The Silversun Pickups were on Letterman last night (still) performing "Panic Switch." Such a catchy tune and their performance was spot on. I was particularly delighted to see a lot of close up of bassist Nikki Monninger throughout their performance. Good call Late Show director!

Silversun Pickups "Panic Switch"

There are times I can't believe it's been three years since Silversun Pickups burst onto the scene with their video for "Well Thought Out Twinkles."  Then at other times it seems like it's been a decade.  Their particular style of super distorted rock grabbed me by the ear and didn't let go and I'm glad their new album is coming out next week.  

The video for "Panic Switch" is one part performance piece and one part epilepsy causing Anime strobes and cuts.  A pretty descent video, but if it's anything like their last album, there are prolly the good stuff will be in the next few tracks released.
