Silversun Pickups @ Club 6

So last night Element Skateboards and Vestalife put together a launch party at Club 6 for some new product they have collaborated on, the Ladybug. I guess it's like a speaker system that looks like a ladybug...duh. So for the party they had Silversun Pickups come play. The show wasn't an announced show, Silversun Pickups made a myspace bulletin yesterday morning, but other than that you had to be on the lookout for the fliers and other ways that it was announced. So after standing in line for about 15 mins. I got into Club 6 and the party had a cool vibe. They had live artists doing art on the walls and then in the next room, "The Dark Room," had the stage set up. Club 6 is quite small, definitely not a venue like the Fillmore where Silversun Pickups played last time they were in town (and sold out super quick). As you can bet, the place was packed and after about an hour or so, Silversun came out after being introduced by the founders of Element and Vestalife. So SIlversun Pickups came out and played one hell of a set. I hadn't seen them in a long time and I forgot how good they were live. The first song coulda used more vocals and some leveling, but that was taken care of and from there on out it was a lot of fun. Everyone was having a good time and then just my luck football practice starts right in front of me by a group of bros. Overall I had a really good time and it was great to see them in such an intimate venue once again. Funny how people go ape shit for Lazy Eye, as it being played all over the radio. Even the band noted how people from the bay love them and therefore they love playing here. They also noted that they are in the process of writing a new album and took the time out of that to play this show for Element. Overall a lot of fun...and hey, apparently I'm back to doing this Blog...so look for semi-regular updates.
