History
Formed in 1999 by brothers Richard Pike, and Laurence Pike. 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 widepread 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 to their lineup. Currently, Pivot is in post-production for their second album, due mid-late 2007, having recently down-sized from a 5-piece line-up to its core members of Dave Miller and the Pike brothers.
The second album has been mixed with John McEntire (Tortoise/The Sea and Cake), at Soma Electronic Music Studios in Chicago, Illinois. It is as yet unreleased.
