Photo Review: Pedals on our Pirate Ships, The Wild, Regular Size People Fight
Posted by elawgrrl on Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 12:30 PM
Pedals on our Pirate Ships finally sailed into Tampa on July 21, 2009! Which explains how I found myself out late on a Tuesday work night at Transitions Art Gallery to see Pedals on our Pirate Ships (Richmond), The Wild (Atlanta) and Regular Size People Fight (Tampa).
Pedals on our Pirate Ships
My friend Jeff made me some mix CDs last winter and immediately catching my attention was a song, "Peter Pan Syndrome", with this chorus "Will you be my Wendy? Will you be my Tinkerbell? / Don't be silly you can be my Tiger Lily still" and lines such as "We don't have goals but we have lots of fun" and "but secretly we all miss our mothers, we seek security in the arms of lovers." When I couldn't get the song out of my head, I looked up the band with a peculiar name, Pedals on our Pirate Ships, and listened to the rest of the songs posted on their myspace page and was hooked.
Hailing from Richmond, VA, these folk punk rockers play extremely fun and catchy folk punk tunes with just a tinge of introspection. In "reinventing Bryan Adams" Matt belts out "Why do they call it goodbye, doesn't feel so good to me, why don't we call a spade a spade, say what we really mean... look me in the eye and say loving you is fucking killing me" At the show, a small but enthusiastic crowd sang along at the top of their lungs to the crowd favorites including "Peter Pan Syndrome" and "Night of the Living Wage."
Originally, Pedals on our Pirate Ships was Matt Seymour's solo acoustic project featuring an extensive guest and former member list including the following musicians: Michael Otley, Jameson Price, Tim Baker, Casey Martin, Lindsay Sisk, Tim Barry, Nick Bergheimer, Tim Carroll, Ian Cassidy, David Donaldson, Lindsey Driscoll, David Hughes, Joe Hunt, Joe Mager, Josh Small, Daniel Rickey, and Adam Thompson. It's amazing how much more fun a show is when the band is having as much fun as the audience and that was certainly true at this show. Adding to the visual joy of Pedals on our Pirate Ships, the drummer uses a steamer trunk as a bass drum.
Pedals on our Pirate Ships currently are Matt Seymour (vocals/guitar) with Adrienne Brown (vocals/melodica/tambourine) and Louis Cyrtmus (drummer)
The Wild
We arrived during The Wild's set. I liked them immediately and not just because they had a banjo in their punk rock band. Hailing from Atlanta, The Wild also plays music in the folk punk genre. Like Pedals on our Pirate Ships, they had a great time playing and as a consequence the audience had a great time listening. I look forward to checking out their recorded material.
The Wild is Kylee (drums), Ben (Bass), Dianna (Tambourine and vocals and more!) and Witt (guitar and vocals)
Regular Size People Fight
Regular Size People Fight features a group of talented Tampa musicians from Dukes of Hillsborough, Watson and The Tim Version playing post-punk. It was fun to see these guys playing something a bit different... I haven't heard their record "Yowza!" (Fast Crowd Records) yet but No Idea Records describes it as "Smart lyrics and clever guitar riffs that will make you want to crack open a cold one and sing along."
