The best way to hide a baby bump? The bass.
Well, for a few weeks anyway.
And then, admits Nikki Monninger, it's time to announce the big news, lest someone speculate you've been hogging the band rider all to yourself.
"I'm just starting to show, so we had to say something," laughs Mon-ninger, the bassist for California pop-rock act Silversun Pickups, who spilled the baby beans the day before. "I think in Kansas City, there were some questions. Not that I would mind if people said I was fat."
Making it all the more imperative is the fact that the musician is pregnant with not one but two future roadies - twin girls. That means that she'll be getting a whole lot bigger and her time out on the road will be winding down quite soon, with Sarah Negahdari from the band The Happy Hollows waiting in the wings to temporarily take her place as the Pickups continue to promote their recently released album Neck of the Woods.
