Silversun Pickups are coming (back) to Current TV
Watch a tease of Silversun Pickups behind the scenes at KROQ from Current Music Presents: Embedded, a six part special premiering Wednesday, October 14 at 11/10c.
Silversun's a band close to our hearts—Current has the honor of being their first-ever TV appearance, in a VC2 pod by Embedded senior producer Alex Simmons and Current host Douglas Caballero, It aired back in 2006, when the band was on the brink of putting out their debut, "Carnavas":
They're so big time now they even made Jeopardy:
For Embedded, we rejoined the band as their second album, "Swoon," hit the shelves and the airwaves at KROQ—a station the band's drummer talks about having listened to every day on his way to high school—and prepped songs from "Swoon" to play before a live audience for the first time. It's an offbeat, intimate look at a band solidly stepping into its rock star shoes. (That was me being calm and professional about it. The rock fan in me just wants to say "it's fucking awesome.")
Tune in at 11/10c on Wednesday, October 21 to see Silversun Pickups on Embedded.
