Saw Pinback on Saturday.
They were great. Exactly what I expected. But the real treat was in the opening act. I half assumed, that since there was no artist listed or even mentioned, Pinback would be the only act. Instead, an instrumental duo who I'd never heard of opened and they were fantastic. They really reminded me of Built to Spill, minus the vocals, but it was impressive because the guitarist strolled onstage with a double-necked Guitar/Bass Guitar combo, and proceeded to electronically loop basslines and guitar lines over each other via some footpedal device.
