I just got back from a show by the Silversun Pickups and I sincerely feel like I'm going to look back on this day and be happy that I saw them in such a tiny little club.
it's a rare event when I hear a band that makes me freak out. I think the last time I felt this way was the first time I heard Modest Mouse - This is a Long Drive....
if you haven't heard them, they are being compared to early Smashing Pumpkins/My Bloody Valentine. although their influences seem obvious, the coolest thing for me is how it's been melded together into something completely new and cool.
pure fucking genius.
christ....if this post makes me sound like an insane fanboy then so be it.
on a side note: I lost my $20 I took out of the ATM between the venue and the car. they took a tab at the bar, but I was still pissed. thankfully, right before the Pickups came on I found a $10 on the ground.
