9/03/10 THIS JUST IN - It seems Waxy O'Shea's like's that we've been pimpin an after-party there on Saturday nights during the faire run. So, even if there is another band playing, and they have a door charge, simply mention you're there for the "Musical Blades After-Party" and you won't have to pay the cover!! How cool is that?! The next 7 weekends are going to be a blast!! ANOTHER "THIS JUST IN" - 6th weekend of KCRF we've got some friends of ours coming in from Michigan. A pirate group named "The Bawdy Boys". They'll be performing at KCRF, probably even with us a few times, but on Saturday night (Oct 9) they'll be performing Waxy O'Shea's, and oh yea, we'll performing a bit with them. You're going to love this group!! AND YET ANOTHER "THIS JUST IN" - We're all about helping charities every chance we get... trying to earn our way into Pirate Heaven, so to speak. ;) But this time we get to give something back to YOU! See the picture in the left hand column? Oh yea, that's a 56,000+ ring Chain-Mail shirt! And yea, we're giving it away! :) Click for details
8/28/10 Tis the season, for the Kansas City Renaissance Festival! KCRF holds a special place in our little pirate hearts, for it's the Faire Musical Blades started at. It's also our hometown Faire. It's also one of a select few Faires that people from all over the country attend each year, and we're very proud to be part of it. It is for these reasons that KCRF is typically our official launching pad when we release a new CD. This year is no exception. We will again be performing the entire seven weekend run, beginning Labor Day weekend! Join us for five shows daily on the Seafarer's Beer Garden Stage, as well as the end of the day Pub Sing on the Three Lions Stage. This year we'll also be performing at the Pirate Feast, which takes place at 1:30 daily. Here's our official schedule - A couple of songs at morning gate (as always) - 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm on the Seafarer's Beer Garden Stage - 1:30 at the Pirate Feast - 4:30 at the Royal Smoker - 5:30 at Pub Sing... Whew..... In addition, we would love for everyone to join us each Saturday night during the KCRF run for an after party at Waxy O'Shea's Irish Pub, in Shawnee, KS. The after party is just a chance for us to sit and chill with fans/friends at our favorite Irish Pub/Restaurant, and who knows, maybe bust into a song or three ;) "Wait a minute... back up. Did you say NEW CD?!" LOL, why yes we did. The new CD is entitled "Modern Day Pirate", and as of this writing is still being recorded. We're hoping to have it completed within the next couple of weeks, ship it off for duplication, and have it back in time for a fourth weekend KCRF release... fingers crossed. The new CD is host to several of the songs we've introduced to many of you at Bars, Pubs, Concerts, Parties and other Renaissance Festivals through out our Spring and Summer 2010 season. To name a few; Modern Day Pirate, Count Off, Whiskey in Pawn, Blow Ye Winds, Will the Circle be Unbroken, and The Ballad of Salty Pete. These, and a whole lot more (however many we can fit) will soon be available with this new release that we think you're going to love... I know we do! :) The website release for this new CD will be concurrent with our faire release, so those not able to make the show can still get it, right here at musicalblades.com, for the same price as at our shows... and we'll eat the shipping. Expect a new section for "Modern Day Pirate" here at the website soon, as well as a complete listing of the new songs, along with their lyrics, in the Lyrics section (linked at the very top of each page).
