This exclusive event celebrates the release of their highly anticipated new album, Tenterhooks. For a band that typically headlines massive festivals and theaters, this return to a smaller, historic venue offers fans a rare opportunity to experience their iconic “wall-of-sound” production in an incredibly close-knit environment.
The Vibe: Orchestrated Fuzz and Hometown Pride
The Tenterhooks release show is designed to be a sonic journey through the band’s evolution.

The New Sound: Expect a setlist heavy on new material. While the band is famous for their signature “fuzz-rock” and shoegaze influences, Tenterhooks leans into more intricate, atmospheric arrangements that suit the acoustics of the Masonic Lodge perfectly.

Hometown Energy: As Silver Lake icons, Silversun Pickups shows in LA always carry a palpable sense of community. The atmosphere is expected to be electric yet reverent, filled with longtime fans eager to hear the new tracks live for the first time.

A Visual Match: The Lodge’s gothic architecture and vintage charm provide a moody, dramatic backdrop for Brian Aubert’s distinctive vocals and the band’s driving, rhythmic intensity.
