GST x The Rio Theatre Presents: Silversun Pickups Tenterhooks Tour

With Special Guest Hannah Cole A sense of urgency drives Silversun Pickups. The GRAMMY® Award-nominated Los Angeles quartet create and perform with eloquence and intensity all at once. Guitars may restlessly roar and rumble, only to be reined in by the spell of a saccharine melody or a honeyed hook. This push-and-pull has catapulted the group—Brian Aubert [vocals, guitar], Nikki Monninger [bass, vocals], Christopher Guanlao [drums], and Joe Lester [keys]—out of a crowded and competitive local scene and into the wide open space of some of the world’s biggest stages. They’ve thrived as one of this century’s most consistent and quietly impactful rock bands. Their full-length debut, Carnavas [2006], went Gold and spawned the Platinum staple “Lazy Eye.” On its heels, they logged two back-to-back Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200 with Swoon [2009]—featuring the Gold-certified “Panic Switch”—and Neck of the Woods [2012].
