Pinback/Autechre

Saw Pinback last night at Irving Plaza. I like Pinback, "Summer in Abaddon" is a great album, but they were a bit disappointing live. I didn't think either of the guys that sings were that great, kind of off-key, and their music sounds better with studio polish. But the bassist has a pretty unique style, totally strumming this four-string bass, and at times they had two bassists going. They also had a great video screen behind them, and a pretty adoring crowd, so it was fun.

If any of you are into Autechre and want to round out your collection, this is the spot.
