2009 Philly Pirate Cruise Band Announcement!

Last year's Philly Pirate Cruise offered the first live performance for the event with great success, and this year we are proud to present another band that we are sure will be a crowd pleaser. We're very please to bring you the very first maritime appearance by Philadelphia's very own The Young Werewolves.

Combining elements of rockabilly, surf, and punk, all with a delightful horror tinge, The Young Werewolves bring a hi-octane performance that has attracted fans from all over. Fans of groups like Zombina & The Skeletones, Ghoultown or Nekromantix will surely enjoy them.

Their 2008 release Cheat The Devil was received with high acclaim nation wide, and featured horror legend Sid Haig (The Devil's Rejects). Their music has been featured on such television shows as The Real World(MTV), Dog The Bounty Hunter(A&E), Friday Night Lights(NBC), and Burn Notice(USA).

If you have never had the opportunity to see and hear The Young Werewolves, this will be one of the best places to do so over the Halloween season in Philadelphia.
