After completion of their debut album in 2003, Silvertide hit the road and toured straight until 2006, most notably in support of [[Van Halen]], [[Velvet Revolver]], and [[Mötley Crüe]] in the summer of 2004, and [[Alter Bridge]] in 2005. On March 4, 2005, the band performed their single "Blue Jeans" on an episode of ''[[Jimmy Kimmel Live]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoQQt74rs3I |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211213/zoQQt74rs3I |archive-date=2021-12-13 |url-status=live|title=Silvertide - Blue Jeans - (Live 2005)|work=YouTube|access-date=29 October 2014}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Due to scheduling troubles, Silvertide cancelled all of their upcoming performances. In a statement made through [[MySpace]],
fans were told:

In 2006, [[M. Night Shyamalan]] featured Silvertide in his film ''[[Lady in the Water]]''. Silvertide was featured on the soundtrack with their covers of [[Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan's]] "[[Maggie's Farm]]" and "[[It Ain't Me, Babe]]".
"Some of you have asked about rumors of Silvertide cancelling their upcoming tour. The rumors are TRUE. All future Silvertide tour dates are cancelled and the band is going back into the studio to record their next record. The circumstances are odd and the story is long-winded but the bright side is that next time you see the band you'll hear all new stuff. We look forward to seeing everyone in the summer."


In February 2006 the band made their second appearance on the cover of Origivation Magazine. The photoshoot took place while the band was in preproduction for their next album.

Silvertide continued to play shows after the temporary departure of lead guitarist and founding member [[Nick Perri]] decided to hit the road with [[Perry Farrell]], [[Shinedown]], and [[Matt Sorum]]. Guitarist "Evil Rob", also from the Philadelphia-based band [[Pepper's Ghost (band)|Pepper's Ghost]] and long time friend of the band, was called to fill in for Perri on numerous occasions.
In an interview on WMMR the band revealed that they had recorded 25 demos for the upcoming album. They joked about naming it "Kill the Coyote", and revealed two demos named "Still Breathing" and "Hey Now".


Silvertide's future soon came into doubt as news of their new album had slowed down, and the band had updated their [[Myspace]] page to show their record label as "We think J Records?" Eventually, a few members of Silvertide began to pursue other projects including Walt Lafty and Brian Weaver's band Automatic Fire, Walt and Nick Perri's band [[SINAI band|SINAI]], and various solo releases. In 2011, J Records was dissolved into [[RCA Records]], at which time Silvertide was no longer listed on the label's roster.
In the summer of 2004, the band made apperinces with Van Hallen in such hotspots as Pittsburgh, and there hometown of Philidelphia


In October, 2012, Silvertide created a new [[Facebook]] page and began posting old band photos, as well as hints of a potential reunion. On November 2, the band posted an announcement that Silvertide "will be making music in 2013."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.facebook.com/silvertideband/posts/397084270362696 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/5811987419/397084270362696 |archive-date=2022-02-26 |url-access=limited|title=Silvertide - hey friends! we'd like to fill everyone in... - Facebook|website=[[Facebook]]|access-date=29 October 2014}}{{cbignore}}</ref> On January 9, 2013 Silvertide announced on [[WMMR]] that they are going to play a reunion show on March 9, 2013 at [[The TLA]] and enter the studio sometime after that show. Walt also said during the reunion show that it was being recorded by "Puffy" Dee Miller for Silversound Productions. Cinematographers consisted of Chris Lonergan, George Morgan, Burke Pushman and Bryan Skill. What is being done with the video is unknown at this point. The show on March 9 was the first of a handful of shows the band performed in 2013.

[[M. Night Shyamalan]], a horror/mystery director raised in the Philadelphia suburbs, had Silvertide featured in his movie, [[Lady in the Water]]. Silvertide was featured on the soundtrack with their covers of [[Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan's]] [[Maggie's Farm]] and [[It Ain't Me, Babe]].


==Other projects==
In 2006, the band launched a brand new website designed to focus on establishing a strong, personal connection with their fans. The site offers fans access to exclusive podcasts, photos and videos that exhibit access to the band.

January 22, 2009 vocalist Walt Lafty and bassist Brian Weaver of Silvertide started a new band called Automatic Fire with guitarist Evil Rob of the band Peppers Ghost alongside drummer Brian Kilian from the Dave Pittinger Band. In early 2010, Automatic Fire released an [[Extended play|EP]] titled ''No Decoy''. The album featured a song titled "What Are You Made Of", which Silvertide had performed at some of their final shows in 2008. The band was dissolved in September 2010.

In October 2010 it was announced that former Silvertide members [[Nick Perri]] and [[Walt Lafty]] had reunited for the first time since Silvertide to form the new [[Rock music|rock]] band SINAI.

Silvertide is an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1]

History[edit]

Originally named Vertigo, Silvertide was formed in January 2001 in Northeast Philadelphia. At first, the band was signed by J Records, and they released their first EP American Excess in 2002. Their first full album, Show and Tell, was released in 2004 and produced by David Ivory.[2]

After completion of their debut album in 2003, Silvertide hit the road and toured straight until 2006, most notably in support of Van Halen, Velvet Revolver, and Mötley Crüe in the summer of 2004, and Alter Bridge in 2005. On March 4, 2005, the band performed their single "Blue Jeans" on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live.[3]

In 2006, M. Night Shyamalan featured Silvertide in his film Lady in the Water. Silvertide was featured on the soundtrack with their covers of Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" and "It Ain't Me, Babe".

In February 2006 the band made their second appearance on the cover of Origivation Magazine. The photoshoot took place while the band was in preproduction for their next album.

Silvertide continued to play shows after the temporary departure of lead guitarist and founding member Nick Perri decided to hit the road with Perry Farrell, Shinedown, and Matt Sorum. Guitarist "Evil Rob", also from the Philadelphia-based band Pepper's Ghost and long time friend of the band, was called to fill in for Perri on numerous occasions.

Eventually, a few members of Silvertide began to pursue other projects including Walt Lafty and Brian Weaver's band Automatic Fire, Walt and Nick Perri's band SINAI, and various solo releases. In 2011, J Records was dissolved into RCA Records, at which time Silvertide was no longer listed on the label's roster.

In October, 2012, Silvertide created a new Facebook page and began posting old band photos, as well as hints of a potential reunion. On November 2, the band posted an announcement that Silvertide "will be making music in 2013."[4] On January 9, 2013 Silvertide announced on WMMR that they are going to play a reunion show on March 9, 2013 at The TLA and enter the studio sometime after that show. Walt also said during the reunion show that it was being recorded by "Puffy" Dee Miller for Silversound Productions.

The show on March 9 was the first of a handful of shows the band performed in 2013.

Other projects[edit]
