It isn't often that Bar Pink sells advance tickets for events, but when they do, it's usually got something to do with co-owner John Reis. As is the case here, Swami has curated a local music compilation, "Hardcore Matinee," and to be expected, many of the artists on said compilation will be at Bar Pink. If you missed out on tickets, you'll have to go elsewhere tonight, perhaps to see the Younger Brothers at the Casbah, the final night of Pennywise at the Observatory, or catch Booze & Glory at Soda Bar.
