What a night !

It seems that performing at the Chinese House turns out well for the Mekong Pirates.

We saw the musicians play and perspire, the audience dance and sing, the stage collapse and the public carry the pirates... on their back !

Thank you for this hysterical evening. And a special thank to Paul for his warm welcome in his Chinese house.

Back to China

After an expeditious yet triumphant tour in kep, the Mekong Pirates are back in Phnom Penh !

They will be at the Chinese House on Friday May 28th

All around and equipped with new pieces.

Come in crowds, we'll keep warm ...

All ready to rock you

Dom (trumpet) is back.

He hasn't even recovered from his farewell concert and there he is, back in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
Since then, the MP are all around, and many events are scheduled for June.
Stay tuned on this blog.

The Pirates hit the sea !

The Mekong Pirates will be sailing at last !

They will be in concert at Kukululu guesthouse in Kep on Saturday 3 April from 9 pm onwards (free entrance).

Let's all meet in Kep to see if those Pirates who've never sailed can face the waves.

Back at FCC

The MP invest the FCC of PP (Sisowath Quay). They will play there on
Saturday March 20th from 9 pm to really late. With the intention of
putting this respectable establishment upside down, just as last time.
Come and give them a hand!

Farewell to Marion and Dom !

Thanks to all of you who came to Tamarind to listen to Marion, surrounded by her agitated Pirates one last time, a few hours only before she left the Kingdom of Cambodia, heading towards new exciting adventures.
Good luck to Dom as well in his journey.
So long !

Almost professional

The question was whether MP were the most professional group in town: 50% responded YES... while the other half is still in doubt.
Well, we will try to convince you (or not) during our next concerts.
In the meantime, as it seems many of you actually believe what's written in Asia Life, here's an abstract of their reports after the FCC concert :

" The FCC rooftop was teeming with revellers from all walks of life. It seems the entire city had come out to see phnom Penh's favourite eclectic 15 musicians band. The energy level was on overload as dancers crowded to the front and vraned their necks to catch a glimp of the band's pirate costumes".

Mekong Pirates Unplugged

Soon, Marion (guitar) and Dom (trumpet) will leave the Kingdom of Cambodia.

For one last night, they will play music with friends, especially with their Pirates of the Mekong. You are welcome to hear them for this last gig, for once unplugged.

When ? Friday 12 February

Where ? Tamarind Restaurant (Street 240)

Party with friends

Lady Penh celebrates its first birthday !

We'll party at the Chinese House on Saturday February 6th with "Kheltica" (Celtic music), "Cacath and the Poporks" (Jazz and more) and... The "Phnom Penh Horns" (Brass section of the Mekong Pirates).

Hope to see you there !
