Minus the Bear Drummer Leaves

2015-01-30 by HenchmanOfSanta | 26 Comments
Despite an impending tour this spring, indie/math rock band Minus the Bear
announced on Thursday that their drummer, Erin Tate, has left the band.

The following note, posted to the band's Facebook, has been reproduced below because Facebook
is for old people.

Quote:
Friends,

It is with heavy hearts that we regret to inform you that due to personal and creative
differences Minus the Bear and Erin Tate have decided to part ways.

Erin is one of those rare talents and we consider ourselves lucky to have been able to share
the past 14 years with him since this band first started. His creativity, talent, and drive
undoubtedly helped get Minus the Bear to where we are today. We wish him the best of luck in
all of his future endeavors.

The band will continue touring and we are currently working on the follow up to Infinity
Overhead. 2015 is going to be an exciting year and we look forward to sharing what we have in
store.

- Dave, Jake, Cory, Alex

Knudson better get his creativity/composition back on point, Tate was the other 50% of what made this band good (once).

Not hard to see this coming, his drumming took a noticeably huge step backward on Infinity Overhead

That's too bad, he's a killer drummer. Too bad this band has also been on a steep decline of quality music lately

Shame. Great player. Lacked some versatility on their last release but still solid. Let's hope whatever they put out next goes back to MEO/POI quality.....or, Dave K could just do a Botch reunion, ya know...
