We Were Pirates in Wired Magazine!

We Were Pirates is featured in the March issue of Wired Magazine! I’m a huge Wired fan and it is one of only two magazines I subscribe to (get your mind out of the gutter, the other one is Spin). You can see the feature in the print or iPad versions of issue 20.03, so run out and grab a copy….or download the new issue on the iPad app.

“You heard this band’s public radio-friendly pop on This American Life and you heard its tracks on MTV’s: The Real World: DC. So don’t miss “Better Off Without You” from the new album. Catchy synths will have your crew dancing a jig.”

Thanks Wired!

Oh and you can get the new WWP album referenced in the article on iTunes or Bandcamp. Thanks!

This was as much fun to film and edit as it looks like it would have been……especially building the blood cannon.

A Billion thank yous to Mariah Fry, Cicely Procopio, Jason Miller, Christin Boggs, and the band….Gabe Fry, Kate Rears Burgman, and Drew Thiemann. It was a blast. Hope you enjoy it!
