Sforzando

SFZ is pronounced 'Sforzando' or 'Ess Eff Zed'. Either/or.



On all good pirate ships there existed a pirate orchestra. It was the orchestra's responsibility to chronicle in song the adventures of the pirates. SFZ are an 8-piece pirate orchestra who blend ferocious punk, Western European folk melodies and classic sea shanties to create a soundscape for the ocean. They sing of sailors that can't swim, ships that won't sail, dangerous mermaids and sirens ravishing the waves, mutineers, the vengeance of the sea Gods, the fury of the ocean, the destruction of the shoreline, the poetry of waves and of course, pirates. Especially pirates.

Don't look at our website. It hasn't been touched in about 7 years. I think it says we're playing at The Punter's Club this Friday.
