With a sound so unique that it deserves its own genre name, Oslo's Pirate Love takes Scandinavian indie rock to a whole new level. Black Vodoun Space Blues is not only the title of the band's latest release, but is also the most fitting genre name for Pirate Love's raw, mind-bending sound. Signed to Kong Tiki Records, Pirate Love takes its cues not only from 60's garage punk, rockabilly, and goth, but is also equal parts sex, drugs, and violence. Their signature sound is most reminiscent of Jesus and The Mary Chain, The Cramps, and The Horrors.
Having played various music festivals in both Norway and North America with such colossal acts as Serena Maneesh, Pirate Love is no stranger to the stage. The band will be bringing its electrifying live show to Austin this March for a string of SXSW shows and securing themselves as the wildest and most twisted showstoppers at this year's festival. Instead of basking in the SXSW afterglow, Pirate Love will then be extending the face melting invitation to the rest of the East coast as they tour alongside the UK's garage punk rockers Thee Vicars.
