About Me

The Jump Pilots were a band who played locally round Guildford and London from early 2006 {March 15th 1st gig at the star Guildford}to February 2008 {last gig 24th February The Boileroom Guildford}. Members included: Alex Winter-Guitars B.V's Stuart Smith-Drums B.V's Steve Samuels-Bass William Porteous-Guitar vocals James Sacha-Bass B.V's Although the band never hit thier stride, radio plays in Dresden and Frieburg gave them some spark. X-fm first played "Dennis Wise" in the late summer of 2006. Dennis Wise was the bands most popular song. The "opus demo" was recorded in July of 2005 with Mark Pearne {The le Brocks}filling in on bass and some guitar parts. Holly Czuchnicki also did some backing vocals on "Dennis Wise". "Brothers in bangkok" was the "other song" that accompanied Dennis Wise.Songs the band had: I used to know Josie The Joker Brother of bangkok Dennis Wise Dance with me The groove song Wasting all my time {How fucking relevant?} Best laid plans Private army Look away Doing Alright It isn't easy FriendsWilliam is said to be seaking new musicians to carry on but under a different name. 2008 onwards......
