TV On The Radio @ U.S. Open Of Surfing (Huntington Beach)

While surfing and Brooklyn hipster-rock royalty TV On The Radio aren't necessarily an immediate association, it's a better fit than you think. After all, the band's high energy dance-ability and playful song structure have always helped them keep their sonically intense sound and sometimes heavy subject matter from becoming overwhelming or stifling, and that underlying funkiness slots in well with an afternoon party on one of Southern California's nicest beaches. And even leaving aside the fact that there's no wrong time or place to see one of this early century's most highly-regarded indie acts, there's one hell of a bonus: their show this afternoon alongside chillwave solo act Toro Y Moi is absolutely free, presented by Nike as part of the major surfing competition happening on the nearby waves. So if you're not doing anything this afternoon, there's really not a better place you could be. [Details] [via]
