We spoke to Gareth Murdock, the bass player of Alestorm who describe themselves as,

"....a drunken band of pirates on an epic quest to drink your beer, steal your rum, and be the greatest damn band that ever did sail the seven seas!"

The band is currently in New Zealand but kick off the Australian leg of their tour this Tuesday night, 24th November in Perth before causing more mayhem in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne.

Check out our interview below on all things Alestorm, including pirates, fun times and what is ahead for fans on this tour!
