[edit] History
After forming in 1999, with a line-up consisting of Richard Pike, Laurence Pike and Neal Sutherland, the band changed its name to Pivot, and drastically changed its sound. Adrian Klumpes was added from 2001 and Dave Bowman shortly afterwards. The band spent the subsequent four years working on a debut album, 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, who performed with Pivot in March 2006, and participated in the writing of a new Pivot album at a similar time. Currently, Pivot is in pre-production for their second album.
