Saw the Silversun Pickups concert at the Fox Theater in Oakland on Wednesday with mercurystatic!
Openers were Henry Clay People (wholly unremarkable) and Against Me! (not bad, downloaded their latest album but have yet to give it a proper listening).
SSPU were amazing. Brian was full of energy and charisma, often stopping to talk with the crowd and thank them for being there. Nikki acted as she normally does, switching back and forth between mouse-y, unassuming shy girl and rockin'-out-holding-her-bass-over-her-head girl. Chris and Joe were quiet as ever.
Set list, in order:
Growing Old Is Getting Old
Well Thought Out Twinkles
Sort Of
There's No Secrets This Year
The Royal We
Little Lovers So Polite
It's Nice To Know You Work Alone
Future Foe Scenarios
Kissing Families
Catch and Release
Panic Switch
Lazy Eye
Encore:
Substitution
Three Seed
Common Reactor
We managed to get a spot in the very front row which made for some great picture taking opportunities. Brian frequently made his way up to the very front of the stage so the fans could snap some good shots. I managed to get a few of my own.
