That feeling derives from the group’s searingly sumptuous music, sure, but it has a lot to do with knowing their rather humble origins and super-admirable raison d’être.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilversun Pickups, you see, rather than being just another fiercely determined young band willing to claw and scrap their way to the top of the rock heap, genuinely appear to be far more like a gang of real, true friends who happened, quite fortuitously, to meet as a result of their mutual love of — shock horror! — music, and who seem to enjoy each other’s company as much as they like playing their own brand of ravishing rock noise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd in fact, guitarist-singer Brian Aubert, bass player Nikki Monninger, drummer Christopher Guanlao and keyboardist Joe Lester are bona fide pals who’d played together or in mutual friends’ bands when they finally settled on a Silversun lineup and began playing shows at local clubs, which further broadened their innately formidable playing chops and established loving loyalties among a growing crop of seekers and sinners.\u003cbr\u003eSilversun’s initial forays into live performance weren’t\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateEllipsis\"\u003e...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003ca\u003emore\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003ecredits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased July 25, 2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Dave Cooley\u003cbr\u003eMixed by Tony Hoffer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Band:\u003cbr\u003eBrian Aubert: Guitar, Vocals\u003cbr\u003eNikki Monninger: Bass, Vocals\u003cbr\u003eJoe Lester: Sounds, Keyboards\u003cbr\u003eChristopher Guanlao: Drums\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dangerbird Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52972219826498,"sku":null,"price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/6839\/4562\/files\/0027913676_10.jpg?v=1777214248","url":"https:\/\/steadfastrecords.com\/products\/silversun-pickups-carnavas-2lp-black-vinyl-in-gatefold-with-download","provider":"Steadfast Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
