Minus the Bear May 5, 2008

Though the song titles may lead one to believe that they're a novelty act, Minus the Bear provides polished, shrewdly arranged songs. Finger-tapped guitar riffs mixed with catchy melodies and unexpected time changes keep listeners interested and entertained. Minus the Bear has built a loyal fan base through extensive touring and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. The Big Sleep are a band from New York touring their recent release, 'Son of the Tiger.' Portugal the Man is a soul/progressive/grime trio from Wasilla, Alaska.
