Formed in 1970 they were an instant success and went on to have a series of huge selling albums throughout the seventies before splitting up in the early eighties. Reunited in the early nineties, they produced a new album, Black Moon, and began to tour again. In 1997 they embarked on a world tour which included this superb performance at Montreux on July 7.

SHEMEKIA COPELAND ANNOUNCES FALL TOUR
Outskirts Of Love Set For September 11 Release
Award-winning, trailblazing vocalist Shemekia Copeland has announced plans for her Fall 2015 North American tour in support of her new Alligator Records album, Outskirts Of Love. The genre-smashing CD is set for September 11 release. With a voice that is alternately sultry, assertive and roaring, Shemekia’s wide-open vision of contemporary blues, Americana, roots and soul music showcases the evolution of a passionate artist with a modern musical and lyrical approach. Whether she’s belting out a raucous blues-rocker, firing up a blistering soul-shouter, bringing the spirit to a gospel-fueled R&B rave-up or digging deep down into a subtle, country-tinged ballad, Shemekia Copeland sounds like no one else. The Chicago Tribune said Copeland delivers "gale force singing and power" with a "unique, gutsy style, vibrant emotional palette and intuitive grasp of the music." NPR Musiccalls her “fiercely expressive.”
Copeland’s return to Alligator Records with Outskirts Of Love (she recorded four albums for the label from 1998 through 2006) finds her at her most charismatic, performing roots rock, Americana, and blues with power and authority, nuance and shading. Produced by The Wood Brothers’ Oliver Wood, Outskirts Of Love is a musical tour-de-force, with Copeland rocking out on the title track, taking charge in Crossbone Beach, honoring her father, the late Johnny Clyde Copeland with her Afrobeat-infused take on his Devil’s Hand, tackling homelessness on Cardboard Box and showing off her country swagger on Drivin’ Out Of Nashville. She puts her stamp on songs made famous by Solomon Burke (I Feel A Sin Coming On), Jesse Winchester (Isn’t That So), Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee (The Battle Is Over), Creedence Clearwater Revival (Long As I Can See The Light), ZZ Top (Jesus Just Left Chicago), Albert King (Wrapped Up In Love Again) and Jessie Mae Hemphill (Lord Help The Poor And Needy). Friends including Billy F Gibbons, Robert Randolph, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Will Kimbrough and Pete Finney all add their talent with unbridled enthusiasm. The result is Copeland’s most decidedly contemporary and musically adventurous album of her still-evolving career.
Copeland has performed thousands of gigs at clubs, festivals and concert halls all over the world and has appeared on national television, NPR, and in newspapers, films and magazines. She is a mainstay on countless commercial and non-commercial radio stations. She's sung with Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Carlos Santana, James Cotton and many others. She opened for The Rolling Stones and entertained U.S. troops in Iraq and Kuwait. Jeff Beck calls her “f*cking amazing.” Santana says, “She’s incandescent…a diamond.” In 2012, she performed at the White House for President and Mrs. Obama. Afterward, Jagger (with whom she sang) sent her a bottle of champagne.
With Outskirts Of Love and a packed tour schedule, Copeland has her eyes fixed firmly on the future as she continues to break new musical ground. "I want to keep growing, to be innovative," she says. “I’m a lifer, singing about things that are important to me, using my music to help people. My dad always said ‘we’re all connected.’ I’m an old soul marching to the beat of my own drum,” she continues, “And right now I’m making the most exciting music of my career.”

SILVERSUN PICKUPS TURN ON "NIGHTLIGHT"
RADIANT NEW SINGLE AND EXTENDED VIDEO BOTH UNVEILED THURSDAY, AUGUST 6th
HALLUCINATORY MUSIC FILM WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY MARK PELLINGTON
PREMIERES AT SILVERSUNPICKUPS.COM
"NIGHTLIGHT" HERALDS MODERN ROCK ICONS' EAGERLY AWAITED NEW ALBUM,
TO BE RELEASED VIA BAND'S OWN NEW MACHINE RECORDINGS
FULL-LENGTH EPISODE OF DIRECTV'S GUITAR CENTER SESSIONS
SET TO DEBUT ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 7TH
ALBUM PRE-ORDERS AVAILABLE NOW
BETTER NATURE ARRIVES EVERYWHERE ON SEPTEMBER 25TH
Silversun Pickups will herald their much-anticipated fourth studio album with an array of high profile activity.BETTER NATURE will be released September 25th via the band's own New Machine Recordings.
BETTER NATURE is preceded by the incandescent new single, "Nightlight," debuting Thursday August 6th. "Nightlight" also arrives accompanied by a hallucinatory music film, written and directed by legendary filmmaker Mark Pellington (Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam). The extended video - produced by Braxton Pope (Passion Pit, MGMT) and featuring Meg Steedle (Boardwalk Empire, The Mysteries of Laura) - builds upon the track's resonant emotional and sonic core to explore the darker recesses of one young woman's subconscious, a fever dream of guilt, desire, and identity. "Nightlight" is now available to watch at silversunpickups.com and YouTube.
As if all that weren't enough, August 7th will see the debut broadcast of Silversun Pickups' full-length appearance on DIRECTV's Guitar Center Sessions. The all-new episode sees host Nic Harcourt sitting down with the band to discuss their formation, creative process, and what's next for the band's future. The episode is highlighted by exclusive performances from Silversun Pickups' recent set at the world-famous Guitar Center Hollywood, including such iconic classics as "Lazy Eye," and "Panic Switch," and also features the first live performance of "Nightlight." Guitar Center Sessions premieres Friday, August 7th at 9 pm ET on DIRECTV Audience Channel 239 (check local listings); exclusive clips - including a special behind-the-scenes featurette - can be viewed now at sessions.guitarcenter.com.
BETTER NATURE is available now for pre-order in a variety of formats, including a limited edition signed 2 disc 180g vinyl (black) bundle, signed handwritten lyric sheets, art proofs, exclusive T-shirt, and customized SSPU nightlight. For details, please visit silversunpickups.com.
Silversun Pickups' first new album in more than three years, BETTER NATURE sees the Silverlake, CA-based band partnering once again with producer Jacknife Lee (U2, Two Door Cinema Club, Crystal Castles), with whom they so successfully collaborated on 2012's visionary NECK OF THE WOODS. Songs like "Friendly Fires" and "Cradle (Better Nature)" were created and crafted in Lee's Topanga studio, the band building out organically from Silversun Pickups singer/guitarist Aubert's spare songwriting demos. The result is fluid and freewheeling, "oozy," in Aubert's words, with heavily cranked guitars, propulsive rhythms, and seemingly infinite textures.
GRAMMY® Award-winning mix engineer Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, Royal Blood) brings maximum sonic power to the proceedings, but at the album's beating heart is Silversun Pickups' remarkably intuitive interplay, as ever providing panoramic musical counterpoint to Aubert's incisive, increasingly self-exploratory lyricism. Richer, warmer, and more evocative than anything in their prior canon,BETTER NATURE is Silversun Pickups' most human music thus far.
"This album is like its own quantum universe," Aubert says. "It's kind of unstable."
Silversun Pickups will celebrate BETTER NATURE with an epic North American tour to be unveiled soon. In the meantime, the band will make a number of special showcase appearances, beginning with a headline performance at FM 94.9's Independence Jam, set for September 12th at Oceanside, CA's Junior Seau Pier Amphitheatre. For complete details and ticket availability, please visit silversunpickups.com/tour.
BETTER NATURE marks the debut release from Silversun Pickups' own New Machine Recordings. The independent label takes its name from the PIKUL favorite, "...All The Go Inbetweens."
* * * * *
Silversun Pickups is among the most dynamic and creative rock bands of the contemporary era, hailed far and wide for their inimitable merging of ethereal melodies and pure sonic force. From the opening indie rock salvo of 2005's PIKUL EP to 2012's far-reaching NECK OF THE WOODS, each successive release has seen the Silverlake, CA-based band boldly venture into uncharted terrain, bravely pushing their imagination and ability towards new and surprising summits. Ambitious and anthemic, tracks like "Panic Switch" and "Lazy Eye" have proven modern classics, a guarantee of rare danger and invention amidst the anodyne dross of post-millennial rock. What's more, the indefatigable quartet have made it their mission to bring their unique music to the people, touring the planet nearly non-stop to reach a devoted and ever-growing international fan following.
Silversun Pickups is: Brian Aubert (guitar, vocals) * Nikki Monninger (bass) * Joe Lester (keyboards) * Christopher Guanlao (drums).
