FCC Phnom Penh

Between two recording sessions, the Mekong Pirates will play live and loud at the FCC.

Saturday 13 November, from 9pm till late... free entrance.

The Mekong Pirates are back!

After a short yet active few months of absence, the Pirates are back on stage in Phnom Penh.

They will play on October 16th, right where they belong: at the Chinese House

Since the 13 members of the group felt a little bit lonely, Samret, a Khmer musician will come and give them a hand

Caution: the concert will start at 8 pm. A happy hour cocktail (Pirates punch at $1) will surely convince you

Latest news from the Pirates

In a few days, the Pirates will use their rehearsal place more than ever as it is now turned into a recording studio: they are burning their first album!

For those of you who don't want to miss a bit of this new project, a blog will keep you posted @ MP Recording Sessions

But what are the Pirates without the heat of live performances? New dates in Phnom Penh will come up very soon.

Stay tuned.

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

He hasn't even recovered from his farewell concert and there he is, back in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
