Pinback performs radio shows

Radio show. It sounds like something that music videos killed a long time ago, but in fact, it’s a viable, thriving concept. It lets a radio station bring the music directly to its audience, without the interference of DJs or commercials (except for the ones that the audience will be looking at during the entire concert).

The critically acclaimed men of Pinback will rock out for radio in December, which will see the band play four holiday-themed concerts in four cities for four radio stations with four different numbers involving decimal points (103.1, 96.5, 94.9 and 106.5). Sounds like fun.
