After starting from scratch in April 2012, Pilot Records now boasts six Adelaide-based artists – Oisima, Ride Into The Sun, Urtekk, Question Question, Daemon and No Birds – and has enjoyed growing success with each release.
To celebrate their first festival season, Pilot Records have teamed up with SoundPound.net and Arcade Lane to create their own mini-festival, PilotFest 2013.
Held on Sat Feb 23 from 8pm at Grenfell St’s pop-up venue Arcade Lane, PilotFest is also a registered event for SLAM Day (Save Live Australia’s Music), a day dedicated to getting involved in the live music scene to ensure its future viability. The whole city will be lit up with live music on the day – check out the other acts registered to play here.
The first line-up for PilotFest sees five of the six Pilot Records acts on the bill – renowned beat producer, Oisima, shoegaze/psyche act, Ride Into The Sun, electronic band, Urtekk, live house trio, Question Question and Pilot Record’s newest inclusion, No Birds.
