Life Pilot are 5 friends from Adelaide, South Australia who play music together - and evidently, they live together... in what seems like a fairly unorthodox share-house, if their latest filmclip for new single Dark, Dark, Goose is to be believed! Look, their living arrangements and ability to not agree on whose turn it is to take the bins out may be fairly chaotic to say the least, but hey... they definitely succeed in their mission in life - write heavy angry fast songs and not conform to any trends or bullshit.
Oh - and they were just chosen to support Converge in Adelaide 13th March at Lion Arts Factory!
It’s this sincere honesty and ruthless disregard for convention that has forged Life Pilot's reputation as a unique and awe-inspiring act. Their music is carefully crafted and executed with masterful musicianship, but still maintaining a raw, unrelenting energy and all the brutality expected from their genre. Their live show is unparalleled. Known for their intense physical display, Life Pilot literally bleeds for their fans, leaving many broken stages, instruments and band members in their wake.
Enter new single 'Dark Dark Goose.' The track is out Friday March 8 in all digital platforms and streaming outlets - and can be obtained at ffm.to/lifepilot_darkdarkgoose.
Vocalist Angus Long says that Dark Dark Goose "...is essentially about letting the opinion or expectation(s) of others toward yourself cloud your thoughts and feelings to the point of losing your own. To only then wake up one day and realise the majority of the negative commentary is really quite untrue and unfounded to begin with. Its about losing ones ‘sanity’ if you will, and the journey of finding it once again in a world full of unrealistic expectations. The line ‘Stay home Jack’ is simply finding yourself (home) and making sure you stay there (sane)."
The clip for the song shows the quirkiness of the outfit and their living arrangements - and gets weird, REAL quick. Drummer Eli Green spoke about the clip and the idea that forged the final product. "The idea behind the clip was purely to do something lighthearted and funny. We were tired of seeing so many bands doing the same kind of video, we wanted to change it up. The drive of the song lent itself to a video tone that was a little more upbeat and less 'serious'. We loved the idea of the band in a housemate scenario, all arguing over responsibilities and eventually breaking down into an all out screaming match. The clip focuses on the dream that Will, the laziest housemate of all, has while the band debates whose turn it is to take out the bins. In it, he finds himself as a nonsensical hero, a lord of the Bin if you will, travelling across the land in search of a place to park his bin and lay down a sick riff."
Life Pilot has toured Australia multiple times in support of their numerous releases, sharing the stage with many legendary artists along the way. Every Time I Die, HELL YEAH, Norma Jean, Senses Fail, Kverletak & More, as well as performing at Soundwave Festival and showcasing at BIGSOUND.
