Derek, Aidan, Ben, and Taylor (former Salty Dog) have formed a new band! It’s called…

26 Mar

Bear Lincoln. Yep. Bear Lincoln. Or Bare Lincoln if you prefer.

Just in case you haven’t received the memo yet, there’s a new bear in town. He lives at Bearlincoln.com and he dislikes global warming (amongst other things). Bear Lincoln is playing shows all over the San Francisco bay, and if you’re interested in reaching out – you can email booking@bearlincoln.com – to say hello!

Day 7: San Francisco show(s) announced!

28 Dec

We’ve got (not one but) two shows to announce in the city!

Wednesday, January 25th at the Brick & Mortar Music Hall (alongside Guy Fox - cd release – and Buxter Hoot’n)

Saturday, February 4th at the Brainwash Cafe (alongside Emily Moldy and Guy Fox)

Guy Fox

At this point, you may be wondering “Wait a minute, two shows! Well, who is this Guy Fox?” Guy Fox is a band from San Francisco. They’ve just recorded their debut EP and are friends of friends (therefore, they’re our friends too!). Their recorded music promises to be a blend of “afrobeat, motown, indie and psychedelia.” Sounds good right?

 

These shows should be a lot of fun, especially because we will be joined by the wonderfully talented Miss Emily Moldy for the latter.

 

Fliers coming soon, and we’ll see you at the New Years show!
