About

   In August of 2004, vocalist “Skipper” Shawn “Short Dong” Dillon (The Rodneys), bassist “Handsome” John “Miserable” McGuire (Pencey Prep), and guitarist George “The Fisherman” Collazo (Nancy Drew, Dead Go West), formed punk rock pirate band, Brine & Bastards.  Merging their love of punk rock, sea shanties and nautical lore, New Jersey’s premiere purveyors of filth and fury gave birth to a fun, kick ass stage show. 

      On their maiden voyage, Brine & Bastards sold out the seminal Loop Lounge.  From there, they went on to play with circus-themed World Inferno Friendship Society and Cartoon Network sensation, MC Chris; all while sailing a perilous sea of line-up changes, even breaking Spinal Tap’s drummer record.  Shortly thereafter, the drummer Dan “The Navigator” Peacock (Theee Bishops) joined the crew, finalizing the rhythm section.

      Retooled and repurposed, Brine & Bastards took a 6 month furlough to refit and record their debut album.  The scurvy slime named the record Set Sail For Sodomy, a reference to the oft Churchill attributed quote, “The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash.”  

      Today, Brine & Bastards sallies forth, joined by “The Mad Alchemist” Matt Dallow on accordion and “Dead Eye” Dave Trainer on guitar.  The crew plants its dread flag through venues like Maxwell’s, Otto’s Shrunken Head and Asbury Lanes, slaying mediocrity and soiling the Garden State’s indie rock and emo graves.
