Silversun Pickups - Biography

10-04-2009 08:32 | 0 reaction(s) | add reply
Brian Aubert (guitar/vocals), Nikki Monninger (bass), Christopher Guanlao (drums), and Joe Lester (keyboards) comprise the swarthy indie rock stylings of Silversun Pickups. The quartet's textured melodies capture the hypnotic dream pop threads of My Bloody Valentine and pop bitter sweetness of Earlimart, and such a blend has wowed their native L.A. since 2005.

Silversun Pickups issued their debut release, the six-song Pikul EP that same year while shared show dates with the likes of Brendan Benson, Dead Meadow, Two Gallants, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club followed into 2006.
Produced by Dave Cooley (Rolling Blackouts, Citizen King, Smash Mouth), their full-length debut Carnavas, arrived in July. The group got the word out with some intesive international touring throughout 2006 and 2007, supporting OK Go and Snow Patrol in the US and Foo Fighters and Kaiser Chiefs in the UK and Europe. Their second full length, Swoon, hit the shelves in 2009 and made a strong showing with its first single "Panic Switch." Also out in 2009 was the five track sampler, Connect Set.
