New Bears CD EUREKA

[nysbob]

Great stuff ! I have a few of your "records", and IIRC, I really dug "Figure it out". I'll have to plug in the phono and revisit them. I'll look for you guys if you get near L.A.

I'm keeping fingers crossed, bro. It's been way too long since we've played the golden state.

Thanks - I wrote the bulk of that tune!

 

[Freaky Fender]

Dude, that little burpy line you play on the third song in the sample is so CATCHY! I'm listening to it on a better setup and I can hear it so much better now.

(Oh, I don't know who came up with the design, but my father absolutely adores the picture where every member is holding up a rickenbacker guitar, so kudos on that )


Ninja edit: Oh, and please please please play somewhere fairly close to Boston, if Providence is too much to ask.

At last- new music for Mature People w/ Big Brains! Or is that Big Girls w/ Big Glasses?
Haven't heard a note yet but I'm gettin' some. See you @ Martyrs unless you make it to Madison.

A lot of the girls are wearing contacts these days.

I'm afraid Martyrs is as close as we get to you this time. Hope to see you there.

We were told WXRT is getting behind it, so that should be a good night.

Hey dammit! Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Pittsburgh!


The 27th... I'll be there AND be square. I'm stoked, I just accidentally discovered this. Pollstar.com has it listed as "Adrian Belew" so I checked his website, it's a Bears date. I'll find a way to make it down there (2 hour drive, but well well worth it!)

Awesome - it's an early show & we always come out and mingle afterward - please introduce yourself!

Will do man, you'll be the guy playing bass right?

Unless they fire me between now & then, yes.

can you drop my name? Not to jump in your grave or anything... but it's a killer gig you've got there

They can't let me go...

I know where the bodies are.

It would be much more of a killer gig If we got to do it more than once every 5 years.

Thanks Bob. I look forward to picking this up! ...no date for a Philly show, too bad.

You guys need to reissue the old stuff. The first is one of my all time favorites period and has been a creative inspiration for me personally. I used to have it on vinyl but now it's gone.... anyways, thanks for all the great music!

Thanks for listening, amigo. I am holding out much hope that we will be expanding the gigging later in the year and make it out east. That will largely depend on how the cd does, though. I'm glad we're an independent entity, but sometimes I miss having some label support.

Hey Matt - did you make to the show?

 

[Matt Till]

Unfortunatly no, and I'm still really bummed about it. Sorry I didn't tell you, I had it marked on my calender so I didn't forget, but right now I'm essentially without a car, without a job, and certainly without cash so I couldn't make the 2 hour drive. I told a few pittsburgh friends to check it out and I hope they did.

Hope your shows have been going well.

We just finished the last one for now. We did 8 dates in 9 days. I haven't had that much fun since the last time we did it.

 

[Larry99]

I just wanted to resurrect this thread and say how good this new record is. Upon first listen, I liked just about every tune and usually when that happens I tire of things quickly. However, Eureka continues to grow on me more and more with every listen.

Wonderfull bass playing and just really creative and intelligent songwriting ...Bob's songs in particular are some of the best on the record! I'm really hoping you guys make it to Philly at some point.

thanks for the great music!

 

[nysbob]

Hey, thanks very much Larry - I appreciate that.

We have an invite to play on the David Dye's World Cafe - we're trying to see if we can put a few other east coast dates around that so we might make the thing profitable.

I love the freedom of not having a label, but it's sure tough promoting something with zero support.

Ahh I love the music bizness!!

Cool! ...hopefully you'll do an evening gig at their club/venue too which is a really GREAT room (pretty sure Adrian's played there a couple times). I'll keep my eyes/ears open.

peace,

[James Hart]

The disc is still in regular rotation with me... it's standing the test of time. Just solid playing & songwriting throughout.

I'm an hour east of Philly.... If that's as far East as you can make it... I can live with that

 

[nysbob]

I'll be sure to thump it here once we get something nailed down. I'd love to meet y'all!
