About Silversun Pickups
Silversun Pickups formed in Los Angeles in 2000 and spent their early years building a reputation through constant touring and increasingly confident songwriting. Their 2003 debut Pikul introduced their wall-of-sound approach—dense guitars and Brian Aubert's soaring vocals creating something between shoegaze texture and indie rock hooks. Carnavas, their 2006 breakthrough, solidified the formula with Lazy Eye becoming their signature track, a song that builds from whisper-quiet verses into massive choruses. They've maintained that balance of accessibility and experimentalism across albums like Swoon and Necked, never quite becoming arena-level famous but never needing to either. What keeps them relevant is restraint paired with ambition—they know when to pull back, when to let a riff breathe, and when to just overwhelm everything with layers. They're the kind of band that rewards close listening without demanding it.
Their shows are patient and immersive. Crowds stand still through the builds, then move when the payoff hits. The sound is meticulous—Brian Aubert works the dynamics like he's got a physical connection to every guitar note. No thrashing around, just focus and precision. People leave sweaty from intensity rather than dancing.
Known for Lazy Eye, Well Thought Out Twinkles, Neck of the Woods, Sweetness Follows, Growing
Silversun Pickups + Oklahoma City
Silversun Pickups rolled through Oklahoma City on September 25, 2024, taking the stage at Tower Theatre with the kind of measured intensity they've perfected over two decades. The Los Angeles band brought their atmospheric alternative rock to a crowd that got what it came for—those layered guitars, Brian Aubert's restrained vocals cutting through walls of sound. They worked through their catalog with the patience of a band that knows their strength isn't in flash but in the slow build, the way distortion can feel like weather. Tower Theatre's intimate setup meant you could actually feel the weight of their sound rather than just hear it wash over you.
