[B]MINUS THE BEAR[/B]
[I]w/ The Honorary Title & Chin Up Chin Up
TICKETS: $13 ADV / $15 DOS[/I]
I'm sure you've heard of Minus the Bear before. The banter usually goes a little like this: "Oh, their songs are totally funny. They sing about kickin' it like wild donkeys." For anyone cares, Minus the Bear might be the best band in the world, but the full scope of band's achievements, for the most part, seem to have fallen on deaf ears in favor of stabs at one-dimensional song titles. In the simplest terms, song titles are not the focus of Minus The Bear; it's the music, it always has been. With their new album, Menos El Oso, The Bear reinforce that focus and expand on it, ushering richer narratives, refined production, and emotional breadth into their sound. The song titles are more subtle, the lyrics, more thematic. The rich syncopation and calculated, but lush, musical arrangements remain-only they've been cultivated. Think early Police, add a dash of Prefuse 73's electronic subtlety, tons of intricate musicianship, heaping mounds of sincerity and a few emotional outbursts made by ex-members of Botch, Kill Sadie, Sharks Keep Moving, and producer Matt Bayles (Isis, Mastodon, The Blood Brothers), now you're getting there.

rubbin it in ur face yd

big deal i've gotten used to the fact that they dont play east coast

[quote]btw do u listen to Sharks Keep Moving? I have an album of theirs...it's all right[/QUOTE]

i've heard some songs. despite only having the singer in common (right?) they sound very similar to MTB. good instrumentals too.

yea I think they're mostly instrumental...and yes they sound a lot like MTB

yeah but more epic ... at least "Sailor" is...

the LP is jazzy and nice i would recomjed it

So my uni is having a concert tomorrow:

Dashboard Confessional
Diamond J & the Rough
The Apathy Eulogy
One Third Dork

I am quite looking forward to Diamond J. Not sure about the others. It only cost me 2 bucks so it's cool.

Cool.

I saw Elf power and Cloud Cult the other night. It was a good show..

yeah it was

Yeah

I found a pinball machine downstairs so between sets I played Monster Bash pinball.

woah weird i played pinball that night there too

Were you the girl trying to sell people earrings?

yeah.

lol

Onion A.V. Club picks its saddest songs. kinda dumb but its mostly alt/indie stuff so you might like to know

There are some good songs on that but none of those are really sad or anything

I liked the Leonard Cohen pick. Great song.

Seeing the Ergs tommarow, and the Drunken Cholos, wo are the Queers original line-up before they were called the Queers, and it's their first real show.

It's gonna be a pretty good time.

i hate you

♥♥♥

I was wanting to go see Patti Smith but then I found out tickets were £25 and I wouldn't be able to afford it.

But I'm seeing Battles soon so woo!

I'm seeing Sunn O))) and Boris in a week. It's about the noteworthy show of the month.

I wanted to see The Wildhearts but £15 is too much to ask for.

Sunn O)))? Have fun messing up your bowels.

Sick, tell me how Boris is. I'm thinking about getting tickets to see them when they come to the U.S..

I'm hoping they'll do two seperate sets and then one together or something. That'd be pretty sweet. I imagine whoever's opening for it will suck though.

man that would be ****ing sick to see sunn live.

definetly tell tell about the show after, k.

I wanted to go to the Sydney show, but I'm not 18 til July :(

Enjoy, tell us all the details. Will be awesome no doubt.

I don't particularly like Sunn on record but they'd probably be awesome live

Ah! We've caught you in your lie.

Hi Crumb.

sup crumb

hello crumb.

I can't stand Sunn O))). Boris played here a while back, but I didn't go.

I just found out that Sonic Youth are playing in Glasgow the same day I'm going to London to see Slint!

So I'm selling my ticket for Slint in London, and buying the ticket for the Glasgow Slint gig - and now I can see Sonic Youth twice. Fukcing excellent.

ps Sunn O))) are amazing live

thats quite the good deal

Why would you skip out on Slint to see Sonic Youth twice?

I would be so happy if Slint came to Australia.

I still get to see Slint. It was a matter of choosing who to see twice, and Sonic Youth are better than Slint so them.

i want slint to come to my home town

Ah. Fair enough then.
