[@noahnims3942]

You made listening to this over and over again so much easier. You have my thanks

[@SuperGuguto]

this guy has an awesome voice.

[@childsizedsoda]

Nikkis bassline in Mean spirits is so fucking great. HOLY SHIT!!!!

[@bernlin2000]

Love this presenter's voice...so soothing

[@chrispiland9403]

God I love his voice when it breaks up a bit. Very nice. I hear people compare them to Smashing Pumpkins a lot and yea I hear it. But I also hear some Sunny Day Real Estate. Esp in the vocals.

[@brandoncarey4997]

Yeah when I first heard their song Lazy Eye yrs. ago hearing it on a radio station (which at the time I hadn't been listening to much new music/radio) I almost thought it was Billy Corgan. I started listening to radio again to find out who it was; I didn't have internet, smartphone, etc. and was not doing well at the time.

[@korydeleon8236]

Personally, I feel like Brian sounds similar to Josh Klinghoffer vocally, and that the Neck Of The Woods album sounds alike to Dot Hacker.

[@chrispiland9403]

Wow Kory, you may have just introduced me to a new fav band! Dot Hacker is AMAZING!!!!! Just looked them up and first song was Eye Opener. Ha! I'm hooked. Thanks man!

[@korydeleon8236]

Eye Opener is probably my favorite song of Dot Hacker's, :) Glad I could spread to music.

[@jflesh8673]

i was totally feeling Jeremy Enigk on Neck of the Woods ...

[@Stoogemeister420]

that acoustic bass is awesome

[@adam.miles1985]

Fucking amazing. My new favourite band. 🤘

[@rafaelcampos1339]

Silversuns pickups...geniales, lo máximo...únicos...vengan a México por favooor....

[@ParanoidDroid26]

His vocal range makes a grown man want to cry....Thank you KEXP for making this happen, Silversun Pickups are a quality band I hope no one forgets!

[@undisclosedlocations]

What an underrated performance!

[@kingbuzzo8703]

"Are you ready knickknack?" Is the sweetest thing I have ever heard.

[@gms02]

So precious ^^

[@ctr36096]

I have no idea why but every time his voice cracked it sounded just as good. So much emotion in his singing

[@mericsso]

Silver Sun Pickups and Cheryl Waters, just gold.

[@liebherr66]

The human voice - the most powerful instrument there is, and the hardest to master. In my opinion this guy is one of a handful that has it all to become what he already is - a true superstar!

[@noahnims3942]

I can't handle how amazing this is! They need to release an acoustic album!

[@rcwright428]

It's amazing how real they are, you can see something so true in them, like how nervous they are in the beginning but then the outcome is absolutely beautiful.

[@androidesolitario]

Love that bass sound

[@RonnieCunha]

They always elevate my soul.

[@Hesthewizeguy]

I'm always so surprised how easily their songs translate to acoustic

[@docholiday13]

They just make it look easy....

[@carlosr7723]

It's great to se Brian with so much confidence now. i remember this when he would barely speak up during an interview. That was years ago.

[@christinalee9959]

the pit acoustic is amazing.

[@gms02]

Stunning! Sometimes I can't believe they're the same people as in their other songs.

[@HectorToTheG]

I love how in Dots and Dashes, you can see Brian and Nikki both moving their foot at the same pace!

[@akilliefan]

...and I now do not quite understand the dislikes, not sure how any1 can not like this.

[@bradleyreece2689]

My lord, the vocals! Wow. Just so impressed. I like them even better which was already a lot!

[@gms02]

Joy to hear them talk, joy to hear them play, joy to hear the banter evolve. Almost a little slice of life

[@joannelong1163]

MEGA talented band. Their music gets me thru every single day!

[@Pastafield]

That acoustic bass sounds soooo good

[@Ej3kayy]

I come back to watch The Pit

[@NBGO]

"Ready Nik-Nac?" Aw shit. And Now Im deeper in love with this band.

[@Centrifuze]

Seriously. Brian's charm is unrivaled, and his chemistry with everyone in the band is just amazing. One of few bands where the live performances are better than just the studio versions for the sake of all the banter you get with it.

[@nosuchthing8]

Going to see them this weekend - Never really knew who they WERE but BOY they rock.

[@BunnyCareFree]

That end (or, well, the bit before the beginning) made me laugh so hard, what a great set this was. Silversun Pickups never seems to disappoint!

[@marcelors2764]

Stephanie Blake ssshhhh

[@Pboy7272]

Jeez! They make it look so damn easy! The musicianship is unreal and love his voice. I could watch them play for hours. It truly looks like they're having fun the entire time start to finish. Fabuloso.

[@chrismonte8]

I really enjoyed this acoustic session; fun, intimate, & Silversun Pickups. All I need right there.

[@teeoff123456]

not only are their music good but their personalities are witty and strong

[@badger1492]

I think it sounds great. I love the album versions too. His vocals on The Pit are amazing!

[@badger1492]

Stripped down and "unplugged." Sounds great and gives a new perspective on the album versions.

[@zwinglimas]

Love this band, this album, this session, also puppies and flowers and everything that is nice.

[@akilliefan]

Wow, Mean Spirits is wonderful......only word for it.

[@Ad7Afroman]

Mean Spirits is like a galloping kick in the ass man. holy hell you cant help but feel charged after hearing that song!!

[@emilianomarquez1629]

The pit always gives me an Island of Dr Moreau kind of vibe. After 8 years i think it's safe to say this is my favorite silversun performance, along with brian being brian.

[@JimDevlin-du9vs]

Amazing perfect harmony:

[@angeleszepeda]

ooohh! guys!!! you're amazing! I fell in love with Brian since I saw him at the vive latino here in mexico........

[@amarxel]

[@toulad5317]

We have our own dreaming. This is mine. So awesome.

[@ChardonnaySundae]

[@emmet553]

I love Seattle and I love KEXP. Saw silversun pickups in Chicago wow that was something.

[@johnb3734]

wow- awesome- Love it. Live is tough and they are great

[@Waniawox]

love, love, LOVE Brian's voice...I'm addicted :)

[@AnnaLauraMusic]

I've been watching KEXP videos for weeks and haven't seen Silversun Pickups in the sidebar. I figured they were PERFECT for this station, I'm glad I found this. KEXP was about to lose cool points. :3 Fucking love this station.

[@hero3594]

These guys are preforming at my job tomorrow... Ive never heard them before but after watching this im sorta looking forward to it seeing them.

[@amcclary1974]

Beautiful

[@davidczanowski5709]

Thanks

[@Diogmetes]

Me too, man. I have friend who is into totally different genres then I, but we come together on this band every time.

[@fredycortez8046]

Ive seen these guys thrice each time my nerve endings were dancing!!! FUCK YEAH SILVERSUN!!!

[@colincharlton6160]

Rock and roll will never die.

[@Lwize]

Still such an underrated band. Get the word out, people!

[@mr.mcmagpie6606]

Anyone else ever wish SSP would cover a Blind Melon song? Like maybe Galaxie or toes across the floor... Brian's voice is just so damn great!!!

[@RadicalRyan1024]

Brian is soooooo cute with his insecurities about his music I love how much he's came out of his shell. I love you Brian

[@Jehudi]

Great performance!

[@EffYeahSaraQuin]

I love this soooo much. omg.

[@jamesworrall5441]

beautiful guitar

[@LsCvlt]

they are the best! :) thank you @KEXP

[@ericdecuir4532]

These guys are the best thing to me since Radiohead.......just straight up putting it down!!!

[@rob0lowe]

I've spent the past 10 months or so thinking the lead singer of this band, who I only recently came across, was a woman. Never saw any photos or looked up anything on them. His voice just sounded like a woman's voice. What do you know? I still like them.

[@KaiSoDaM]

you're not the only one, i've been listening to their songs since 2008 or something and just find out he was a man around 2011 lol

[@jdiviz14]

KaiSoDaM you [both] are idiots

[@andrephx90]

Really good. Love the acoustic bass!

[@Spinelicker5]

Much respect, thanks.

[@lilacsmile87]

fantastic quality of a video. Thank you!

[@DennisGruetter]

Outstanding

[@Koziiik]

they're awesome !

[@Melaniapaleo]

They are great! Cheers from Greece :)

[@seeeseee4689]

Same to you .

[@ImJoseSerrano]

There's a reason for no dislike this vid. great band

[@mtb126]

The Pit is actually by mouserat

[@jenniferpellegore7884]

That's a different "The Pit. "

[@seanhcky111]

Brian, and Nikki's voice go together like peanut butter, and jelly.

[@bunt1691]

That's the untold story. She's so shy, many don't pick up on how good her vocals are.

[@PPFaceification]

she loves him and he doesn't love her back

[@jameslund221]

hmm

[@JorgeDiazElYorch]

She's married and have a kid.

[@achafilms3968]

1.000.000 thumbs UP!

[@amldean]

@12:46 How do you contain yourself Cheryl after that song happening right in front of you? SO CALM!

[@serendipitous123321]

They seem like the nicest people.

[@wc7484]

"so Sheryl, the thing about breast millk. oh, are we live?" lol

[@159RaMa159]

The end is so good

[@OneRandomVictory]

8:18 “Ready Nick Knack” I love it 👌

[@chrismcgourty1756]

Probably won't ever get the response they deserve but at least they recorded it and we can enjoy it :).

[@GyanKubuZ]

"Swoon" is in my heart!!!

[@lil_keybo]

Seeing them in KC tomorrow!!

[@fabiolopez4130]

ty

[@Centrifuze]

It was a compliment.

[@dmeagle1]

Awesome

[@nicepeoplenicepeople]

Wow. These songs are actually pretty well written. When I heard them as in their recordings on their new albums, I thought it was so bad and taken over by the same ol 'indie' vibe with all the electronic stuff. But acoustically, It's great. Which restores my belief that they are still a great band writing great emotional songs. Just are being fuckin controlled by producers.

[@TheStatisticalPizza]

I definitely think some of the magic of these songs gets lost due to over-production, but I think that was mostly their choice to go more in an indie pop direction.

[@Bernardusaurus]

Haha, he's so talkative. Great band, great set.

[@paullalonde342]

I thought I was in love with this band before this is amazing fuckin love it

[@wekeraves0on]

his voice!!

[@bareakon]

The emotion is in the cracks...

[@ThePharcyde19]

I have a 6-CD changer in my car. It is filled with Carnavas, Swoon, Neck Of The Woods, Pikul, Seasick. I have no idea what the last one is!

[@SpenceOfAthens]

Dots and Dashes sounds cooler here than the album version, loving this performance

[@snowballBayBEE]

This guy is bad ass i seen him at BFD he was one of the best there 2013

[@CCDaDon15]

Saw them last year at the Aragon, I'm assuming that's the show you were talking about. I have video up. There were a lot of audio issues and I was right next to some jerk but the band was ON FIRE. Sarah got so much props for someone filling in for a lot of people's favorite band member.

[@SpongeBobbyBoy]

What the? Whay are people complaining about dislikes? There is only 18! And anyways, people are able to have different taste from other people. Shocking, right?

[@adroppers7]

I'll always love this band. I wish they would go with a more raw sound again! A lot of these songs from their last two albums are more enjoyable in there acoustic sets. Kissing families forever lol

[@6578910a]

Oh brian you really do never change

[@jasv.9549]

Their albums are so over produced - Glad there is a stripped down version of some good songs here. You can really hear they're talented musicians.
