Gig roundup: I'm Not a Pilot takes off with fine EP
I'm Not a Pilot officially releases its debut EP with a Miramar Theater gig on Friday, June 5. The disc -- handsomely packaged and sonically sound -- features five melodic bursts that are notable (especially among local music) for its lack of guitars. Instead, these at times epic, at times tender, songs are constructed around frontman Mark Glatzel's piano and voice and Peter Thomas' cello work.
