History

Pivot are a 3 piece band based in Sydney / London / Perth.
Pivot were formed as a 5 piece in Sydney 1999 by brothers Richard Pike, and Laurence Pike with pianist Adrian Klumpes, bassist Neal Sutherland and turntablist Dave Bowman. The band spent the subsequent four years working on their debut, with guitarist Richard Pike producing.
Pivot released their debut album, Make Me Love You, in August 2005. It was well-regarded, receiving widespread radio support on alternative radio and being nominated for a J Award by national youth broadcaster Triple J. In late 2005, the band added Perth (and now London) electronica artist Dave Miller, omitting the old members from their line up.
In 2008, Pivot signed to legendary UK label Warp Records.
Currently, Pivot are preparing for the release of their second album, which was tracked at BJB Studios Sydney, Australia with Scott Horscroft, and mixed with John McEntire (Tortoise/The Sea and Cake), at Soma Electronic Music Studios in Chicago, Illinois, USA. It will also be the bands first album release on Warp Records.[[1]]
The first EP 'In the Blood' was released on May 18th in UK /Europe, and May 24th in Australia in 12" / Digital format. The video was directed by Alexander Orlando Smith (Coldplay, Futureheads).
The first international release O Soundtrack My Heart is due August 18th 2008.
