Silversun Pickups Australian tour (as a support)

I remember about 3 or 4 years ago, these guys did a free show in the Valley. My coworker tried to drag me along to see it, but because of my associating their songs with a recent ex-girlfriend that was pissing me off (especially with her horrid habit of liking only music that was played on Triple J, the singles, not full albums) I skipped it. And I hate myself for it.

They do extremely dreamy shoegaze. And don't be fooled, that voice is not a female (much heated debate was had in the office about it). They also released one of the best albums of 2009, in Swoon.

What makes me mad is that their tour of Australia has them as supports. For Birds of Tokyo. Who are definitely not my cup of tea. I like their song Off Kilter, but for some reason I've never liked the band. Probably has something to do with the lead singer, who is from Karnivool, another band I've never liked for no apparent reason.

They'll be playing the Convention Centre on the 24th of September.
