A global marketer's ad space might not seem like the most likely venue for a beloved indie rock band to play a concert—except maybe in an act of protest.

Nonetheless, TV on the Radio popped up on the corporate circuit Wednesday night, taking the stage in front a Heineken Light billboard in downtown Manhattan for a short show that received minimal advance publicity

The concert, organized by Heineken creative shop Wieden + Kennedy, New York, with assists from production house Relevant and public relations firm MSL, continues the brand's new "Occasionally Perfect" campaign, a series of efforts to cast the beer as the appropriately quirky drink for alternative fashionistas and their alternative gatherings.
