Hessian is excited to present Semifinalists at our most intimate gig yet - City Screen Basement Bar on 6th June. The guys promise a blinding show, featuring an awesome new light show! NME described their live show as "a brilliantly bonkers confection: like vomiting up a Ferrari, a gram of coke and a missing child all at once." This one should not be missed for anything!

BBC Radio Bristol Introducing (Bristol Uncovered)





May 3 2008 9:58 AM

Hi Whole Sky Monitor,

Thanks for sending the album, it's quite brilliant. Sorry about the delay in playing it on the show but we played "N.O." on Bristol Uncovered this Saturday morning on BBC Radio Bristol. You can still hear it anytime this week using the on line "Listen Again" feature on the BBC i-Player, there’s a link to it from our profile.

Happy Dynamic Living!

Apr 30 2008 2:10 PM

Hey there Whole Sky Monitor - hope you are all well.

We have a new song up, "Dogs" - a chilling tale of canine revenge. Unusually for a My Pilot song, it is quite up-tempo and even features a discernible tune. Check it out if you get a spare 3 minutes 40 seconds.

Cheers!
