I'm not gonna lie. I know how hard it might be for you to know that you want to see a seminal band of your early indie-rock days like Minus The Bear, but you know that the show is at an all ages establishment where there is no drinking allowed. I realize this works as a conflict in your brain, but if you can do me the favor and remember what it was like when you were a backpack-toting kid and Minus The Bear was your favorite, you might be able to sustain the two hours to really enjoy the magic that is promised in tonight's show. Don't skip it. You seriously don't want to miss the ride the band is going to take you on tonight as they return for the 10th anniversary of Highly Refined Pirates.
