The Pretenders will make their debut on PBS’ “Austin City Limits” TV show this weekend, and you can watch an exclusive preview of one of the songs, their 1983 Top 20 hit, “Middle of the Road”.

Take a look:

In addition to performing that classic, and others like “Back on the Chain Gang,” “Brass in Pocket” and “Mystery Achievement,” the Pretenders also played “Alone,” the title track to the album they released last year. The group just released an expanded version of Alone that adds a second disc of 15 live tracks they recorded on tour.

“One thing that hasn’t changed in almost 40 years, Chrissie Hynde is still a bad ass,” Austin City Limits executive producer Terry Lickona said in a press release for the episode.

The Pretenders’ episode of Austin City Limits will premiere on Oct. 14. Check the show’s website to see details, and see the band’s set list below.

Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
