In August 2006 Idiot Pilot was featured on Mark Hoppus’ now defunct internet radio show HiMyNameIsMark, and the duo contributed this little gem which is a parody of the Ying Yang Twins song “Wait (The Whisper Song)“.

Song is in a .zip file w/ cover art

Interesting nuggets:

1. Idiot Pilot has a new touring drummer, and they have also decided to add a bassist. It was very interesting to see a full 4 piece at work considering in the earlier days Idiot Pilot played live with only Mike and Daniel while relying on the computer to fill in the rest.

2. During rehearsal the band would mute the audio feed while practicing new material, but it was suggested that if you stay around until the end of the week, they may practice new material openly to fans. That would be the first time fans got a real listen into anything off their upcoming album. Exciting stuff!

The biggest fun of the night didn’t come until after rehearsal ended when fans stayed after and jumped over to idiotfans.net’s justin.tv page and continued talking and getting to know each other, along with trading Idiot Pilot rarities. It was a pretty awesome night.

We laughed, we cried, things even got frisky. People got engaged. It was a truly amazing time and we plan on trying to make it happen again tonight after Idiot Pilot’s rehearsal. Hope to see you there!

RELEASE:
Idiot Pilot Launch New Beta Website, Confirm SXSW Date.

This week Bellingham, WA based post-hardcore electronica band Idiot
Pilot re-launched their online presence with a beta version of
their new website (www.idiotpilot.com) on Friday, February 19th. In a
message to be posted on
the site Lead singer Michael Harris stated that the band will “be
updating as frequently as we can, and will eventually be doing a
complete overhaul to satiate your visual and auditory needs.” He also
went on to say, “It has been a long journey, and many paths have been
traversed. Thank you for continuing to listen in.” The new site includes a
blog style homepage with up to date information from the band itself,
an extensive discography, recent photos and much more.

This comes on the heels of the confirmation of their South By South
West (SXSW) Music Conference Showcase show in Austin, TX. They will be
playing Wednesday, March 17th, the opening night of the music portion
of the conference, at Jamie’s with UK bands My Tiger My Timing,
Middleman and Doll and The Kicks. More information is listed below.

More announcements will be made over the coming weeks in regards to
Idiot Pilot’s appearance at SXSW as well as information about new
material that the band is currently working on.

This album sounds like it’s going to be amazing, and much different from the first.

I’ll keep you updated on more info as it becomes available.

Sexy!

The site features a post by Michael Harris of Idiot Pilot welcoming everyone to the new site he also announces that Idiot Pilot will be showcased at SXSW this year in Austin, Texas. Pretty exciting stuff.

I would love to go just to see Idiot Pilot as it is within reasonable range of my hometown, but SXSW currently doesn’t allow one day passes, and tickets to the entire music portion or the conference are running $700+ at this point in time. Either way, it’s still an amazing opportunity for Idiot Pilot to reach new ears and become better networked.

I’m excited to hear and see more as they hopefully will be offering more to see and hear in the near future!

Stay tuned.

Photographer Hollie Huthman did an excellent job at capturing some great moments from that night and I thank her for allowing me to use her images here on the site. Make sure to check out her Flickr page for more great work.

I’m pretty stoked, (though I can’t go) because this will be the first time in a long while since Idiot Pilot have played together. As of late there has been a lot of quietness coming from the band . I can comfortably tell you guys, and it may disappoint some, that there will be no music off their upcoming album played at this show, but I’m sure the event will rock as always even despite that.

—————————————-

Sidenote: Daniel is planned to present a few awards at the show tonight!

Will you be able to make it to the show?

It makes me feel the need to reflect on my own site here, and what it’s fate may be in the future. I too have had thoughts of closing the doors here at Idiot Fans due to a drop in interest from fans, and a lack of interaction from the band themselves. But for now we’ll remain up and running.

Bottom line: idiotpilot.co.uk was always truly the greater fansite, and I was really looking forward to that redesign.
