The band prides itself on its faithful sonic renditions of selections from the Pilots' unparalleled catalog, that resonate with casual and die-hard fans alike.

Two friends and former bandmates during the 90’s -2000’s New York City rock scene, guitarist/vocalist Tommy Tuccillo and bass player Jeff Mackey, after not being in touch for many years, miraculously reconnected in the Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania. After getting together and playing some of their old songs and covers, rediscovered their songwriting style. Feeling lucky, they put an ad on Craigslist and found another recent NYC transplant and former rock scenester, drummer Ian Kramer. Accepting the laws of the universe, the three of them got together and created an expansive sound that represents that creative and artistic era of rock and experimental music in NYC. And the result is . . .
