Friends, it's been grand, but we've decided that it's time for us to go. Big Bear has played its final show, and soon we will be no more.
We're leaving you, but we're also leaving you something: Joyful Noise Recordings has just released our final EP, See Out, as well as our second full-length, Under the Beach. Please enjoy them!
Also, most of us are still musically doin' thangs in one form or another, so keep your ears out!
We'll continue to update this space/site if anything interesting happens.

Remember all that amazing stuff we said we were going to be selling on that tour we did in July? Well, now you can buy said amazing stuff from our website! Vinyl, CDs, MP3 downloads, even t-shirts. Crazy, but true.

We've been holding out on you, news-wise! But so, finally here are all the exciting new things:
(1) We have a new split 7" with Child Bite out now on Joyful Noise Recordings.
(2) We're going on tour this month with Child Bite in support of that very split 7". The first (Boston), last (Detroit), and Bloomington (7/16) shows on the tour will be record-release shows, wherein the door price gets you a copy of the 7".
(3) While on this tour, we'll be tour-diarying it up using #bigbeartour on Twitter, and aggregating the whole thing here. Feel free to chime in!
(4) In addition to the new 7", we'll also be selling -- for the very first time -- copies of our second full-length, "Under the Beach", as well as a new t-shirt design featuring Farhad's Thirty Birdies.
(5) We have a couple of new songs that Ryan from Ho-Ag really likes.

The awesome photo you see here was taken by Justin Snow. You can see more of his photos via his flickr stream and read more about the acoustic set on his blog. Thanks, Justin!

David (Altman, bass guitar) fractured both arms riding his bike last week. Thus, our portion of August 6th's blurstrock explosion with Ketman and They Shoot Horses Don't They? at the Middle East has turned into a five-man acoustic jam sesh. Come out and hear the new stuff on an acoustic guitar and a piano-ish sounding keyboard, dogz!
Also, we are going on tour in September. Come say hi!
