Canberra proto-punk-cum-metal band Pilots of Baalbek have released their second album, “By The Seat Of Our Pants”, on happening label Outtaspace and you night want cock an ear to what they're doing.
Said to be “a groovy platter of ‘70s-style space rock, punk, heavy metal, boogie and glam”, the LP references Hawkwind, The Sweet, New York Dolls, AC/DC, Stooges and Motorhead. Big call but you can judge for yourself by this filmclip for "Cargo Cult" by Mike Foxall (Neptune Power Federation, Nancy Vandal, The Fizz.)
The vinyl is limited to 150 copies and is flying out of Outtaspace’s online shop here. CD and digital fans can go to Bandcamp.
With a history in underground bands like Alchemist, Levitation Hex, Pagan Babies, Contrary Mary, Pod People, Looking Glass, Frozen Planet and Cell Block 69, Pilots of Baalbek are hitting Sydney, Canberra and Woy Woy.
