Radiation City hopped on Spotify's big green bus and cruised up to North Portland's Peninsula Park to play "Hide from the Night" on the playground. This solid, lovely performance speaks for itself; taking the band out of a rock club and making them perform without a PA doesn't even put a dent in the power of Radiation City's lush sound.

The band played their last local show of the year last week—their last local show of their own original music, they say. Which means there may be a cover night on the horizon. A music video for "Hide from the Night" is also on the way, plus they're working on a new Radiation City album for Spring 2013.
