Hometown Sounds

Mike Boggs’ indie pop band We Were Pirates has recently reactivated after a quiet period during the making of the score to the Calvin & Hobbes documentary Dear Mr. Watterson. Our Live Picks! contributor and podcast co-host Tony Porreco interviewed Mike for his debut installment of DCist’s Three Stars column, so go read that if you missed it last week. For today’s video, check out a live acoustic performance of Civilized Man, my favorite track from the former buccaneers’ excellent 2012 album Change, shot outside a church a few weeks ago by Tim Causa. Special shouts to drummer Pat Frank for banging on a guitar case.
