The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Radiation City was a lovely force, relentlessly touring, playing their guts out all over the US, Canada, Mexico, and EU for the seven years they were a band. Their DIY approach made lasting connections with those who listened and attended shows. Now, after seven years apart, and after much change in their lives and the lives of those who enjoyed their music, 4 of the members have decided they will play again and rekindle the magic they once created (and 2 of the members have also decided to get married).

Highlights of the bands' time together include: opening for The Flaming Lips on the the Waterfront in PDX in 95 degree weather and then dancing in costumes on stage for The Lips' performance; playing in Tijuana for a packed house in a backyard transformed into a projectionist's dream; performing at an art museum in Vienna after procuring a vintage analog synth in the countryside; house-sitting at a farm and recording their third record, then building a historic Thanksgiving Turduckin with a selected trio from the chickens, ducks, and turkeys they had helped take care of.
