Flag Day v. Hoodstock 2.0
April 28th, 2008
Last summer, The Syndicate’s Hoodstock took on Pirate’s Flag Day in an epic clash held on the battle grounds of Astoria…and so began the battle for the ultimate summer party. Everyone was in full force and the pressure was on: The wrestling match between The Syndicate's Jon Landman and Pirate’s Steve Theo somehow resulted in a catastrophe so great it turned into a tag-team match - eventually defeating itself in a pool full of maple syrup and stale beer. Such mayhem continued in a contest between Doug of Pirate! and Pat of the Syndicate, where the ball clearly went into the strawberries and should of resulted in a 2 shot penalty. The referee did not notice and points were not altered, which lead to the final death match to decide the fate of the party. Matt from the Syndicate was able to eat 12 Moonpies - 1.5 more than Pirate’s Canada in the final battle of the afternoon giving Hoodstock a close and extremely controversial win! This year on the afternoon of Saturday June 14th 2008 at Fontana’s in NYC the battle will continue.... Hoodstock vs Flag Day II !!!!! Come celebrate the celebration! Be part of the mayhem! Battle the epic battle!!! Beer will be provided by Dogfish Head. Bear Hugs will be provided by Steve and Matt. Canada will provide Beards, Pat will provide surprises. Doug and Meredith with dance your face off. Graham will high five you until his hand is officially crippled. Drink up, Lefty.

January 23rd, 2008
Hello friends! Thanks for checking out the all new Pirate! web site! There are some great new features like our new tour-date feed, new radio station map, new downloads page, and more! Here is a breakdown of what is here and some helpful tips! Stations - The new stations page is an interactive map of The US and Canada where clicking on each state/province will give you links below to each station in that area. If you are from a station and don't see yourself listed get us a link to your site! Downloads - The new downloads page is now filled with full-album downloads of many of our current priorities. You'll need a username/password to access the downloads so if you are from a station and don't have one let us know at radio at piratepirate dot com. On Tour - Our new tour page is powered by Tourfilter which is a great service for tracking bands coming to your city. We have a Pirate! account set up which tracks all our past bands in every city that they currently track. Just subscribe via iCal or RSS or view the HTML version from the links on the tour page! We have also streamlined a lot of the info on the site to make it easier to find and use. So make sure you check out the Radio and Press pages, the new Mates page, the Contact page, etc. Then once the important stuff is out of the way check out the new Photos page, all the old photo albums from the old site have been moved over as well as brand new photos from our recent trip to Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas!
