Details:
The Jolly Rogers are an indie/alternative to straight up rock band started
by drummer Lucas Moomaw, guitarist Luke Craig, and bassist Andrew Capen in
the spring of 2005. A few months after this, they played in a variety show
where they met guitarist Ethan Hypes, and immediately began playing with
him. This band experiments with comedic rock songs as well as songs that
somewhat criticize current social America. The chief lyric writers in the
band are Moomaw and Craig, but the entire band usually contributes to each
song.
When The Jolly Rogers had been performing at restaurants and small local
festivals for about a two year-and-a-half, they played in Watauga High Schoolâs
Battle of the Bands, sponsored by Watauga youth Networkâs, âKidstock,â
festival. The band won and shortly thereafter recorded on The John Lennon
Educational Tour Bus (http://www.jlsc.com/bus/). This was a big break for
the band because it enabled them to record a CD, courtesy of Disk Makers.
In March of 2007 the band recorded their debut album, âUnder The Sombrero,â
which thus far is the only album they have produced as a group. To learn
