The Love Pirates at Otto's Shrunken Head

Frank Wood throws the best rock and roll parties with his Wind Down Sunday showcases at Otto’s Shrunken Head. Among the featured bands tonight was the Love Pirates. Here was a New York band that loves the Rolling Stones. Lead vocalist/guitarist Gass Wylde (for a time a member of the Pretenders) even has the facial looks of a Mick Jagger and the body and wardrobe of a Keith Richards. Harmonica player Android gave the band a touch of the J. Geils Band. Back in the days when those bands were playing bars and small music clubs, they probably sounded a lot like the Love Pirates do today, except the Pirates have raised the tempo and the energy level.
