Silversun named Artist of the week on MTV
MTV has just announced that Silversun Pickups are this week’s choice for “Artist of the Week” on MTV. The artist of the week spots include short videos spots during the ending credits for shows as well as short music video clips in between commercial spots. The 17 short video spots that are currently running are the band at a special Silversun sleepover. The videos contain the band having a “don’t fall asleep first competition”, as well as building a cookie shrine for Jared Leto. The ads have everything you would expect at a sleepover which includes a round of light as a feather still as a board with Nikki Monninger, TPing Carson Dailys house, and even pulling out the Ouija board. The spots would not be complete without a sing along and a poolside performance by the band. The ads will run for the rest of the week and will end on Saturday November 10th.
This is another milestone for SSPU, and MTV2, the sister channel of MTV, has just added “Well Thought Out Twinkles” to there regular rotation. The band will be heading over seas with the Kaiser Chiefs for a short European tour and then heading back to the states to finish out the year. You can check out the videos at MTV and preview the Lumber Vs. Slumber video here.
