Amber Pilot started summer 08 while the band I was in was stuck in rehearsal hell! I've played guitar since I was about 5 or 6 but for a huge chunk of that time there weren't really any traditional bands that caught my attention, I prefered tunes with big beats. So I figured out ways of creating beats and whole tunes on just the guitar, they're all works in progress and I'm still learning how to create the beats that I crave for (although plenty still escape my grasp). They're also slowly getting replaced as I get better at making layers of beats,vocal/samples etc are added and they're all done exactly as they would be live (they're all just one single recorded track). To be fair they actually sound a lot better live, although I guess it would be worrying if they didn't, but we're getting closer to capturing them onto mp3 properly.
We started getting gigs early 09 and have been lucky enough to continue getting offers, the more gigs the better we are. More recently Elaine X (check her shit out on her myspace page) has started singing on the tracks (will be in the player soon) allowing the Amber Pilot sound to expand even more!
