The promise of a new backdrop to the new Paradox Pub stage never materialized, so the band was forced to cobble together their own.
|
The band gets together with Steve from Haggis Rampant to work through their surprise song for the 2nd weekend benefit concert (see below)
|
Sharkbait Simon the Scapegoat gets a leg full of Harvey the Corpsman during "The Gun Shanty".
|
Harvey the Corpsman snags up some volunteers for "Sailor's Hornpipe", including one of the Whiskey Bay Rovers.
|
Meanwhile, the musicians do their best to try and not look at all the dancing.
|
The owner's wife, Amy, joins Harvey on stage to bust out renditions of songs from Hamilton and Wicked during "Old Dun Cow".
|
The band sings about all the foul winds that rise up at the end of the weekend during "Privy Wind".
|
Maroon the Shantyman shows everyone the first step to surviving in a pirate band.
|
John Crow the Cook goes down low, looking for a way to keep Harvey from doing whatever Harvey does.
|
Maroon metaphorically sprays the audience with blood in lieu of having to actually do it for real.
|
That look is what happens when the notes you expect aren't the notes you hear.
|
Maroon eases his poor ears from the powerful dighys being wielded on stage during "Strike the Bell".
|
Somebody shouted "MacIntyre"!
|
Now this is an invitation that few of our fans can resist... to heave to.
|
The band abandons Maroon to do his damned hard city name rhyme by himself on "Donkey Riding".
|
Ah, there's nothing like that strangely large Sunday morning crowd in Louisiana.
|
Maroon and the Jack the Rum Runner try to figure out what happened to all the tips he collected in that deep hat.
|
Jack practices his surfing technique right before he leaps into the audience to try to crowd surf.
|
The band takes a break in the lanes to grab some lunch between sets.
|
Harvey digs up some willing Pumpettes to grace the stage for "Johnny Jump Up".
|
Before the show begins, the pre-show must begin, and before that, the pre-pre-show games.
|
Splice the Rigger joins the band on stage for the final weekend to lend much-needed vocal balance.
|
Splice and Harvey acts like Statler and Waldorf, criticising Maroon's singing during "Paddy Lay Back".
|
Now that the audience has received their pun-ishment from the band, the time must fit the crime.
