Irish Pirates on Steroids play timeless drinking tunes, and wild instrumentals, with a reggae vibe.

notes

The LeperKhanz formed in 2003 to play Irish music at local pubs and parties. The sound was infectious, and since then they have been burried in the art and work of re-invigorating songs that our ancestors have partied to for millennia. Reapplying the party to what they believe to have originally been party music, especially in traditional Irish music, their take is somewhere between The Chieftains, and Parliament.

Though they started with Irish music, currently they play music from all over the world, and mix it with original material as well. They believe in piracy, or taking whatever is available to them and "mixing it up". Though they take a more serious approach to recording, the live show can incorporate bits and pieces of anything from thousand year old sea shanties to NWA or Rage Against the Machine.

"Taking Southern California by storm.....the LeperKhanz play a mix of intense high energy Irish music, heavy psychedelic tones, and feel good pub favorites ......their music sounds like a bunch of crazy ass pirates on steroids."
- The Irish Herald -

  • Music = Life!
    author: scatterolight

    we missed b duetting with mj cause we were busy watching the leperkhanz rock it down at dublin square in san diego. combine irish folk traditional with nine inch nails and speed metal and edge's echo unit on the irish fiddle and you have the leperkhanz. oh yeah, and some pirates singing. drunk. maybe when i'm sober i'll feel different, but all i can say tonight is music = life.

  • Album brings fresh sound to old Irish favorites!
    author: Katy Goodwin

    For someone who is used to more traditional Irish bands like Gaelic Storm, the LeperKhanz will be a shock to the senses. However, those with an appreciation for eclectic musical style will find themselves singing a long to the catchy lyrics.

  • Originality Recorded

  • Unbelievable.
    author: Rolling Stone

    There is so much talent in even one member of this band, that I'm sure they could have four stellar solo careers. As it is, all four working together to achieve this..... is nothing short of unfathomable. This album is like intense passionate sex for you ears.

  • author: jessica

    This was a great cd my son and I love to "pretend" to play violin a long with the cd.

  • Awesome band! Awesome album!
    author: Sami

    Have seen this band a few times at Tom Giblins, and went back there a few times just to see them. They made the atmosphere better than any other Irish setting EVER! (Yes, even beating Ireland) Now seeing that they have a CD out... BUY IT! Its a must have to anybody who goes to Irish pubs!

  • Brilliant CD
    author: Paul Whitworth

    I first saw Leperkhanz at Tom Giblin's last year. They were wonderful and I bought their live CD. This studio-recorded CD is brilliant, with rhY making his violin do things that nobody else can! A great selection of songs with some very original arrangements. These boys are going to go places.

  • Totaaly kick arse CD
    author: Scott T

    Glad I picked up this CD. I saw the Khanz last May while in San Diego at Dublin Square. The version of "Wiskey in the Jar" is tons better than the version done by Metalicka.

  • Fantastic work from a kick as sbad
    author: Brad

    I first heard the Leperkhanz a few years ago (before they broke up, then came back together again) at Tom Giblins. For an entire summer, every thursday I was there with friends enjoying the great music, great stout and pub environment. They separated for a bit, but apparently have come back and sound better than ever. This album contains several covers which offer a spectacular perspective on the song while maintaining respect for the original - the difficult balancing act which makes covers good. Additionally, their originals are fantastic and really scream "Flogging Molly toned down a notch but a little more traditional." Even an informal review of this album is incomplete without mention of its showcase of rHy's incredible violin skills. They match so well with the rest of the band to produce quite a unique, energizing sound - certain songs will have you staring blankly wondering how its all happenning.

  • BEST CD EVER!!
    author: Amanda

    The CD is awesome. I can listen to it over and over again and never get tired of it. Even my 2 year old gets into it. LOVE IT!

  • excellent vocals and instrumentation by a talented group!
    author: deebartone

    this cd is awesome and plays right thru like an epic story. the energy is so infectious that you cannot sit still. the quality of talent and recording makes this cd completely enjoyable to anyone; it transcends all stereotypical boundaries..

  • Great CD!!!!!! Awesome Sound!!!!
    author: Brandi

    Loved the new CD. Glad to finally have a CD by your guys... missed the concerts but now I can hear you whenever I want... And I can let other people listen to how great you are!!!!

  • rock out-dance dance
    author: Linda

    Raucous, reveling, and reckless, my high school students prefer it to rap. This cd transcends generations. Feels good.

  • Rousing round of raucous music that keeps our family dancing!
    author: Carol R.

    Okay, so their are some 'slow' songs,too. My daughter loves step dancing to this CD, and her younger brother loves jumping around. We all enjoy the band's excellent vocals and amazing playing. My kids ask for the 'crazy leprauchan' cd by name!

  • The best Irish CD ever recorded.
    author: rhY

    This is the best Irish CD that I own in a collection of over 200. Period. rhY
