History
Formed in 1999 by brothers Richard Pike, and Laurence Pike.
Neal Sutherland and Dave Bowman joined shortly afterwards. After the deaprture of original keyboardist Edoardo Santoni, Adrian Klumpes was added in 2001. 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. Currently, Pivot is in post-production for their second album, due mid 2007, having recently down-sized the line-up to it's core members of Dave Miller and the Pike brothers.
