A 3x3 That Heats Up the Winter: Silversun Pickups, the Format, Greenskeepers




Today is February 23, the dead of winter, so we have a 3x3 that will heat things up.

This episode features Silversun Pickups, the best band that ever named themselves after a liquor store. They deliver an amazing performance live from the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. 'Desert pop' all-stars the Format are know for their infectious tunes, and they showcase them with (you guessed it) three songs from the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. The Greenskeepers bring out their indietronica and wacky outfits in front of a packed Miami crowd.

If you haven't been keeping up, 3x3 is a tri-monthly program that features 3 bands with a 3-question interview, 3 things you need to know about each one and 3 tidbits from the blogosphere. Click here to have a look.

We dig 3x3 so much that we update it 3 times a month (on the 3rd, 13th and 23rd, of course).

Please have a sample of The Format's previous awsome intro cd, "Interventions and Lullibies", I realize they have their own label, I sent copies of this to many late night shows and even Ellen show, and requested their music played on local stations here in Phoenix, AZ. "On The Porch" truly helped me through the death of my father.I may not be the usual demo for this band, my 21 yr old son turned me on to them as he knows I am into alternative music.Tell them to come back and play Phoenix!!!Soon!!!Jody Frein
