PRAISE FOR MENOS EL OSO 20TH ANNIVERSARY

“…a near-perfect album that found Minus the Bear operating at the absolute top of their game.” 

– BROOKLYN VEGAN

“…crisp, calculated, and linear…”

“From Menos El Oso, I’ve learned to see the beauty in the pangs of longing, in the pressures of work, in the fear of loss. After all, “this is the difference between living and not living.” 

– THE LINE OF BEST FIT

Seattle’s Minus the Bear are a legendary force in the indie rock landscape, straddling hooky songwriting and experimental sophistication. Today, the band announce a tour across the United States’ South, East Coast, and Midwest. They will play Shaky Knees Festival and share stages with Jimmy Eat World and Keep, nodding to their roots and legacy in equal. The dates are a continuation of the Menos el Oso 20th anniversary tour, which received a deluxe reissue on Suicide Squeeze last August.

On the tour announcement, David Knudson from Minus the Bear shares: “We had way too much fun playing Menos el Oso on the Fall run last year so we’re gonna do it again! This time we’re hitting some of our favorite towns that we couldn’t squeeze into the last itinerary plus we just couldn’t pass up a chance to play with Jimmy on their Bleed American tour. See you in September!”
