I'm Not a Pilot at the CCC

With their blend of rock and classical music, I'M NOT A PILOT appeals to an impressively diverse fan base of both young and old. Perhaps that is what happens when a band does a mash-up of a Radiohead hit single and Johann Sebastian Bach's 'Prelude to Solo Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major as they do on their cover of 'Creep.' The band features Mark Glatzel (vocals and piano), Peter Thomas, cellist for the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra (electric cello), Steve Vorass, (drums), and Adrian Esguerra (bass guitar and vocal back-up). This is perhaps how it would sound if you split your chest open and let your feelings ooze out in a river of hot molten lava. The bold and mellow waxing of the cello gives the sound a richness unlike most rock bands. - Milwaukee Magazine Milwaukee indie rock band I'm Not a Pilot takes its name from front man Mark Glatzel's musing on the idea of the control - or lack of it - one has over life. Mark often alludes to being a passenger on a plane knowing the destination of his journey, though uncertain of what the route will bring him through.
