Hometown Celebrity Nikki Monninger Honored At Council Meeting

LOS ALAMITOS, CA — Local guitarist Nikki Monninger earns the title of Hometown Celebrity at the Dec. 10 City Council Meeting, the city council spokesperson reported. Monninger, bassist of the Silversun Pickups, grew up and attended school in Los Alamitos.

Her alternative rock band has enjoyed 13 singles on the Billboard Top 100, including “Panic Switch” peaking at the number 1 spot.

The band previously received a Grammy nomination and has appeared on several national television shows including the David Letterman Show, and she still finds time to return to her home base in Los Alamitos to visit with her mom.

"The City of Los Alamitos recognizes its citizens who started in Los Alamitos and have gone on to achieve great success," City Manager Bret Plumlee said.

Mayor Edgar has known Nikki Monninger’s family for many years and has been instrumental behind this effort to recognize Nikki as a hometown celebrity. Nikki will be signing a bass guitar to be donated to the Los Alamitos Museum for her Hall of Fame induction in February.

You’re all invited to attend and hear Nikki’s story about growing up here in Los Alamitos. The Council meeting will be held on December 10 in the Council Chamber located at 3191 Katella Ave., Los Alamitos, CA 90720.
