Tommy and the High Pilots

Tommy and the High Pilots find themselves comfortable in throwback music, whether it be 90s alt rock, old R&B or indie. They've decided to cut the shackles of a 9-5 desk and live the glorious lifestyle of trying to make it in the music world; endless touring, no sleep and $3 dinners. By their own accord, they're influenced by the last 5 decades of music. That's a rather large plate to hold yourself accountable for. But after listening to their music, I can actually hear some tidbits from the years before. I mean, you won't hear some klezmer or techno, but it is enjoyable, in that "I-don't-regret-paying-10-bucks-for-this-show" type feeling.Beau Dowling sanjose.com
