Pirate Jenny: "Greetings From
Slayland" 6-song Cassette
Scabbydisc Music
1999 $10
Hucklescary Finn:
"Pirates of Scamalot" 10-song CD
Scabbydisc Music 2006 $15 (out of stock)
Kevin Hendrickson & Matt Giger's piratey rock songs
take place in the enchanted pirate kingdom of Scamalot
where Scabby the pirate searches for pleasure,
the mysterious brothers Otis Rex and Skreebeard
continue their epic struggle for the throne, and
mischievous Captain Jennifer disappears just as her ship
prepares to make sail.
This sixth and newest
Hucklescary Finn release, a collection of both upbeat and
nefarious pop from a pirate's perspective echoes the early
days of Pirate Jenny or Captain Bogg & Salty (both
bands have covered Hucklescary Finn songs), and ranges from
gentle acoustic ballads, to metal-tinged guitar riffs in
the vein of Sabbath, to xylophone and accordion ska
grooves.

With its layers of acoustic guitars, tender love songs and
multi-track vocals, Never-Sea Land might just be the Pet
Sounds of pirate music. This Portland Quartet spent months
in the studio crafting tracks around a singular theme,
setting drifting harmonies against a gorgeous piano
backdrop on "Galleons of War,"
juxtaposing a xylophone with a Byrds-like guitar riff
in "Smiling Skull" and copping '70s power chords to evoke
the evil "Captain Slaymore." Rather that relying on
schtick, Pirate Jenny earnestly tackles British pop and
American rock while singing chanteys about dangerous
sea-faring bandits or lonely men stuck on a ship and
longing for the loves they've left behind. Kevin
Hendrickson's complex guitar parts intermingle with Paul
Iannotti's Keyboard and xylophone excursions, and the two
trade lead vocal responsibilities with equally strong
results. Bassist Eric Furlong and drummer John Morgan
remain in the background, subtly keeping the vessel on
course. The winso! me title track, laced with melodica-like
keyboard and a deep-voiced chorus, points out the pirate's
dilemma:
"We sail and we sail and we never see land just rum in
the bottle and a pip in my hand /Never got rich 'cause we
never had a plan and the treasure just rusts in the corner
of the galley below."
Because of the limitations of such an angular approach,
Never-Sea Land could have been a fiasco, but instead this
band's dynamic debut is filled with evocative lyrics and a
cornucopia of clever musical passages. Pirate Jenny seems
to have come ashore to show the Beach Boys the downside of
a life by the sea, albeit within a similar pop framework.

Pirate Jenny: "Once Upon A Wave"
17-song CD
Scabbydisc Music 1999 $15
Pirate Jenny is releasing its latest CD, "Once Upon a
Wave," a disc with a rich buccaneer theme. The songs walk
the plank between ska, alt.folk-rock, Gilbert &
Sullivan-style operetta tunes and traditional-sounding
chanteys. All will leave you wanting to grab a cutlass,
grow a beard and sail the seas with a parrot on your
shoulder.
-Kyle O'Brien, The Oregonian 4/15/99
Kevin Hendrickson: "Ship to Shore"
10-song CD
Scabbydisc Music 2001 $15
This exciting pop album shows the influence of
Kevin's songwriting favorites XTC, Oingo Boingo, and Brian
Wilson. "If I Could Make My Dreams Into Movies" makes a
perfect summer soundtrack with
groovy bass and guitar reminiscent of the blue-eyed
soul of Squeeze. As with Kevin's other project Captain Bogg
& Salty, the songs appeal to a wide audience and are
clever enough for adults while engaging enough for kids.
"If I Could Make My Dreams Into Movies" was chosen by
Disney for use in a television show last fall on the
ABC/Family network. Other hits include the tempestuous pop
sea-story of "Radio Man" and the driving ska of "Love's
Villains."
