Well, it is easy to say that last night’s Grammy telecast was quite a spectacle. From Lady Gaga and Pink showing off their “goods” to the Michael Jackson 3D tribute, it was a very interesting night. We were mighty proud that Silversun Pickups were nominated for the Best New Artist category, and even though they didn’t take home the trophy, it was still a mighty incredible honor. While rolling down the red carpet, Brian, Nikki, Joe and Christopher were interviewed by TV Guide. Here is the footage:

Just a quick reminder that the Grammys are coming up this Sunday evening. Silversun Pickups have been nominated for Best New Artist, along with the Zac Brown Band, Keri Hilson, MGMT and The Ting Tings. We’ll be glued to our TV sets for this one! The television coverage begins at 8pm ET/PT on CBS. We are PUMPED! If you want a sneak peek at what Nikki and Joe are wearing to the ceremony, click here.

In case you missed it, we’ve got video from Silversun Pickups’ performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. They rocked through “Panic Switch” and “The Royal We.” Enjoy!
