Airin Older is the bassist and backup-singer/vocalist for the Californian (Santa Barbara to be exact) punk rock band Sugarcult. He joined the band after meeting frontman Tim Pagnotta in a music class. Tim was cheating off them and they became friends. Airin is an multi-instrumentalist who can play the piano, drums, and trumpet, as well as sing and harmonize. He is known to have perfect pitch. He appeared in many MTV music videos and has been on many successful tours of the US, Europe, and Japan (opening for Green Day) with Sugarcult and has appeared as guest presenter for the main award at the Japanese MTV Music Awards.

Airin plays a Fender Precision Bass and sings harmonies. He has been with Sugarcult since the beginning and has featured on every Sugarcult album. Sugarcult is in the final processes of finishing their new album and Airin will also be featured on this.

Airin Older and Tim Pagnotta are the only remaining original members of Sugarcult.

Sugarcult is an American pop punk/power-pop band out of Santa Barbara, California formed in 1998. They took their name from a moniker that lesbian neighbours who lived next door to the band called themselves.

Tim met ex-drummer Ben Davis during a cigarette break at school. Ben (who then played bass) and Tim started to play together on a regular basis until Tim invited Airin Older, a fellow classmate, to join. Ben was moved to the position of drummer and Airin filled in for Ben on bass.
