About
Out on the open seas there's a flag that strikes fear into the hearts of all who see it, woe betide the poor soul who weighs anchor and extends the gam to the mutinous dogs of the pirate galleon Bootscraper, they shall not live to see the sun once more rise over the endless horizon of the briny deep. The Captain of the hell born vessel, Whaling Tim press ganged the other members into joining his crew with the promise of untold wealth and fame. The first members to join the group were mutineers from the HMS Splatterbrains, The mother plucking banjo virtuoso Salty Dog and the fairest blonde princess of the high seas, Mandolin McCann. The next scurvy dog to join the wretched crew was none other than the most dreaded of all men ever to sail the high seas, a soul so evil you have to question the very essence of his humanity, Evil Joel with his accordion, the keys of which are carved from the bones of those who have dared to oppose him. In the darkest depths of a godless gypsy land we found our next member, drawn to the place where he was found by the sirens song of his gypsy violin, it did not take much to convince the Kiddy Fiddler that a life without his people by his side was far better than a Death with them. The final additions came as a gift from merciful Poseidon himself, floating in the open ocean on the door that had once adorned their captains door, with death and the sharks not a moment behind them we saved the 2 figures and knew that we had fitted the final pieces of the puzzle together. When they had regained consciousness and the ability to speak we were told that they were a drummer named Alcafrazz and a bassist who we would soon discover there was no man born of a woman who was greater than he, his name, simply... John. with the crew assembled and a clear purpose in life, to travel far and wide raping, pillaging and forcing the tales of our debaucheress doings on all who we meet through the medium of song, we set sail at high tide with the wind at our backs, fire in our eyes and rum in our gullets. Should you encounter us on your travels my advice is to flee, as alive or dead you will bend to our wills.Influences
