BIO:
And the Story Goes.....
Great Western Pilots are a London based Rock n' Roll band that formed in the first quarter of 2008. The band comprises of 5 members, Richard Grisman (vocalist) a singer/songwriter with magnetic stage presence, Rami Madhon (lead/rhythm guitarist) the electrifying blues/rock guitarist, Simon Whittle (rhythm guitarist) off the cuff rock and rollist with flair, Milkha Lala (bassist) a innovative driving force on bass and finally Abe Ghory (drummer) the continuous heartbeat that demands attention from the back. GWP are currently touring the live music scene and are known for there heavy guitar driven songs and onstage theatrics.
The band are originally from a small suburb in South West London called 'Heston', a former farming village located near the M4. It's known as the birthplace of legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and former hometown to Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple. Much of there youth was spent delving into the live performances of 70's rock greats, listening to the latest rock album of choice, attending gigs, festivals anywhere were the buzz would take them. Rock n' Roll was the only game they played and it was the exact thing that brought them together.
At the end of 2007 the band started up a project called 'Band Needs Voice' to attract a singer. They instantly found what they we're looking for with Richard Grisman, a experienced lead singer with a powerful voice that complemented the hard-hitting style of the band. Now the band was complete they embarked on a vigorous rehearsal schedule, learning new songs and developing there own sound so that there music could get out there.
GWP have been touring the London circuit since the summer of '08. There goal is a simple one, to create a live sounding rock n' roll band that thrives by having tasty guitar hooks, blistering vocals and a thunderous rhythm section. They've also written, recorded and produced all of there own songs till now (all artwork and promotion is also done within the band). The band are currently working on new material for there second EP and are seeking management to help book gigs and promote in or around London, they also have future plans to tour other parts of the country.
VIVA LA GWP!
