The Bilge Pumps - Past Landings: O'Malley's Pub 2006

Weston, MO September 2, 2006

Our friends Tullamore got themselves into a bit of a pickle as they were booked for the KC Irish festival the same night they were booked to do O'Malley's. We happened to come along looking to perform at O'Malleys that weekend since we were in KC. All of a sudden, we went from pirates begging for a gig to unintentional rescuers as we rolled up to Weston, Missouri to sub in for Tullamore's first set on Saturday night. We had a blast performing at one of the coolest pubs ever and give the regulars a dose of alternative folk music, pirate-style.

The Bilge Pumps spend the first 15 minutes of their set trying to get the sound system to work	The Bilge Pumps' amplified voices echo through the underground cavern	Luckily for the band, they have extended their stage out to make it large enough for a 1/2 ton of pirates to fit on
John and Phil have either absorbed way too much alcohol or are at the end of a long performance day	Maroon seems to be having trouble interpreting the hand signals from Harvey and Galleon	Harvey points out the lone couple on the first floor that can hear us over the chatter of the drunken teachers in front of the stage
