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.

Silversun Pickups + Sacramento

Silversun Pickups touched down at Quarry Park Amphitheater in June 2025, delivering a stripped-down set that leaned on the murky, propulsive side of their catalog. They opened with "Mean Spirits," a track that showed off their knack for building tension through repetition, then moved into "Cannibal"—one of those songs that demonstrates why the band's guitar work has always been about texture over flash. "Latchkey Kids" closed out the evening, a choice that felt like a nod to the band's earlier work and the kind of song that sticks with you after the crowd thins out. It wasn't a sprawling show, but it hit hard in the way Silversun Pickups always do—economical, deliberate, and leaving you wanting more.
