“I was filming in Greece for 28 weeks, and the production used to take us out for meals every night where some traditional Greek players were getting up and playing old traditional Greek music,” offers founding member and guitarist Laurence Archer on ‘Pirate Song’. “I got chatting to one of the guys and asked what these traditional songs were all about. He said they were nearly all about piracy and the smuggling. I had an acoustic guitar with me I always practiced on. In all Greek music, they basically have this ‘open drone’ going on in the background, so, I de-tuned the guitar, started doing this thing, and the next thing I know I came up with the song.”
In addition to the release of the video, the band now also unveil their upcoming tour dates, as pictured below.
