Bio
...... .. .. .. .. .... ..The Star Fighter Pilot.. is Martin Bryant from Manchester, England. Fusing noisy, dirty electronic pop with rock drums and a witty singer songwriter ethic, he bridges the gap between accessible pop and experimental electronica. .. Influenced by people as diverse as Beck, Super Furry Animals, Chris T-T and Of Montreal; he makes music using his laptop, a bunch of computer programs and an overactive imagination. .. His first two EPs, ‘Feeding & Chaining’ and ‘Alkaline Maisonette’ gained glowing reviews from the likes of Drowned In Sound, High Voltage magazine and Manchestermusic.co.uk. .. In 2007 he released a 7” split EP alongside The Colt .45s on Leaving Home Records featuring ‘Another Penny’ and ‘Drunk With You’. Some nefarious fellow then shared ‘Another Penny’ as part of an unauthorised ‘Indie Playlist’ compilation album which has since been downloaded thousands of times and gained The Star Fighter Pilot fans around the world. .. Playing a steady stream of gigs The Star Fighter Pilot has built up a strong live reputation. He sometimes appears onstage with choreographed dancers and has supported acts as diverse as Bis, Dragonette, Jeremy Warmsley and Scouting For Girls. .. The ‘Kingdom Hearts’ EP was released by Filthy Little Angels as a download on www.filthylittleangels.co.uk on the 25th of May 2008. ..Click here.. to head to their site to download it! This will be followed by a contribution to a double 7” EP of one-minute-long songs (again through Filthy Little Angels) in the summer. .. ....Ironic he may be now, iconic is something we could be using to describe The Star Fighter Pilot as being in years to come......- Drowned In Sound 8/10 review .... ....The confident acumen of Bryant suggests an oh-so-very-nearly finished product; though with that said, you suspect he could put out an album right now that would better its rivals.

10 of 1315MoreHi!


It’s been far too long since I last said hello and so much has happened I thought it about time we said did.
We’ve changed a lot, now we are an “UltraModern, post-electro rock, post-nu rave behemoth where Muse and Mansun meet a Massive Attack with Duran Duran pop sensibilities, louder guitars, and a stunning female front person/guitar virtuoso”, or so we have been told.
I’d love to know what you’ve been up to since we disappeared into the dark damp studio cave, let us know how it’s going, I’m always up for a chat!
Be good, and if you can’t be good, be lucky ;-)

Hello,

We thought you might be interested in this lovely gig we're putting on:
Would be great to see you there. xx
Und dann, next week……
Experimental music from across the UK.
Blood Moon, Wings & Claws, G. Fisher and Pnak play live.
Blood Moon album launch party.
Saturday 25th October, The Britons Protection, Manchester.
Hey Martin!
Was really great to see you again last night both on stage and in person!
Love your new track "The Invisible Invasion"; only you could write a song about robot-pigs & flying cars that well!
:-)
Hope to see you again sometime soon.
All the best,
Sara!
