Kosmic Sound Musicians Forum

The Upton Pilots definitive blend of 60's influenced garage rock,
powerpop and subtle psychedelia as well as their explosive energy and stagecraft have established them as one of Perth's most popular young bands.

Unfortunately, our inaugural drummer Liam Young has left the group in order to concentrate on other musical interests. So obviously this means that we're hoping to find a new drummer as soon as possible.

We ask that please, only serious applicants need apply.

Must dig the whole 60's scene / image

Must be 100% committed & available for rehearsals / recording sessions / shows atleast once per week.

Must dig the music, style & genre and have a genuine passion and desire to achieve success with this band.

Preferably aged between 14 - 19

We're fortunate enough to have a constant supply of gigs, whether they be all ages shows, high profile pub headline slots, or large private parties.
We've got management, a large network of industry supporters and fans around us, and the creative potential to achieve a lot of success from here on in. We've already recorded two successful independent singles and a promo EP, with a professional single & EP release on the cards for this summer!

Major stylistic & creative influences include but are not limited to:

The Beatles
The Who
Pink Floyd (1966-1979)
60's psychedelia
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
The White Stripes
The Velvet Underground
Cream
The Kinks
The Rolling Stones
early Weezer

Some drummers we dig:
Keith Moon,
Mitch Mitchell,
Ginger Baker,
Kenny Jones (The Small Faces),
Chris Cester (Jet)
& locally, Kev & Gumby (Tame Impala)
