St. Patrick's Day/CD Release Party

St. Patrick`s Day Itches in Me Britches

The Bilge Pumps (minus the eternally lost Squint the Lookout) fire off a rousing rendition of "Itches in Me Britches"!

St. Patrick`s Day

You can tell it's St. Patrick's Day because Phil is wearing his all green outfit. Well, almost. His combat boots are still black. Squeegy is just trying to remember the words, while Crack wears women's coats.

St. Patrick`s Day - Maroon, Phil and the imaginary woman

Looks like Maroon and Phil are eyeballing the same good looking gal in the corner. Kailyn closed his one good eye, though, so he missed her.

St. Patrick`s Day - where`s Squint?

Hmmm.... interesting. Does it look like Maroon's the only one singing here? At least he's not knocking over the microphone. And where's Squint? He must still be lost, trying to find the pub.





April Hailstorms... er... Showers Show

Squint does his best Elvis

Squint does his best Elvis impersonation during our screwed up version of "Barrett's Privateers".

The Bilge Pumps bust a move

It's pirate rap at its finest as The Bilge Pumps bust a move during "Shiver My Timbers".

the tall pirates

In the center of the stage is where all the tall pirates go.

Maroon points out the culprit

Maroon points out exactly who keeps screwing up the rhythm to our songs.... Squint!

Kailyn Dammit on the bodhran

Now we must show the rhythm section of The Bilge Pumps, starting with Kailyn Dammit on the bodhran....

Phil McGroin with his pirate skulls...

Then on to Phil McGroin with his pirate skulls, shakey-thingies, and maracas...

 rhythm king, Squint, on the doumbek

And finally with our rhythm king, Squint, on the doumbek.

The Maroon, Kailyn, and E

The Maroon, Kailyn, and E see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil during "Isn't it Grand".

2:30 in the morning and all the songs have been sung

It's 2:30 in the morning and all the songs have been sung. Here are the faces that the tired little pirates make.

the tall pirates

A shot of the hail that came pelting down during the show. A sign from the gods? Sure, but who are we to listen to critics?

rolling the old chariot along

We're definitely rolling the old chariot along as Phil concentrates on not messing up the beat, and Crack and Squeegy grind an axe.
