LEGACY PILOTS with their first live performance ever

Steve Rothery, an extraordinary guitarist and friend of LEGACY PILOTS, is playing in Hamburg on 11 October. That in itself is a reason for great joy.

Another reason might be, that Legacy Pilots are the opening act with their first live performance ever.

And if this is not enough, our friend FINALLY GEORGE  will do the lead vocals.

Does this sounds good?

AUGUST 3rd 2024

Here is the final video from our latest album.

I believe it's a worthy conclusion to our film series.

Thanks to Todd, Lars, Ricky, and Liza for their extraordinary contributions to this composition.

Enjoy watching !

May 24th

Hello everyone,
today is the day - THRU THE LENSE IS RELEASED!

Available at:

Thru the Lens

And to celebrate the release, the first full video is available on YouTube today:

THE PROFESSOR AND ME

The Professor and Me is probably the most progiest track we've ever made. And Todd and I are really, really proud of this track.
Fun fact: Todd played and recorded this track on the first try and in one go.
Additional info: Thru the Lense will be available on the digital platforms like spotify, iTune and Amzon from May 31st.

Today we have released our first single from the upcoming album HELIX on all common streaming services. 

The single version of TRUE SPIRIT is pretty different from the album version.

So even if you have heard this song by the time of the album release, there is something new to discover in the album version.

Here comes the latest update:
The last days were once again marked by a lot of detail work. What will soon be delivered to the pressing plant, has then existed forever. What is on a CD remains and of course you do not want to have not the slightest technical error on it.

Today we like to share the back of the cover of our new album and thus also the track list.

February 19th

One step closer:
Yesterday we had a very intense nine-hour session in the mastering studio.

A lot of detail work but we think it was worth it.

We will listen carefully to the results over the next few days and then go into finalization.

February 10th

We’re excited to share with you the artwork and the title of our new album, coming end of March:

October 9th

As so often in life, plans are the idea of how things should go. But then things turn out differently.
And with our new album it is no different. Actually, we wanted to be much further, but it is difficult when commitments can not be kept or illnesses come in between.
Nevertheless, there was progress and we had promised to post something from time to time.
This is a small excerpt of our 17 minute suite, and based on the pictures we can confirm, that Todd played through the whole piece in one go. And of course as a first take. Hats off to one of the bests in his guild.

Here is the link to the video:

April 22nd

We plan to share every month a little video from the recordings sessions until the new album is ready for release.
What you will hear is far from being ready. Some instruments might be missing or will be replaced, of course it is not finally mixed nor mastered but it could give you a certain impression what is it all about.
Today we start with a drum recording session of Marco Minnemann.

April 2nd

Hello everyone,

One or the other question has already come up and we don't want to make a big secret out of it,

but yes, there will be at least one new Legacy Pilots album.

With us will be definitely Todd Sucherman, Marco Minnemann, Pete Trewavas, Steven Rothery,

John Mitchell, Lars, Finally George and many other "usual suspects".

The writing of new music has begun and some recording has already taken place.

However, there is still a long way to go and if asked for a release date we would roughly say end of this year, beginning of next year.

We really looking forward to our next production.

December 21st

Dear folks,
Another strange year is coming to an end, another year with hopes of finally getting rid of the pandemic, a year in which we had to learn that not all hopes come true.
For the pilots, someting in 2021 will nevertheless be remembered in a positive way .

The reactions to our latest album are so positive that we just want to say thank you. Especially thanks to all who bought our album as a CD or digitally, because that allows us to keep the project cost-covering alive in the future.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year from Legacy Pilots!

How time flies...

Three weeks ago today we released THE Penrose Triangle.

And it's time to say thank you to everyone who has supportet us. 
 

Here is the link to our latest video, featuring the amazing Marco Minnemann:
SHADOWPLAY

October 28th

Today we release our third video from the new album. Wonderful drumming by Marco Minnemann, a great bass by Pete Trewavas and great vocals by my best friend Finally George.
 

A Change of Mind

October 22nd

It's done... Penrose has just been released. Thanks to all the wonderful friends who made this album so special.
At the same time we officially release our next video for the new album:

Have fun watching it!

October 8th

We're counting down… two weeks to go…

To make the time not too long, today we release the official teaser video for "The Penrose Triangle”.
And there are a few excerpts from the new album to listen to:

September 24th

DONE!

It feels a little odd, but the matter of fact is, that the last track from the new album has been returned from the mastering studio. Composition, recording, arranging, mixing and mastering... A year and a half of work is finished. At least as far as the music is concerned. Now the “real” fun stuff begins... all the paperwork, registering tracks, preparing DDP for the pressing plant, finalising print documents... the list goes on.
If nothing goes wrong in the CD production later on, the release date at the end of October is safe.
We have made a lot of film material while we worked on the  album (as visible in the collage) which will end up in several music videos.
All pilots looking forward to this release and can’t wait for your reaction.

August 29th

8 out of 9
E x c i t e m e n t !

This week the majority of songs from the new album has been mastered.
Friedeman has done a terrific job.
Chances are good, that we can stick with the planned release date end of October.
We're Looking forward to that ;-)

July 1st

A little update:
We doin' progress and right now we're

working on a quite large piece,

called  "A CHANGE OF MIND".
 

We will have some more news, coming soon ;-)

March 27th

Things are moving forward. And Todd has brought his invaluable creativity to this piece. Have fun.

Video excerpt

January 30th 2021

We are very happy to announce the first 50 seconds of audio, recorded for the third album.
Of course the album is far from being finished, but we think this little excerpt sounds already promising.
Drum recording session

Following our graphic announcement that we can expect something new from the Pilots in summer 2021, we would like to give you a bit more info.

Not only the process of writing new material has taken place, we have had already several recording sessions. The results so far are more than promising. Summer sounds a bit vague for a release date, but with several months in front of us with many more recordings, mixing and mastering a more definite schedule is impossible.

Nevertheless, we're going full steam ahead and we thought we share the good news. Attached here is a little screen shot from an actual session and if you spot the tracks on the left, you can already discover who again is on board

December 23rd

Dear Pilots friends,
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Please take care of yourselves and stay healthy in the new year.
You will hear from us again in January and we think we will have good news. 
Until then,
Legacy Pilots

October 8th

Dear friends,

Today we release our latest and at the same time the last video from our AVIATION album.

"Innocent" is a mid-tempo piece with many calm sections. It's nevertheless worth watching, especially if you look how elegant Todd's play in this is. The fills he's playing are just brilliant. Which is also true for Lars' bass performance. Simply wonderful - even though he is not in the picture.

Thanks for all the support we've got!

INNOCENT - The video

August 13th

WIDE WIDE WORLD single will be released today

Hey folks,

We’re happy to announce the release of our latest single “WIDE WIDE WORLD” on iTunes today as well as the corrosponding video.

Beside the wonderful performances of John Mitchell and Marco Minnemann, the video features also spectacular drone filming of our friend Ricky Garcia, that is worth watching.

Enjoy!
