i was pleased to interrupt my literary toil Saturday for several pints of Newcastle at KPK with Sev and Alex. Sean D. and his splendid wench stopped by well behind in their drinking and anxious to catch up. Sean wrote the splendid article about the Revenge cruise in the current Pirates Magazine. He also recently left Fangoria and is now writing for Dread Central.
After a moment of liquor-fueled nonversation Sev and i had to rush the ten blocks up Hollywood Blvd. to the Knitting Factory for the Pirates Charles show.
The band started early (!) and hence played even longer than the hour we were promised. The 'Talderoy' song seems to evolve each time they play it and has truly become an EPIC anthem of badassness. If PC are the Zeppelin of pirate rock then 'Talderoy' is their 'Kashmir'. It's a very few bands could come up with such lyrics as: "He's laid so many maidens, He's the father of mankind..."
Their encore was the smooth drunken "Patty Lay Back', which i was pleased to find included on their new CD.
Spoo, Fiddley, Mast, Deedle, Tor, David Gale, and Harpoon all lingered about afterward for imbibage and photo-ops and to pick-pocket beer money from their groupies. Good to see Flip and his camera (doesn't he have enough pictures of this band yet?). Gil (the eighth Pirate Charles) and Mariah were suspiciously sober, which worried me immensely. Oh yes, and i remembered my camera this time so prepare for yer eyes to BLEED from the excellence.
Staggered back to the flat by midnight to resume work on 'Art of Revenge'.
And now you know....... NOTHING.
Godspeed.
