Minus the Bear -- FREE INSTORE

Minus the Bear In-store Performance
Friday, August 24th, 7:00pm ** Wristband Event **

Minus the Bear have made quite an impact on the math/indie scene, with technical wizardry and a keen sense of humor, they neatly encompass a blend of an art-rock Fugazi style mixed with the goofiness of your first keg party. It's a very rare treat that they've decided to do a few in-stores to set things up for their Fall tour, which is scheduled to last for something like two years, and with the early buzz they're getting, it might still leave folks hungry for more. Word is out and we're expecting a capacity crowd, so if you're holding out to decide, it's getting to be that time. Get your wristband with pre-order of Planet of Ice.

Some recent press:
"Minus The Bear's brightly appealing indie-pop may be dispensed with remarkable technical prowess -- complete with precise guitar work and complex time changes -- but it also benefits from the band's sweetly personal lyrics and flair for writing power-pop hooks...Planet of Ice maintains an organic quality that allows the songs' innate catchiness to shine through"     - NPR WORLD CAFE

"Take a musical journey with this new song from Minus the Bear's upcoming album, Planet of Ice. The track begins with a hint of ambient electronica, then jumps into choppy Gang of Four territory. When lead singer Jake Snider enters, you may imagine you are listening to...Roger Waters!... and there's more than a touch of the Floyd lurking in the Bear's honey pot. Listen to the repeated guitar figures while synthesizers squeal in the background. True to the Bear tradition, the song's strange title is left unexplained." ["Dr. L'Ling" track review]     - LA Times
