Silversun Pickups originated in the Silverlake district of Los Angeles. I had a close friend who lived in Silverlake in the Aughts (& beyond). Whenever I was visiting him & we were out on a liquor run (going to the Silversun liqour store on the corner of Silverlake Blvd & Sunset - hence Silversun), we would often run into members of the band also on a liquor run (hence Silversun Pickups, get it). If we were hitting some local Silverlake Clubs to see Elliott Smith or Beck or Rilo Kiley at the Silver Lake Lounge or the Echo or Spaceland, we would often see the Pickups perform. They never truly made me swoon, but nonetheless, here they are, making you Swoon.
