About Meteor Pilots

Meteor Pilots bust out an original style that combines the humor of Barenaked Ladies with the catchy, sing-a-long quality of Maroon 5. When asked to describe their show in 1 word they responded: "FUNenergeticADDICTIVEunforgetableFUNNYuniqueHOOK-FILLEDguitar-drivenPOP/rock". OK, their music is better than their grammar. See them ...you'll have FUN!

About this user

When 3 St. Louis songwriters met through a web site posting several years ago they had no idea they would be BIGGER than the Beatles. But after adding a rhythm section they had 5 members and were definitely BIGGER. Not only that - they were taller and they weighed more.

Mix the classic power pop song craft of the Gin Blossoms with the roots musical elements of The Jayhawks and stir in a pinch of Barenaked Ladies humor for an idea of the unique Meteor Pilots sound. If you want to describe Meteor Pilots' music in 1 word... it would be: FUNenergeticADDICTIVEunforgetableFUNNYuniqueHOOK-FILLEDguitar-drivenPOP/rock.

That might actually be 2 words.

After meeting, the fun surfaced right away - their first song ("One Finger Wave") pokes fun at becoming famous. Going on-line to improve your girlfriend's attitude is the subject of "wwwkissmyass.com". The sing-a-long style and 3-part harmonies of "Walking Alone" make it truly infectious. The megalomaniac with a sarcastic wit ("Big, Big") and the heartfelt thank-you sung as "I'm Proud to Call You My Friend" showcase the band's diversity, ranging from hilarious to touching.

The five Meteor Pilots come from music backgrounds of jazz/rock (Denny, drummer), rock and country (Scott, gtr), a-capella (Eric, voice), rock/punk/praise (Jeff, bass), and "a van down by the river" (Gary, gtr). Their show combines sound, humor, 4-part harmonies, visual aids, jazz, genius, imagination, game show, celebrity, pop, magic, feats of strength, trivia, lasers - take all these ingredients ...multiply by 5 [and then exclude a lot of them]... and you have a Meteor Pilots show. (Bring extra shorts in case you soil yourself from the excitement.)

The Meteor Pilots currently have 20 original songs (60-90 minutes) and want to open for any compatible local or national bands. They are responsible, dependable (all over 25), serious about our music and recognize the importance of making the experience enjoyable for all - the business, the patrons and the band.
