A couple of nights ago I went to a taping of the Last Call with Carson Daly show (eat a cheeseburger already Carson!) to see the Silversun Pickups. The whole experience was very Hollywood and made me feel uncomfortable in my own skin, but was totally worth it for the mini-concert the Silversun Pickups put on. They are the musical guest all next week on the show (02/27 - 03/02 on NBC) and ended up playing eight songs at the taping. Here's the set-list:
1. Lazy Eye
2. Rusted Wheel
3. Little Lover's So Polite
4. Kissing Families (* from "Pikul" EP)
5. Well Thought Out Twinkles
6. Future Foe Scenarios
7. Sci-Fi Lullaby (*hidden track from "Pikul" EP)
8. Common Reactor
The band just hit the road this week and will be pretty much playing every night until Coachella. Having seen them live a number of times AND having heard them do a Live at LG Acoustic Session I can tell you that you don't want to miss them when they're in a town near you. They’ll be headlining some shows and also opening for Snow Patrol and OK Go on others. Here are the dates:
