Happy New Year

January 23, 2013

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. We’re currently in the studio tracking old tunes while simultaneously working out arrangements for the new tunes. Much accomplished but, still a long way to go. We’ll continue to keep you posted and periodically share our progress in something other than written word.

Spread love, not chlamydia.

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 21, 2012

Happy Thanksgiving!

A little update coming your way on the eve of the greatest holiday ever!

New Pilot has concluded our 2012 show schedule and we’re eagerly gearing up for the next album.  Over the next few months we’ll be tweaking songs, writing new songs, getting a little weird, getting a little inebriated, waging passionate arguments about the creative process, celebrating success, taking failure in stride – we’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll sweat, we’ll bleed and what we hope comes out on the other side is a full length album – the likes of which you’ve never heard.

We want to thank all of you how came out to support us this year. You guys are the best. Seems that every show is better than the last and that’s a testament to the good people who come out and give us encouragement, buy our music and merch, and spread the word about five guys who just want to have a good time.

Check back often for updates and other goodies we’ll be posting over the winter months. Expect us back on the scene in the early Spring months of 2013.

 

Be well, love one another, and take care.

Happy Thanksgiving,

-NP

Luigi CasasIt’s been a long time since I’ve posted a haiku on the New Pilot page. My good friend, old college roommate, and my ambassador to the Philippines and all things Asian, Luigi wrote this gem and I thought I’d share it with all of you… We’ve all been there.
