Zoo Pilot

Zoo Pilot is as much a concept as it is a band. Brad Paxton had been writing songs for years, both by himself and as a team with lyricist Jax Login. As time went on, he came to the realization that the songs he wrote with Login were often very different in tone and subject matter than when he'd write alone. Brad's music tended to a serious nature (heartbreak, depression) and possessed an often downbeat outlook, while the themes explored with his co-writer were often absurd, upbeat and at times borderline juvenile (a good thing according to Paxton). Wondering how he could reconcile these diverse musical approaches under one banner, he looked to heroes like Beck, the Kinks and Wilco as inspiration, feeling they were never content with confining their sound to just one style. Thus, the idea to simultaneously release two different sounding albums together was born. And while each record can be enjoyed on its own, they form a cohesive whole when experienced together. Zoo Pilot currently plays live shows in the Austin area with a four person lineup.
