Biography

We Were Pirates is Michael Boggs. Armed with an electric guitar, a casio keyboard, a sparse drum kit, and a laptop, he crafts annoyingly catchy yet simple pop songs. Subject matter ranges from really fun parties and the cruelty of love to self-imposed isolation and geographical dissatisfaction.

We Were Pirates recently released a five-song ep entitled, "The Wolf." The entire ep was written, performed, recorded, and produced by Boggs in his bedroom on his trusty iBook G4.

tic toc... I think it's time for another gem from you guys. I know it's cool to release tracks nicely spread out and to keep us waiting on the edge of our seats with anticipation, but somehow, more than a month without a new track seems kind of ... um, cruel ;)

Love the music. Looking forward to more [soon].

I play trumpet. I compose a little bit but mostly just classical. But i have a very extensive library of music. I do a lot of editing though.

ya i know exactly what you mean. I got mine in may of 2005 and I have had to get two external hard drives and 1GB of extra ram to keep up with all the music I do. I am thinking about upgrading to a 17" macbook pro but i am emotionally attached to my G4!

The music stands on its own. You're most welcome. Keep posting quality stuff and the fans (like me) will just follow and support.

I sure used to, anyway. But I still believe that if you're going to go, go on time. And if you're on the fence about going at all - go! You never know what'll happen. Thanks for the tasty snack of a song!

Let it be known that your version of London Bridge is better than the original... AND it is playing in a Foot Locker Store... which I can't say... but it is :D
