Minus The Bear Adds Tour Plans


John Davisson
– Minus The Bear
Forecastle Festival, Waterfront Park, Louisville, Ky.

Minus The Bear has released the first single off its upcoming album and is planning a trek around the country to introduce fans to its newest tunes. Beach Slang, Bayonne and SAND are coming along as support.

The new song is titled “Invisible,” off the upcoming LP Voids, which is due out March 3. That endeavor will be the band’s sixth studio album, and is being released through Seattle indie label Suicide Squeeze Records, who the band previously worked at the beginning of its career.

The tour opens March 10 in Boise, Idaho, and features Bayonne and Beach Slang for all dates except March 10-12, which will have Sand instead of Bayonne. The run has 29 shows in 29 cities, so if you are excited about seeing them, act quick. There is one festival appearance in the plan, with Maverick Music Festival in San Antonio adding Minus The Bear on April 8. Things finish up in the band’s native Seattle on April 15.
