To start, congratulations to the bassist of Silversun Pickups, Nikki Monninger, on expecting twin girls! While fans miss her being on tour, Sarah Negahdair of The Happy Hollows does not disappoint as a fill-in bassist on the tour. The sold-out Rams Head Live roared with fans excited for the alternative indie rock band from Los Angeles to perform. Silversun Pickups fans said the show was absolutely amazing, and one could tell the fans were happy from the energy in the venue while the band was on stage. Their set included a good mix of their newer and older hits.
Silversun Pickups setlist:
- Skin Graph
- Royal We
- Bloody Mary
- Simmer
- Here We Are
- Little Lovers
- Mean Spirits
- The Pit
- Catch and Release
- Panic Switch
- Dots and Dashes
- Lazy Eye
Cloud Nothings
There was not much to enjoy about Cloud Nothings. The only thing to like of the indie rock band from Cleveland, Ohio was a little bit of their long jam sessions. Their songs seemed to be never ending. Their song “Wasted Days” lasts for 8 minutes and 54 seconds – too long. There was also a lot of screaming in their music – not heavy metal screaming – screaming for dear life.
Atlas Genius
Atlas Genius was a great way to start the evening. This indie rock band from Adelaide, South Australia performed songs off their EP, “Through The Glass”. The crowd loved their performance, and they were great eye candy for the ladies. Atlas Genius seems very down to Earth; during their set they took a photo of the crowd on one of their phones and posted it online. They also met fans at their merch table after the performance.
