The iconic indie rock duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell is known for many things, including an epic three-decade partnership, a newly revived “Dial-a-Song” service and their successful branching out to create child-friendly tunes. Nevertheless, the band’s latest album, 2013’s Nanobots, is all about the throwback grownup appeal. Plan accordingly; this show has a 14-plus age restriction, so you can expect the Johns to bring their quirkiest heat.
