When you have the rug pulled out from under you, either you can lie on the ground and complain about your bare floors, or you can regain your feet, brush yourself off and begin redecorating. Tom Cantillon chose the latter in 2007 when his band, Holden, unexpectedly split after five years, jumping coasts from Santa Barbara to New York City and spending the next year soaking in his new surroundings while filling his songbook.
“I was somewhat lost, only in the sense that I wasn’t sure which direction to head with my music,” Cantillon recalls. “New York was such a different world, being from the beach in Santa Barbara, that I naturally had a change of influence if only by the change in scenery and culture.”
Now, freshly inspired with a slew of new songs bouncing around his head, Cantillon started redecorating. Enter longtime friend and fellow Santa Barbarian Steve Libby (bass), Cantillon’s younger brother Michael (electrics, acoustics and keyboards) and California transplant Matt Palermo (drums). “Holden was based on a group of friends who wanted to play music together. Simple enough,” Cantillon says. “That’s our credo in Pilot world as well.” And thus, Tommy and The High Pilots was born.
The band immediately went to work on Everynight, recording and producing their debut album on their own in 2008.
