The End.

We split up. No final show, no fuss, no explanation.



2008 - 2009 isn't much of a legacy though.


Endless amounts of thanks to the people that matter - you know who you are.



Our tour with Hair Traffic Control was possibly one of the best weeks of our lives so anyone involved in that in any way; thank you.

If new bands happen we'll let you know. Right now we have to figure out what to do with all the leftover merch.

Bye.

Luke, Nathan & Jake

A Big Ol' Update..ish

Right, so we just did the world's shortest tour with Pharaohs. It was lovely and we all agree that those Pharaohs boys are very attractive men. They make some alright songs too...

Thanks to anyone who watched us/bought hot bear merch in any places where we played and got sweaty. It was very sweaty. I was so moist.

Now we've decided that we need to write a whole bunch of new stuff to stop us going insane or something, so we're not gonna play any gigs now until probably around Autumn-ish.

That's a bit gay, yes, because playing shows is basically the best part about being in a band, but we're gonna come back better, faster, stronger than we were before. 6 Million Dollar Man Stylez.

We might record some stuff between now and then. I hope we do... Fingers Crossed, eh?

See you after HiBEARnation. (Ugh... Puns.)

Not posted in a while...

Still booking our tour with Pharaohs, I just found this old picture of A Bear taken when we went for lunch after our first ever practice. Awwwww.



Clearly we didn't know where to go for lunch.

Also, we're gonna try and record at some point this month! That'll be lovely.

Bye for now. See you soon. Love you xx

RRRRRADIO BLAH BLAH!

Ok, so we've been on the radio quite a few times over the past couple of days, and that has certainly been strange, but frankly quite ace. At time of writing, most of the iplayers and things no longer have us on 'em because time moves fast n' shit.

However, you can catch us on Tom Robinson's BB6 Podcast which you can download and keep forever by searching it on itunes or clicking here! Probably not for a massive amount of time, mind you.

We also got two tracks played back to back on the 'Double Pack' Feature POPSCENE with Jalal on Radio Weser in Germany, which was a lovely thing for him to do. So thank you to Jalal! You can hear his show at www.popscenewithjalal.com
So make sure you do that. (It's in English, by the way)

ALSO! We're going into BBC Towers in Manchester on Sunday night (May 10th) to have a live chat with Sam Walker on her Introducing show, so make sure you listen in to that at www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/introducing between 11pm and 11:30pm! We'll talk about exciting things, I'm certain.

Thats all for now.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

TOUR NUMERO 2!

Yeah, I reckon we're gonna tour again in July, no proposed dates yet but it's on the cards.

At least we're gonna attempt it - we're gonna try and play more dates than we did on our first tour. That'd be rad. Want us to play somewhere? Get in touch.

thisisabear@hotmail.co.uk

In the meantime we're gonna try and record some more stuff, also we've been on the radio lots recently. I say lots, about 4 times. It's a lot for us. The BBC seem to quite like the cut of our jib, or something.

Thanks specifically Huw Stephens, Tom Robinson and those involved in producing the respective shows.

Thanks to you for being you - go join our mailing list. The form is on the myspace.

Kiss Kiss. xx

Label stuff and Free Music!

So we're on this little DIY label now called Dapsone Records. It's the brainchild of our good friend Joe Penny of Helsinki Seven fame and should hopefully vomit up a few nice treats for your eyes and ears.

We're planning a proper release for this year, which will be just dandy. To kick things off though, download this free 10 track sampler by clicking here! Here's a pic of the cover to gawp at.


Our track on there is called 'The One That Did' it is the exact same song we've been giving away free with the mailing list and is also the song that got played on Radio One. Sorry about the lack of exclusivity - we don't have that many songs recorded!

We'll record more soon - as soon as we've finished writing it.

Love your local Bears xxx
