There are at least two bands named Sky Pilots:
1. a Dutch pop/rock band featuring Matthijs van Duijvenbode
2. a US noise band hailing from San Francisco
1) Sky Pilots released their self-titled debut album in April 2014. Matthijs van Duijvenbode, previously active as a musical partner to Tim Knol and Douwe Bob Postuma, is the band's lead singer.
2) Bass Runner Mike Chopko and Time Gunner Bill French met on Craigslist. Their first meeting was in a bar and their second encounter ended in the bedroom at Mike's apartment. A few weeks later, Mike's buddy Pat Wachter touched down in San Francisco, guitar in hand. And then the three flew out of the starting gates at 115 per.
Soon they found themselves at Closer Recording with engineer extraordinaire Dylan Magierek. In a three-day whirlwind, the Pilots recorded and mixed their self-titled debut album.
With their first self-released album freshly printed, the Sky Pilots felt like showing it off so they put a bunch of them in a box and sang their own praises on their East Coast tour in November 2005. With 12 shows over two weeks, they honed the live experience into a one of chaotic glory.
