I’ve been a fan of Pinback ever since teenage me discovered “Fortress” because of it’s inclusion in The O.C. I had tried to catch them live countless times, but it never quite worked out and it didn’t help that they have basically stopped touring for the past few years.
But I finally got my chance on October 8 when the duo of Rob Crow and Armistead Burwell Smith IV returned to New York for a performance at Irving Plaza to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their album Autumn of the Seraphs.
They began the set with a few of the albums bonus tracks and b-sides before playing the album from start to finish in sequence. The encore performance featured select cuts from the rest of their disocgraphy, giving fans a little bit of everything that they could ask for,
They sounded tight, really seemed to enjoy playing together and the crowd was with them all the way. I hope that we can expect to see them again soon and maybe, just maybe, a new album someday down the line.
Find some more photos from their performance posted below, along with the setlist.
