It was 2006 earthly time when the Space Pirates were banned from their home planet, because the only acceptable music there was bubbling. Not willing to comply with this, 3 of them thought out to find another planet, where their music would be accepted. Since then they have drifted across the galaxy for gigs and recognition. Earth has proven to be a very fertile planet to produce music and perform; therefore it has become their home base.
With their sawing electro the Space Pirates conquered many hearts right from the start. April 2007 was their big Earthly debut on Dutch Queens day in Eindhoven, at an open-air stage. With the limited means they had brought with them, they again dazed many techno heart. Shortly after this the fourth Pirate followed. Because his visuals didn’t have any meaning in the bubbling scene, he said goodbye to his home planet and accompanied the others in the quest for recognition.
September 2007, in spite of the fact that their shows need do be experienced, the Space Pirates launched their first DVDemo. Three month later they were performing in one of the showcases of the B-Stage (BRAM). Even though they competed against rock bands, before a rock crowd, they managed to get the audience go mad. Radio station 3FM has given the Space Pirates 15 minutes of airplay already, and others have hosted as well. Queens day 2008 was another big show for the Pirates. Now in the line-up of PACT, one of the biggest and most favorable parties in Eindhoven, they rocked the parking garage on its foundations. Since then there has been a lot of investments in hardware and growth musically. The latest and biggest achievement has been winning the public prize in ‘De Grote Prijs Van Nederland’ (the most prestigious talent showcase in Holland).
Music
The Space Pirates is a four-man formation, and it’s members want to give live performance a whole new meaning. Too often live performance is only one or two people clicking behind their laptops; The Pirates intend to make a change in this belief system! Not only the music, but also the vocals are being brought live on-stage. During their shows they want more than just perform, they seek out the interaction with the audience which is so important for all artists and performers alike. This results in an ecstatic crowd and new fans everywhere they go. The shows are supported by interactive visuals and animations; all made by the Space Pirates them selves. In the music of the Space Pirates you can find a new and refreshing mixture of electro, techno, minimal, techhouse and much more. No-one has been able to properly fit their music into one category, and that probably why everyone seems to like it. It is an original mix, with no boundaries; anything goes. Not only do they use common electronic music equipment, they integrate analogue instruments as well to come to their very specific sound. Show less
