Be Mine Pinback! I mean Valentine!

Get your emo on and take your sweetie to see Pinback at the Showbox (market version) this valentine’s day. Eventhough I must admit I haven’t seen Pinback live just yet and some of the time reserve their music for my melancholic moods, I hear they put on a good ol’ rockin show. I imagine Rob Crow is a character at the lead based on his choice of muisic lyrics, and I always love an entertaining frontman. I would be there with in a sweet tart heartbeat but alas, I’ll be out of town. Hoping one of my NWMB blogging buddies has plans to see them so they can do a write up to share what I missed!

If you like Pinback and want to check out one of Rob’s more obscure ventures — seek out Optiganally Yours presents: Exclusively Talentmaker. It’s like taking an old fashioned carnival ride thru the indie rock funhouse. All songs are brought to you by an Optigan. It’s like the cheesiest of organs mixed with some player piano, 70s style, on acid. If you decide to partake, while you’re there, say hi to the poodleman for me.
