Gig roundup: I'm Not a Pilot takes off with fine EP
I'm Not a Pilot officially releases its debut EP with a Miramar Theater gig on Friday, June 5. The disc -- handsomely packaged and sonically sound -- features five melodic bursts that are notable (especially among local music) for its lack of guitars. Instead, these at times epic, at times tender, songs are constructed around frontman Mark Glatzel's piano and voice and Peter Thomas' cello work.

Stukenberg is a refreshing musical mash-up
East Troy's Stukenberg is a quintet of musicians employing twice as many instruments, which in concert creates music that is refreshing as it is accessible. We caught up with bass / maracas player Matt Glatzel to chat about "Mountain of Pieces" and a few upcoming spring shows in Milwaukee.
