Wanted to turn you on to this band that has been getting bigger every time they come through San Francisco. Check their progression: Cafe Du Nord, Popscene, a street fair in Oakland, Rickshaw Stop, Fillmore (with Wolfmother), and Bill Graham Civic (Not-So-Silent-Night).

Silversun Pickups may as well be called Silversun Pixies or Silversun Pumpkins. Think fuzzy guitars mixed with bittersweet melodies. Lazy Eye is just a nice slice of circa 1993 fuzzed-out bliss and Well Thought Out Twinkles is "Billy Corgan's best song that he never wrote" according to a magazine.
