PILOT
Helicopter Pilot A Tribute to Rock If the Gods of Rock ever birthed
a child, the outcome would most likely be Helicopter Pilot, born
solely to Rock Socks Off and destroy any band who dares imitate
them... With that said, let's start from the beginning, back in
time to when Helicopter Pilot was just a name for your average,
run of the mill flight operator. No one could ever expect that
four young boys would soon grow up to form a heavy-hitting, pulse-pounding,
non-stop rocking band that no other could match.
Scott grew up in Boston, NY, where he started playing drums at
the early age of 10. Scott went to school in Orchard Park, NY
where he met his future guitarist, Brandon. Throughout middle
school, Scott and Brandon formed a friendship and talked about
their love for music and decided to get together one day to basically
jam and see how things turned out. At the time, Brandon and Scott
had only been playing their instruments for about 3 years, so
nothing really clicked musically. Scott and Brandon still reserved
their friendship but decided to keep music on the back burner.
Jay was raised in Lakeview, NY and attended Frontier High School...most
of the time. It was there where he met Joe, the undiscovered musical
prodigy who lived and breathed music since he was able to speak.
Joe had mastered piano by the age of 15 and developed an incredible
talent for singing. Joe and Jay formed a friendship, and from
that Joe noticed Jay's interest in music and eagerness to learn
how to play bass. Jay eventually went his own way musically and
used Joe's lessons as his guideline.
In 2002, being seniors in high school, Scott and Brandon decided
that it would be a good time to actually start up a band. They
had been playing their instruments for about 8 years a piece and
both deemed each other talented enough to form a band that would
not only rock everyone's socks off, but stray from the manufactured
mainstream pop/rock scene garbage and go back to the basics where
real music and talent came from. Scott and Brandon then met Jay
through a mutual friend and there began the early development
of the band known as Helicopter Pilot. They began rocking out
in Scott's basement, but noticed something was missing. No, not
Brandon's intelligence, something that they just couldn't place.
Jay finally recognized it and decided to call longtime friend
Joe Donohue and ask him if was interested in joining a rock revolution.
Joe accepted and brought to the table the missing link that the
three band mates were searching for.
Helicopter Pilot was now complete. You can now see them play frequently
all around the Buffalo area, including such places as: Limerick's,
Pokey Joe's, Club Paradise, Coyotes', Mickey Rats, and more. Led
Zeppelin, The Beatles, Aerosmith, The Doors, the Rolling Stones,
and all the rest of the Gods of Rock had influenced all of them
heavily and motivated them to get out and destroy the manufactured
garbage and rid the world of the phrase "Rock Is Dead". And what
better tribute to pay to these gods than to learn their music
and redistribute it back to the people who still believe Rock
and Roll is alive and well and will never die.
