BEARS!BEARS!BEARS!

YOU GUYS.

this weekend, we will be heading back into the studio to continue work on our as-yet-untitled debut full-length. we will be moving from tiny telephone over to hyde street studios, where our ep was mixed, for the remainder of recording/mixing. scott mcdowell, producer and earth’s greatest living human, will be behind the boards once more. the spirit of papa john creach will be there as well, presumably, watching over us and guiding our every move towards psychedelic glory, and sneaking in sweet-ass fiddle solos, probaby.

we’ll be working on guitar and bass this session, then returning a bit down the road to do all the vocals and finishing touches, hopefully with a bunch of our friends in tow to form a big and probably drunken choir to lay down backing vocals and junk. however, we will be picking one song from the tracklisting to try and complete this weekend, which will then go on to be featured on “better days ahead, vol. 2,” the second compilation by our friends over at 20 sided records! it will be a sprawling, two-disc affair, with roughly a million billion amazing local bands that we have no business being mentioned in the same sentence as, quite frankly. there will also be a huge three-day release party over at kimo’s later in the summer, but more on that later.

in the meantime, those of you who are twitter-inclined can follow us at @bearsbearsbears, where we will be posting all manner of nonsense ramblings and studio updates and pictures of burritos and stuff, probably. of course, there’s always here, as well as facebook and bandcamp. but not myspace, right guys??* haha, SOCIAL MEDIA.

so stop by (via the internet) and say hello. help us figure out what to title our record! we are terrible at naming things! we named ourselves BEARS! BEARS! BEARS!, with exclamation points! THREE OF THEM!

love,

evan.

*actually, we still do have a myspace, i think. don’t tell the cool kids.

hi hi hi there.

i hope you have all been enjoying this delightful weather we’ve been having as much as i have, provided, of course, that you are like me, and love gloom and cold and rain, and also the ronettes. (side bar: HOLY SHIT new phil spector remasters next week! but more on that later, maybe.)

we’ve been laying low for the past few months, working on our first full-length over at tiny telephone, drinking chocolate milk, counting down the days til the release of pokémon black & white, but mostly just hibernating, as bears are wont to do this time of year. (though it’s essentially been spring here in the bay area for the last few weeks. upper-sixties in mid february? oh, california.)

well, now we’re BACK in full force, and we’re playing a show this wednesday at the red devil lounge in san francisco! it’ll be our first time playing the rdl, and we’re all pretty jazzed about it. also on the bill are lovely lady-and-gentlemen the better maker, as well as the apparently-shrouded-in-mystery-but-probably-still-lovely axe wounds.

r.m. of the better maker has put together this snazzy flier for the evening:

in other news, our bros-4-lyfe evacuee have just put out a new album called “property type: horse ranch,” and it is the greatest thing anyone has ever done, ever. they are seriously one of my favorite bands in the bay area or anywhere. you can listen to/download both their albums over at their website or on itunes, and you can also get our ep “what i do in the dark” over at our bandcamp page, or come by the show and pick up one of the snappy cd-rs that i put together all by my lonesome.

love,

evan.
