Hi MrJimboliha, you were there with me, and you could be right, since the Antwerp gig was in a big, all-seated venue (DeSingel) and the Leuven gig was not. I still have some footage of the Leuven gig as well, though ;-)
I assure you it is Rob Crow.. i suspect nobody will beleive me but I actually shot that footage myself.. god quite a few years back now.. apologies for the shakeyness.. the camera was pretty 'zoomed'. I think this is my favourite Pinback song.. it was the first one i heard.. so beautifully simple :-) After being a massive Heavy Vegetable & Thingy Fan it was quite a change - and a welcome one. Anyway , it def is him!!
This is recorded most likely in 1999 or 2000, on a Thursday night at the old STUK theatre in Leuven (Belgium), I was there. The night after they played at De Nachten festival in Antwerp. I was there too. :-)
Hi there.. I shot this footage :-) And i have an appalling memory but i thought it was the Antwerp festival this was shot at.. cos i went to both shows too and the Leuven venue was waaay smaller.. this one i had to zoom the camera a lot - i disticntly remember being in a big indoor place.. there was a this wicked band that wandered all over the place in a big line playing crazy-cool music :-) hehe.. But you are right on the rough date.. I'm going to find my old passport and clarify better :-)
@ratm0751 I love Pinback, and therefore love Rob Crow, but I just have never seen him skinny. Is that really him?! I mean, I hear the voice, and heart, but I just don't SEE him there...
If anyone cares, I uploaded the "Remote Action Sequence" Album, another of rob's side projects... not trying to promote my page, just letting some fellow fans know
So where is the fat guy that plays guitar. and why are there two basses. Don't get me wrong this is awesome, but was the guy playing the fender in the band earlier and then leave or something?
Tha fat guy ( i prefere Rob Crow)... used to be skinny...
and Sigur Ros also has a song with 2 basses + Girls vs Boys also uses 2 bassplayers in all there songs.... and the sound they make together.. is kinda cool...
i like these guys alot, and they can hold a note singing. I wouldn't say that if someone can hold a note they can really sing. Just sayin. pinback stills rocks though, because they can't necessarily sing impeccably but they still use their voices as instruments. THATS awesome
well i mean this is like one of there first shows, i mean thery never even jammed togethwer before this wat can u expect, i think it sounds youthful and nostalgic, you have to look at it with a more optimistic view dont be ready to critisize all the time
I'm finally done with the DVD compilations that i was putting together. Converting all the old shows i filmed onto DVD. Ended up being two discs - 1 HV compilation and 1 THINGY comp.
The HEAVY VEGETABLE dvd comp has 80min worth of rare live stuff...
Pinback is made up of professional musicians Expectations are naturally higher for for them than some random joe off of the street. Same thing for football players or other entertainers. Yeah, they might have a bad night or drop the ball, but you have to be able to do it when the cameras are on at least SOME of the time and not just in a contrived situation (like a studio or during practice). I would like to see a video of Pinback actually nailing this song live, if there is such a video.
This really reminds me of XTC. Nice song ideas, contrapuntal melodies and clever instrumentation like 2 basses, although I think the Alembic is piccolo bass.
I pray that they remain underrated. I'm selfish, and they wouldn't feel so exclusive to me if they were super popular. But they're way talented, just awesome.
