Minus The Bear Album/Tour Info
2009-09-09 by Alex C. Murderface | 61 Replies | 1272 Views

Minus the Bear are planned to release their new album in early 2010, which is yet to be
titled. The band will also be releasing a 7" single on vinyl and digital formats on
October 27th, featuring a brand new song "Into The Mirror", and a b-side "Broken
China".

Guitarist Dave Knduson says ""This album has more scope than the past records, some songs
are more poppy and immediate while others expand on the complexities we're known for."

The venues and cities are really strange. If they weren't playing that date in NYC, all of the other
dates in my area would be terribly inconvenient for me.

Tijuana/San Diego. Pamona shows are only worth it if the band is really something else.

But they're playing Oceanside so... no need this time.

aids, go to the Seattle show.
