Edit history

Best described as a sound somewhere between the Beach Boys and Nirvana, Pirates Alive are a garage-rock band that infuse a grungy flavour with their sun-bleached surf style, a sound that is turning heads and making waves around the country. The three-piece formed late 2010 and consists of three mates from school who grew up on the Gold Coast, who enjoy a surf-drenched lifestyle with a soundtrack to match. Their music draws from a wide range of bands the three listen to, with favourites such as Kings of Leon, Black Lips, Tame Impala and The Vines to name a few. This wide range of influences shines through through both their live performance and on their EP’s. Their debut EP was titled “Beach Daze,” recorded by Dusty Anastassiou (Woe & Flutter vocalist) at Griffith University studios on the Gold Coast. The 4 track EP, was released early last year, which led to the bands success in 2012, playing a list of awesome shows such as Gold Coast’s Big Day Out, Surfers Paradise Festival,
