Bear-man update

Bear-man were gutted to have to cancel on the 26th Nov supporting 'Truckers of Husk' @ Clwb Ifor Bach, due to Phil having an arm injury.
After much physio, arm strapping, and powerball activities we were able to play a 30min set at Dissonance 1, mini-fest @ The Croft, Bristol on 3rd December. Many thanks to Paul and Rich @ Burial Chamber, and everyone involved.

I've just finished the artwork for our next release - Doppelganger cs due to be released sometime soon on Knifeinthetoaster.com. This cassette contains a mix of studio and live tracks recorded this year.

I spotted these Biker-Santas looking curiously glum outside The Croft.

Misc Bear-man stuff

Many thanks to Paul Swann,(Burial Chamber) and Noel Gardener,(Lesson number one) and everyone who turned out on a Monday night in Bridgend. Here's a bad quality photo of Nik Turner mid-improv, and his battered Saxophone.

Bear-man - Mobile Improvisations at traffic roundabouts

We've just finished filming part of an exhibition by Richard Higlett entitled 'Welcome To Your World' which saw Bear-man improvising inside a Sonically re-vamped Ford Fiesta, (The GPS - Gallery of portable sound) whilst journeying to, and circling several traffic roundabouts in the alignment of the ‘Great Bear’ astrological constellation, involving much giddiness, noise, and confused/angry reactions.
Bear-man will perform alongside the film of this event at the exhibition preview on 30th Sept, at The Dairy, Pontcanna, Cardiff
