It was Kailyn Dammit's last show with The Bilge Pumps and we think he wore this shirt just to torture us one more time.

Speaking of startling changes, Phil McGroin goes with Squeegy and Kailyn's lead and chops his hair off.

The Bilge Pumps debut "Beggarman" to the D/FW crowd. It's the CD release party... you gotta play songs off the CD.

The new double-doumbek rhythm section of the band gets funky on "Cape Cod Girls". Well, all right. So Squint is the rhythm section and Maroon just drums along.

E tries his hand at being an Aborigine as he plays the didjeridu on "Wop Jamboree"

When it's time to drink and dance and sing "Drunken Sailor", you just can't stop Phil.

E tries to give Kailyn a little extra "umph!" with the didj since Kailyn had to cheat on the words to "Haul, Boys, Haul"

This is a truly frightening shot of Kailyn trying to act like a homeboy going to Milgalay.

If Maroon's laughing that hard, he must have just heard himself drum on "Haul, Boys, Haul"

Looks like the Cabin Boy's finally getting some reciprocation. Either that, or Squint fell asleep during "Mingalay Boat Song" again.

It's Siren the Rigger doing some riggin, 'cause that's what riggers do... rig!

Phil's checking out that red scarf E tied onto his mic to try and look like Steven Tyler of Aerosmith.

You can just tell there's some serious singing going on here. Can't ya? ... No, really.

The pirate versions of The Bilge Pumps take a break and send in their redneck cousins to do a little rendition of "Ar Fa La La Yee-Ha!"

Methinks they're looking a bit too comfortable in those overalls singing "Roll the Woodpile Down".

Squint really seems to take to being a country boy. We all think he's a closet redneck.

The Bilge Pumps, along with their harmonica-playin' pal, Josh, get crazy on the blues version of "Itches in Me Britches".

Man, when you look like that in concert, you'd have the blues, too.

That's one fine lookin' bunch of corn-fed pirates.
