AHOY, PIRATES!
Mr. Hurley & Die Pulveraffen have once again mastered the balancing act between traditional folk and modern rock sounds and have launched brand new sea shanties. With powerful rhythms, infectious melodies and robust vocals, the siblings from Osnabrück sail through rough times. Often humorous, sometimes thoughtful, but always authentic.
Since their formation in 2009, Mr. Hurley & die Pulveraffen have established themselves as one of the most successful and original bands on the German folk rock scene. With a mixture of humor, adventurousness and powerful music, the band has won numerous fans throughout Europe. Their live shows are known for their energy and humor. With the last five albums, Mr. Hurley and the Powder Monkeys have always been at the top of the charts and have impressively shown that they are the undisputed captains of the folk seas. The band delivers new studio music every two years. And so Mr. Hurley (vocals, guitar, mandolin, cello), Buckteeth Bannock (vocals, accordion, piano, flutes), The One-Eyed Morgan (vocals, cajón, percussion, bodhrán, piano) and Pegleg Peggy (vocals, bass, double bass) are back with new material in 2027. With album number nine, the folk buccaneers set sail for another musical adventure. The much-celebrated band, known for their powerful rhythms and catchy melodies, once again present an explosive mix of party-loving sea shanties, pirate romance and raw stories from their eventful world on their upcoming album. With songs about the perhaps not entirely historically accurate everyday life of pirates on the Caribbean seas, the band shows time and again that clever lyrics and the ability not to take themselves and the scene too seriously are among their greatest strengths.
