Seems the old board was deleted just wanted to appreciate the fingertappin melody masters. Sure the lyrics are crud, but ive been listeneing to highly refined pirates for 4 or 5 years and it still reasonates with me.
Bring em out here

Been meaning to check them out for ages. Thanks for the reminder.
Start with highly refined, still think its their best work
I've think I've had my head in the ground, why hadn't I heard these guys earlier?
I've just downloaded a lot their stuff (shame on me) and I can't wait to get it on vinyl.
It reminds me of Jawbox and Polvo
They're pretty good.
Just did the American leg of Taste of Chaos (for some reason), hopefully that will lead to more exposure which will lead to a tour.
new album in august.
but you may already know that.
Actually, I'm getting mixed up/misinformed about the ToC.
lays down crackpipe
i would love to see these guys live.
i love both albums, but pirates is a great album.
Myspazz bulletin:
''Mainland European dates will be announced shortly and we've got an Australia/Japan tour in the works for early 2008! See you all soon!''
Awesome.
yaya!
their latest album is a little weak. i hope they don't assume we (Asutralian audience) only have Planet of Ice.
I heard a song of these dudes for the first time yesterday, had never heard of them before. Awesome shit!
having a renewed love for MTB at the moment.
get the first album, 6-er - you'll love the song titles at least.
Highly Refined Pirates.
fantastic band
highly refined pirates is a great piece of work
they werent so good live... the albums are good though..
oh yeah, they're awesome. who'd have thought obstacle3 could be right? crazy.
i quite like planet of ice
i do miss the awesome song titles though. ''hey, wanna throw up? get me naked!'' laff.
I haven't heard these guys... can anyone please pop them up on the gmail account?
cheers

I was thinking about going too esquared. Tenrapid is going too!
next!? oh fuck.
tenrapid loves campbelltown and campbelltown loves tenrapid.
Boo for next.
Yay for $10!!!
Ooooh, I'll be in melbs for this! Next no good Filts?
oh wait, colonial? never been there. was thinking of another dodgy king street venue attended for only melbourne show purposes. or perhaps that time that tenrapid dragged us to an emo club to see gaslight radio. it's scary but true.
any fears can be drowned in a fuckload of pre-drinks, am sure of it.
Bad news, the old colonial is the place where click click used to be held.
I'm pretty sure you've been there.
aw, man.
what's the point of this tour? is it about playing the biggest shitholes australia has to offer? top idea. they should get kunnington to support and provide commentary.
hahaha.
fuck it. I'm going to Next. Anyone with me?
I can't go now...and I bet you the reason is because the person I am filling in for is going to the gig. Injustice!
not too far away now!
new album is kinda lame.
i think they are getting too old. that first album still rules though.
New album in August. There's a teaser on YouTube, cbf linking.
Leak!

New album is a return to the guitar-heavy shit of their first couple which is GREAT NEWS. Sounds nothing like 'Omni'. Enjoying this a lot.
