After Gonzales and Kennedy left the band and Guanlao and Lester joined, the group changed their name. Their name comes from a liquor and convenience store near their house at Sunset and Silver Lake Blvds in Los Angeles. One of the friends would often arrive at the store late at night to buy liquor, and would be making the "Silversun Pickup".

Quotes:
We're from Los Angeles, so we never moved here to make our dreams happen. That sets us apart. It's funny, too, because it's not a niche in a sound wayall the bands that we know are so different. When we play Ship nights, it couldn't be any more different, so that's great because it's not a scene or style. We're not linked because we're all third-generation ska bands.
-Brian Aubert
Sometimes it's collaborative from the ground up, but most of the times I have the kernel ready to go. It's not "Hey, here's a riff, everybody, let's jam on it, because I don't really like jamming. So I come up with some semblance of a song and they attack it and change it completely. They do stuff that's just amazing.
