Luckily, there’s no better way to stave off bummer feelings of looming death than reveling in the glory of a long-beloved record played live on stage. And few albums can deliver the nostalgic fuzzies quite like the Get Up Kids’ Something to Write Home About. On its 25th anniversary, its forever young pop-punk heart and anthemic undeniability have etched it into history as a touchstone of Midwest emo.
A special bonus for all you emo lifers is that very underrated 2000s band Hot Rod Circuit will also be there to stoke those golden memories. Come drink from the fountain for a night.
7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7, House of Blues, $30-$75.
