Silversun Pickups and Coast Arcade

I will never miss a chance to see Silversun Pickups live!! Not just because I have a major crush on their singer, Brian Aubert, but because they just rock out on stage!! Nikki, their bassist, looked elegant as always. She always seems to wear such a stylish dress but I love how she's always jumping around on stage while still maintaining that girlish charm. Their drummer, Chris, has shiny, long black hair that thrashes around as he smashes on his drum set. Joe, their keyboardist, just looks like a laid back guy with his plaid shirt and his fancy fedora. Brian exudes the indie rocker look with his skinny jeans, boots, and leather jacket. His hair swoops across to the right side of his face, until mid set where it's dripping off sweat. He never stays on one area of the stage for long, unless he is on the mic. His vocals range from soft and a bit raspy to him bellowing his heart out. A good example of this would be their song "Lazy Eye," which is their song I first fell in love with. Brian has a bit of a feminine quality to his voice but that's just one of the things that really drew me to them! "Panic Switch" was the song that got the audience really going! It's intense and just gets you moving along with them on stage! Nikki's backup vocals is so beautifully haunting in it! I get chills just thinking about it now! Not only are they fantastic musicians, but they are so much fun to hang out with after their show! Nikki was super nice, Joe is as laid back as he seems on stage, Chris was a pleasure to talk to, and getting to spend time with Brian was the highlight of it all!! He saw my purse that said "I <3 NERDS" and said to me "I'm a nerd." So we had a long talk about his time at Harry Potter world and we sang songs from the movie Labyrinth together! It was just a few days prior to my birthday and nothing will top this birthday experience for me! Not to mention it's the second time he gave me a kiss on the cheek for my birthday!

Such a good time!!!
A great band to see live
Great atmosphere, great vibe, great songs.

Well worth spending a night catching Coast Arcade live, you won't regret it for a moment!
