• Enter to WIN FREE TICKETS to see Silversun Pickups on February 14 at the Crystal Ballroom!
While Silversun Pickups’ latest record features an eclectic mix of melodies, each song is interconnected with each other, meant to be experienced as a whole body of work. "All of our records are designed for people who want to listen to them all the way through and hopefully stick around with it," says guitarist and singer Brian Aubert. "After a while, maybe you'll catch on to the little things—not just the [pattern of] the dream songs, but maybe you'll hear that, and you'll hear a melody from the first song in the last song. There are crossover things happening." Get those tickets now or enter to win here!
Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside, Wed Feb 14, 8 pm, $35-$50
