INAP has also performed live on Milwaukee's 91.7fm WMSE, 88.9fmWYMS, and 89.7 WUWM and has been featured in Milwaukee's INFO* Magazine,M:Milwaukee’s Lifestyle Magazine, Milwaukee Magazine, Shepherd Express Weekly,and On.Milwaukee.com.In November 2010, the classically-infused indie rock band released its first fulllength album, Need Money for Rocket Fuel, featuring the guest vocal talents of RaeCassidy, Leah Kowalewski from Crooked Keys, and award winning vocalist JeannaSalzer from the Jeanna Salzer Band (Milwaukee's Best Female Vocalist, ShepherdExpress 2009, 2010).I’m Not A Pilot’s success as one of Milwaukee’s major bands results somewhatfrom their unique instrumentation. The music can best be described as somethingyou’ve never heard before, encompassing a cross between Electro Pop and RockN’ Roll mixed with symphonic sounds and structure. All songs are written andconstructed around frontman Mark Glatzel's soaring vocals and intricate pianowork. Peter Thomas, cellist in the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, adds melodicand harmonic bursts of energy through his ‘guitar simulated’ electric cello playing.Adrian Esguerra, (bass) and Steve Vorass (drums) provide the driving rhythm thatfuels the entire sound of the quartet. According to Evan Rytlewski of the ShepherdExpress,"Glatzel's piano and Thomas' cello form the core of INAP's guitar-freesound, which finds a melodic middle ground between the piano-rock of radio actslike The Fray and Keane and the indie-pop symphonies of Sufjan Stevens and MattPond PA.”"I'm Not A Pilot is four musicians coalescing to reach a state of gestalt by exploringnew sonic territories,” writes Charles Nevsimal of INFO* Magazine, “and in doing so,they're charting a course to the stars."Future engagements include a 2011 Summerfest headlining performance on theCascio Groove Stage on July 1st, as well as appearances for River Rhythms andBastille Days, amongst many others.For more information, please visit www.imnotapilot.com.
