Live at LG: Silversun Pickups - Well Thought Out Twinkles

Live at LG: Silversun Pickups - Well Thought Out Twinkles

Silversun Pickups have really blown up over last year, what with their single getting heavy national radio play and even making an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman. So we were blown away when frontman Brian Aubert said he’d come by the LG Studios to play us some songs. We saw first hand why everyone is talking about this band…one of the best Studio Sessions we have ever had!

 

Live at LG: Silversun Pickups - Shadowplay

Live at LG: Silversun Pickups - Shadowplay

Silversun Pickups singer Brian Aubert played a couple of covers for us, but this one was our favorite. It’s a pretty amazing version of a Joy Division song that’s NOT “Love Will Tear Us Apart.”

 

Live at LG: Midnight Movies - Patient Eye

Live at LG: Midnight Movies - Patient Eye

Midnight Movies are without a doubt one of the best bands in the Los Angeles area. We somehow tricked them to come to the LG Studios and play us some of that good times music. Channeling the Velvet Underground never sounded (or looked) so good.

 

Live at LG: The Slip - Children of December

Live at LG: The Slip - Children of December

The SLIP are a trio from Boston and Montreal who sound like there’s at least 6 people in the band. When they were in out studio we kept having to double check and make sure there were only three of them. It’s true. Anyway, they came in and treated us to an acoustic-y rendition of their single called “Children of December.”

Street To Nowhere are originally from Oakland, CA, so they know what it’s like to be in the shadow of something (San Francisco…get it?), but show here that their songs and talent are second to none.

Daniel from As Tall As Lions came by the LG Studios and sang us a ridiculously amazing version of the Holiday classic "O Holy Night." Get ready for goose bumps.

 

Live at LG: Sparta - Taking Back Control

Live at LG: Sparta - Taking Back Control

Two of the boys from Sparta hit the ghetto=fabulous LG Studios and treated us to an early morning acoustic jam of "Taking Back Control." Pretty amazing to hear it all stripped down.

 

Live at LG: Landon Pigg - Eggshells

Live at LG: Landon Pigg - Eggshells

Landon Pigg brought his guitar over to our studio and played a couple of intimate songs for us that we still can’t get out of our heads. This is the first song he played, called “Eggshells,” and look for more on the site soon.

Live at LG: The Finalist

The Finalist dropped by the studio very early in the morning to play a song for us. Musicians don’t like mornings, so that goes to show you the dedication of these lads. Keep an eye open for the floating mic…it’s awesome.
