Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eye

This single isn't from their 2nd album "Swoon" which has been hammered on Triple J for the last 3 months and which I've only got around to writing about on this blog today. I chose this song for this write up because it evokes a band I've loved since I was in 1st year Uni - everything in this clip from the teen angst angle to the female bassist, chords, licks and singing style just screams Smashing Pumpkins, the similarities being both obvious and intentional. It's also good to see an asian guy on drums, I don't think I've seen an asian drummer since Air Supply. Incidentally, that drummer, Rex Goh, is a distant uncle from my grandmother's side although I've never met the guy.
