und Schlagzeug auf ihr Shantyrock-Schiff retten. So suchten sie sich neue Mannen,die gemeinsam mit ihnen im Auftrag des Klabautermanns alte Seemannslieder verrockten, um die Schiffsgeister milde zu stimmen.
Schnell fanden sich Gleichgesinnte, fortan steht Gesangspirat "Seewolf Gary" am Steuerrad, um altes Liedgut neu verpackt in die Stürme hinaus zu singen. Zusammen mit "Redeye" Schnüffel am Bass und dem „Langen“ Hans am elektrischen Schifferklavier geht diese stimmgewaltige Besatzung weiterhin auf Kaperfahrt, um Jung und Alt mit ihrer Musik zu begeistern, immer hoffend, ebensoviel Rum an Bord wie Wasser unterm Kiel und Wind in den Segeln zu haben - natürlich immer auf der Jagd nach Beute...
Now the english – version :
We could tell you we're a band, from the ancient town of Lueneburg in Northern Germany.We could tell you we specialize in sea shanties. We could tell you that we've set ashore and captivated countless village and harbour fairs for nigh a decade with a rock-show presented in original costumes. This would not be a lie ... this would be the very truth, but there is so much more to tell...
Die Piraten (The Pirates)
Here is the story of The Pirates, so listen up:
Once upon a time, not long ago, five rakish pirates roamed the seven seas. Many harbours and villages fell prey to them, and it was no surprise that one fine day they seized the Kieler Woche. The treasure they found just whet their appetites. History records their phenomenal raid, which led them to the Lueneburger Stintmarkt and other village and harbour fairs of the North, where they swayed the hearts and souls of the people. They boast to have even pillaged islands like the Isle of Amrun.
Like all pirates the gang of five was eager to display their prizes, and thus they invaded TV stations like the NDR and ZDF to swagger about their loot. But pirate's life is not easy, and three crew members were lost in a gruesome battle. By a mere wink of Fortuna, Heike Kabeljau and Andre Kuddelmuddel were able to save themselves and make their way back to their ship, the "Shanty Rock", where they recovered from the fight, licking their wounds with wounding licks on guitar and drums.
The ship being much too big for just two, they searched the quayside bars for new crew members who would join them to rock the seas with new pirate versions of old sea shanties by order of Davy Jones to placate the ship ghosts. New, like-minded crew members were quickly recruited, and henceforth Gary Seewolf would navigate the ship through stormy seas, soothing the waters by singing old songs in a new manner. Redeye Schnüffel on bass and the Lange Hans at the electric squeezebox complete the strong crew. And thus the Shanty Rock sails again on the seas of music. Beware, ye land-lubbers! Beware the pirates on their raid to inspire young and old alike with their shouts, always sailing with as much rum aboard as water under the keel and wind in their sails - ...beware the Piraten on their quest for loot...
