Roger..
Give "Planet Of Ice" a try before moving on to "Omni" or "Infinity Overhead"
If you're starting to get into "Highly Refined Pirates"...I'd HIGHLY recommend POI!!!!
:ugeek:

You nailed it with Planet of Ice - loving it

Roger,
I'm glad you're liking it...
I'd go for "Omni" next!!!
And if you have Palladia...
Look for the episode of "Live From Daryl's House" featuring MTB from a few weeks ago!!
I'm starting to get excited to see Minus The Bear's show with Circa Survive here in Columbus on March 6th!!
:ugeek:

Sweet - Omni will be next! I do have Palladia, but I do not think I have ever seen this show. Maybe it's on On Demand?

Pretty interesting show!!
It's Daryl Hall from Hall & Oates...
He brings different artists / bands to his home studio and they play a few songs together!!
They are "Minus" a few of the "Bears" for this episode, but it's still a pretty darn good.

Sweet - I'll definitely check it out. Well, I was on the fence about going to see a Minus the Bear local show since it's on a Tuesday night, but I just pulled the trigger and bought one. Pretty stoked. 3/26

I was able to watch Live from Daryl's House the other night - pretty cool stuff. I'm pretty excited about seeing them live in about two months.

I also checked out OMNI. Probably my least favorite out of the albums that I've listened to so far, but there are a few really solid tracks on it. My favorite album is still Planet of Ice, closely followed by Acoustics

Kind of on the short side...but still a GREAT SHOW!!!!
I think that may be because they are co-headlining now with Circa Survive.
The setlist was pretty darn good:
1.Steel and Blood
2.The Fix
3.Secret Country
4.My Time
5.Absinthe Party At the Fly Honey Warehouse
6.Knights
7.Diamond Lightning
8.Toska
9.I'm Totally Not Down With Rob's Alien
10.Listing
11.Double Vision Quest
12.Pachuca Sunrise
13.Drilling

EVERYONE needs to see Dave Knudson play guitar at least once in their life...I've NEVER seen a guy have SOOO much fun playing guitar, He's just AMAZING!!!

Here's a few pictures from the show:

Picked up some GREAT VINYL at the show too...I posted this in the " I just picked up _____ on vinyl!" thread, but thought I'd share it here too:

Highly Refined Pirates on CLEAR VINYL / limited edition of 1000 copies

OMNI on 180 gram GREEN & BLUE MARBLED VINYL

They had a nice SLIP MAT with artwork from INFINITY OVERHEAD too!!!
