Minus the Bayles, The Bear Carries On

01/03/06
. (Riot Act) Minus the Bear keyboardist Matt Bayles will be leaving the band he has played in since its inception to focus on record production work. His growing workload along with the increasing time requirements of MTB forced him to make a decision and, though saddened, the band wish Matt the best.

That being said Minus the Bear along with These Arms Are Snakes, the Blood Brothers, and Riot Act�s newest family member the Crystal Skulls will be playing at the Showbox in Seattle this coming January 28th for the Vera Project�s 5-Year Anniversary Party. You can also find the live version of "Drilling" from their recent KNDD 107.7 session on "Live From The Morning Alternative Vol. 2" a comp that benefits the very same Vera Project {http://www.theveraproject.org}, a music and arts center run for and by youth.

Following their hometown show Minus The Bear will set to work on promoting their new single, Pachuca Sunrise, by touring all year and releasing a new video. The band has also confirmed their headlining slot at this years SXSW and a full tour leading up to the showcase with Appleseed Cast and Crystal Skulls in support [dates TBA].
