Yo Ho, me Hearties... This is a tale of the adventures of a group of modern day Intercoastal Pirates. Not the marauding or pillaging kind, mind you, but a band of musical skaliwags that go from town to town along the Gulf Coast looking for fun and adventure. I came to be in the company of this motley crew when I was bewitched by the First Mate's serenading some years ago. He began to keep company with these Intercoastal Pirates some time after that, and before I knew it, he was a full-fledged Pirate himself. Not that I mind it... a little swashbuckling never hurt anyone! It will be my duty to chronicle their adventures, journeys to distant waters, and all the fun along the way.

Drunker than...


Cooter Brown! We've heard it for years. And if anyone is sampling the rum or grog, we want to know where it may be happening. Figuring to find an answer to the query of just how drunk Cooter Brown might be, the Pirates were off to Brazoria for a first hand look at Cooter Brown's Country Club!

Well, Cooter was well behaved, and he has quite a nice club, to boot! A wide open dance floor, lots of fun loving patrons, a very capable wait staff, and the one thing bound to impress any of the many female fans... clean restrooms! Now, if you've been a'pillaging for very long, you know just how rare that can be. Hats off to the crew at Cooter's. We hope to visit you again real soon.

Having answered the age old question of Cooter Brown's sobriety level, we move on to other waters and places in need of a good pirating. We will be pointing the ship up-river to Dido's this Saturday. Always a great place to play, it will be all the better this time with the cooler temperatures outside. We're looking forward to it, and strongly suggest you reserve a table if you're planning on bringing a group. Good food, good friends, a beautiful location... come and make a few memories with the band!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!! The band has been selling a special sort of raffle ticket. The winner of the drawing will get the Intercoastal Pirates, playing at their event! That's right, we raffled US! Why would we do such a thing? It is our part in the fight against breast cancer. The band has been personally touched by the impacts of breast cancer, and are committed to do our part in supporting research for treatment and a cure! We send a very sincere thank you out to all who have purchased tickets for this event, you are doing more good than you know. All proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to fund breast cancer treatment research. The drawing will be at Dido's, so come out and see who the lucky pillagee-to-be shall be!

The following week will find us even further inland, at the Armadillo Ballroom in Brazoria. For those who may not know, The 'Dillo is a southeast Texas institution. Many bands and artists of renown have played there and it has been a musical center for live acts most of our lives so we are looking forward to visiting their shores. Making it all the more special is that it is a sort of reunion of Columbia school students... no specific year, it it's your Alma Mater then you are who they're looking for!

Many more ports to be visited through the year, and we are already booking into 2011. We hope to see you soon!
