We are on the home stretch to Christmas now, so here's a Christmas song from the Silversun Pickups. This song carries special meaning and a purpose for the band. Here's the info qprime:
This holiday season, Silversun Pickups and Butch Vig combine forces once again to pay tribute to Low’s ‘Just Like Christmas’, with the aim of raising money for the Union Gospel Mission charity foundation in the name of Mimi Parker.
Says Brian Aubert… “We’ve been fans of Low’s beautiful music for a long time now. When we heard the news about Mimi’s passing, we were incredibly sad. With Alan’s blessing, we decided to cover one of their Christmas songs, with hopes of raising money for a cause dear to Alan in Mimi’s name. Low’s Christmas is a classic. It was the first one I ever heard that made me feel holiday music could be cool.”
