Hire: Silversun Pickups
Silversun Pickups is an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 2000. The band’s lineup consists of Brian Aubert (vocals, guitar), Nikki Monninger (bass, vocals), Christopher Guanlao (drums), and Joe Lester (keyboards). Known for their atmospheric soundscapes, dynamic instrumentation, and Aubert’s distinctively emotive vocals, Silversun Pickups has garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
Brian Aubert and Nikki Monninger first met while attending a party in Los Angeles in 1994. They later reconnected and formed Silversun Pickups in 2000, recruiting Christopher Guanlao and original drummer Jack Kennedy. The band’s name is derived from a liquor store located across the street from Aubert’s house, called Silverlake Liquors, where they would often buy their supplies before rehearsals.
In 2005, Silversun Pickups released their debut EP, “Pikul,” which helped to generate buzz within the Indie rock scene. Their breakthrough came with their debut full-length album, “Carnavas,” released in 2006. The album featured the hit singles “Lazy Eye” and “Well Thought Out Twinkles,” which received significant airplay on alternative rock radio stations and garnered critical praise for their infectious melodies and ethereal guitar-driven sound.
