Silver Griffin is an American band that was formed in 2005 by Liam McCormick, Greg Black, and Seabrien Arata. They are from San Francisco and have played multiple sold out shows at the Cafe du Nord. They combine elements from jazz, pop, funk, blues and indie music to create an extremely unique sound. [1]They are also known as "Silver Griffin and the Family Crest," because by audition, they add members to the band for upcoming venues, which gives their performances a different sound each time. In the summer of 2006, 6 months after their formation, the band spent a three month stint in Weed, California recording their first full length album with producer Sylvia Massy (Tool (band), Red Hot Chili Peppers, Prince, System of a Down, Smashing Pumpkins and Johnny Cash).[2][3] In 2008 the band was featured in two major motion pictures (songs "Baby and Bottle" in "The Hottie and the Nottie" starring Paris Hilton and song "Longer" in "The Year of Getting to Know Us" starring Jimmy Fallon, Lucy Liu, Tom Arnold and Sharon Stone). Silver Griffin will be recording their second album sometime in late 2008.[3]
