my brother gave me burned copies of all their albums for my 16th birthday in December 2008. i started listening in earnest one week in the following spring and immediately fell in love.
that same week, my dad took me and my friend to see Foo Fighters at the Key Arena. we got up to get a snack and i hear the muffled sounds of the opener working their way through the hall when it hit me: it was Minus the Bear and they were playing the intro to Knights.
my friend and i did a 180 and ran back to our seats to see them play. just a great memory.
