Silversun Pickups: Dear Diary, Fall Tour

Silversun Pickups have a journal that covers the last few months of their summer tour. They crossed paths with JK and I at Mercury Lounge and Piano's in NYC and Top caught them in DC. Here are their respective rundowns:

"NEW YORK.
crazy since the second we landed. fearless tv sessions, acoustic dealies, an amazing show and one not so amazing after show. kudos to the lovely singer of MAGNETA LANE for singing KISSING FAMILIES with us at PIANOS. no sleep. none. which is how NYC likes you before it spits you out towards...[PHILADELPHIA]

"WASHINGTON DC.
a funny on air interview with the U of MARYLAND radio station was fun. being interviewed by someone who has no idea who you are or why you're there is always a hoot. the BLACK CAT crowd was great. we love you. but, we played shitty. sorry. can't win 'em all. after show drinks with some nice people prepared us for our trip back to...[BROOKLYN]"
We already mentioned the Metro D-specific venues for their fall tour, but I just got an email from the closest of friends who was raving about their first listen to Carnavas. Nothing gives me more joy than introducing some to a new band. Nothing. That being said, there are more dates than what we listed previously. Here is the whole tour:
