Minus The Bear: Australia inits sight

Thu 22nd Nov, 2007 in Local News

The more distant you get in our solar system, the more the planets tend to be covered with ice; from the lunar South Pole to the rings of Saturn, the substance seems to coat the outer reaches of our universe like a snowy blanket.

Alternately, for the past six years, Seattle’s Minus the Bear have orbited the music world like a distant meteor, fine-tuning their unique brand of indie rock and discovering how technology can help enhance the band’s unique pop vision – all of which has culminated with their latest full-length Planet of Ice, an album showing the band not so much transforming their sound as transcending it.

Minus the Bear’s globally conscious outlook has been influenced by the amount of time the band spend on the road, seamlessly pulling off their song’s sonic intricacies live on festivals like Coachella and Bamboozle. With that philosophy in mind February 2008 will see Minus The Bear sweeping the Australian landscape for the first time.
