![]() Entitled as Swoon, it touched the stores in spring 2009. This could be one of the reasons why they made their fans wait for the subsequent album for two years and a half. The band seemed to like playing live much more than recording in the studio. In 2007, the group kept touring actively and collecting new recruiters for their considerable army. Silversun Pickups closed the so much good 2006 year giving a joint concert with the established Australian rockers Wolfmother. Carnavas saw light in the second half of 2006 and was a good seller, mostly thank to the two strong single, Lazy Eye, and Well Thought Out Twinkles. The first experience of the studio labor brought brilliant results. ![]() The tours packed the schedule tightly yet did not keep the group from making their debut long player. Their performances were nice to watch and listen to. By then, the musicians found faith in themselves and their future and showed no signs of fear or uneasiness on the stage. After that, Silversun Pickups could not but go away from home and show what they were to a wider range of listeners. The record received a warm welcome from the audience and a multitude of praiseful reviews from experienced critics. ![]() This one included live versions of six songs that were chosen as the public favorites and therefore practiced splendidly by that moment. As late as in 2005, they finally signed up an agreement with Dangerbird Records and released their debut EP, Pikul, shortly afterwards. The band polished their skills playing regularly on the stage and looking rather reluctant to go to the studio. No matter how good they were, Silversun Pickups seemed enormously unconfident to leave their home city of Los Angeles. Nevertheless, they were talented and knew their craft, which granted the group hardcore fans from the very start. Aubert, the singer, felt uneasy before the microphone and in front of many eyes, while the other members did seem inspired by the energy of the music they were playing. It is worth mentioning that in the beginning the performances of the fresher were far from a good show. It was not a long time before some people started comparing the young outfit with the legendary Smashing Pumpkins, which put even greater weight of responsibility on the shoulders of the musicians. Having called the band the puzzling Silversun Pickups phrase, the participants only wanted to play music for their own fun and for those who would come to watch them. They did not pursue big goals at that moment. until one day the musicians came to an idea of building up a new group. They would meet many times at various concerts in L.A. All of them had known each other long before the launching of this project as they used to share the same stage playing for different bands. The lineup was comprised by vocalist and guitarist Brian Aubert, basist and vocalist Nikki Monninger, drummer Christopher Guanlao and keyboardist Joe Lester. The curiously named band Silversun Pickups was assembled in Los Angeles, California, in 2000.
