We Were Pirates – Better Off Without You video

DC music video of the day! Did you know that We Were Pirates‘s Mike Boggs is the cousin of former DC songstress Laura Burhenn? I learned that bit of trivia at December’s Federal Reserve Collective reunion show at the Black Cat. I’ve been a fan of this band since seeing them play Fort Reno a few years ago, but most people (NPR fans) will recognize the band’s version of The Three Of Us from This American Life’s Break-Up episode. They’re back on the scene with a brand new album, and a music video for the lead-off track, Better Off Without You.
