Pinback

Civil Society is proud to announce the first ever Australian tour of Californian indie rockers Pinback. Comprised of two principal players: Armistead Burwell Smith IV (Zach) and Rob Crow, Pinback started as a part-time endeavour back in 1998, when Zach's band Three Mile Pilot went on an extended hiatus and Rob found time away from his other musical interests (mainly Thingy and Heavy Vegetable). After recording their critically acclaimed self-titled debut, released by Ace Fu in 1999, Pinback became a fully realized project.In 2004, Pinback unveiled Summer in Abaddon, their debut record for Touch and Go, which hit the scene like high tide gliding in, whirling around listeners, full of beautiful intensity. Known for unusual time signatures, and an interaction between instruments that creates almost mechanical continuity, Pinback write songs that are deceptively simple. Don’t miss your chance to catch these indie stalwarts as they hit Australia for the first time.
