I’m about to leave for DC. I am still running around looking for stuff, but it’s comforting to know that I’ll be home in about 10 hours. See you then.

Our friend Jackie Weiss posted some photos on her blog today of her jamming to “Plane Ticket” while sitting in the back of her Mercedes. NICE! Jackie is a female German race-car driver.

News from Belgium
Sep 5th
Hey guys,
It’s Emily! I think it’s time that I put up an update from my side of the pond to let everyone know what I’ve been up to, how I’m doing, etc.
Moving to Belgium has been a weird adjustment. The FINAL decision to move came really late, so the school I’m going to had to bend over backwards a little to accommodate me. My schedule is still completely messed up as a result, but I’m working to fix it.
Otherwise, I’ve been fighting to catch up on work and have been making some friends (HI STEPH :D). As you can imagine, I really miss DC and can’t wait to go back. BUT, it wouldn’t be a good idea for me to sit around and sulk because I’m not thrilled to have moved… I’ll make the best out of it, and in the mean time, I’ll make sure that I improve as a musician this year.
Speaking of playing guitar and the like, the BULK of my scheduling problems come from my refusing to drop music class. Ohyuss. That must mean something, right?
I brought my new guitar (Mockingbird Pro X), some pedals, an audio interface, mics, and a laptop, so when I need to record any new Power Pirate tracks, I can hop on it right away. I’ll be bringing my guitar and pedals home with me when I go home to DC in about two weeks to play at the H St Music Festival 2010. It’s gonna rawk, so be there. 🙂
Anyway, I’m going to go grab a bite to eat because it’s breakfast time here (and the middle of the night for my DC friends), but if you want to ask something hit me/us up on the Power Pirate Formspring. I think the idea of our band having a Formspring is awesome, so I kind of get a kick out of using it.
See you soon!
Emily

CDs Now Available for Shipping!

Today, we are announcing that “Plane Ticket” is available for order through the Power Pirate Bandcamp page. Once we receive your information, we hand-package the CD, throw in a bumper sticker, and send it your way. Enjoy!
“Plane Ticket” Released!
Apr 11th
It is out. Now you want it on your iPod to play at max volume in the car. You have two options:
1. Come to a show, see us live, and bring home an actual CD. They’re very snazzy-looking, I might add. This is especially for people who like to touch things.
2. Download the album from iTunes, Amazon, Zune, etc. Just search “Power Pirate” and then click the album: “Plane Ticket”. This is for people who do things like edit Wikipedia and update Facebook.
Don’t fit into one of these categories? I guess you have to do both… :p

Its an early show too, so you can do your parties and what not afterwards.

Power Pirate Album Release Show @ U St Music Hall!!!
Mar 26th
FINALLY after 10 months of hard work on recording, mixing, and designing the graphics for the album, we are releasing our debut, ‘Plane Ticket’! There will be a huge show at the U St Music Hall, a new venue in Washington DC! It’s going to be epic. Everyone has to be there.
We are going to be promoting this event like crazy. You can help us out by telling a few of your friends, inviting them to come see us play!
All of the details are on the Facebook event page.
There will be physical copies of the album (which trust me, are really dope) at the show, and it will be on iTunes and other online music stores when it is released.
You can read more details about the album itself in this article.
