Drawing inspiration from fellow denizens of the deep like Nick Cave, The Decemberists and The Pogues, their pelagic folk rock charts some dark and dangerous waters, and a more mangy, cross-bred collection of influences, from gypsy to bush-band via cabaret, country and rock you’ll not hear. In the world of the Good Ship it's the good stuff that sinks to the bottom...
Live, The Good Ship are a seething maelstrom of decadent musicality, with up to nine members on stage at any one time and a whole heap of archaic instrumentation from mandola, lagerphone, fiddle and trumpet to accordion. This sense of joy and anarchy hasn’t been lost on audiences and after only a short time, the crew have gathered a loyal following throughout Australia.

About this track...
"Powder Monkey" is the second single from "O'Exquisite Corpse" and it is exactly what you would expect from the lads and lasses of The Good Ship; country, cabaret rock.
