I wanna be a pirate!
Ahoy mateys! Bring back the days when live music was an experience that left you woozy, euphoric, and energized! With the souls of pirates and a wide musical range, Plunder & Lightning bridges a gap between dead-serious, driving rock and musical theatre. They deliver hooks that call upon the eldergods of indie, punk, and classic sea shanty, often seasoned by 50s rock, reggae, or whisky while romanticizing pirate life through rich storytelling and anthematic irreverence. No genre is sacred or off limits—corporate anarchy, cannibalism, accidental castration, or celebrity defecation. A 7-piece ensemble with electric/acoustic sets, Plunder & Lightning can light up any stage, festival, venue, bar or boat, from “PG-13” to “ARR!”.
From the full-length musical 'Plunder & Lightning: A Pirate's Life'.
