    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    Awesome band. Highly Refined Pirates and Menos El Oso are definite must-haves, as is the They Make Beer Commercials EP.

    I've seen them twice. They are pretty good, not mind blowing though. I listen to the first 5 songs on HRP about everyday. I'm surprised they aren't bigger.

    I saw them live in a tiny club it was packed you had no room to move at all shoulder to shoulder with everyone and it was so awesome.

    I really think these guys are underated. Love all their albums and they have the best song titles ever.

    I was planning on seeing them but I forgot the date and missed the show. But Minus the Bear is sweet I was scrolling through my music on my computer and came across Memphis And 53rd and I have no idea how it got there but im glad it was there.

    San Diego 2003
    Grand Rapids 2004
    Grand Rapids 2006
    Detroit 2006
    Columbus 2010

    I don't really dig on Menos El Oso much but Highly Refine dPirates is completely essential listening. "I los all my money at the cockfights" is gorgeous

    yay, i wasnt expecting so many to dig these guys.

    'They Make Beer Commercials Like This' is probably one of the greatest EP's i've heard.

    'Fine + 2 pts' is such an awesome song.

    Every song on "They Make Beer Commercials Like This" is very good. I love that band.
    I believe the children are our future... unless we stop them now...

    i just saw them this past friday and wow, they are great!!!!!!!!!!! do u guys see any pj influence on them? I certainly do. THeir lead guitarist definitely has got pieces of mccready in him. what a show. i'll definitely see them again, asap!

    Saw them this past Thursday at El Rey (Hollywood) with my great pal-around buddy. :) What a pleasantly surprising show (discounting the openers; sorry, but not my bag). Younger crowd, but that's cool with me... Excellent guitar work, and the band got tighter as the night wore on. Besides, who can resist a lime green t-shirt that says "MT Fucking B" on it? Not me. :D

    Is there any improvisation involved in their live shows? I love the drummer's jazzy technique and was wondering if they let him loose in concert.
