Van Frenzy / Bridge over the River Taff Revisited

Apu from The Simpsons turns hardcore chicken killer

An unnecessary clamping

A random introduction

I've recently spotted more vintage graffiti on this bridge over the River Taff, Which is a monument to classic rock. These big-haired fools must have crawled up into the underside of a bridge, to risk their necks in a feckless attempt to corrupt the good folk of Radyr and Danescourt to some heavy seventies sounds.

Pink Floyd, Deep Purple

Led Zeppelin

Rush are Ace, AC/DC Rule, and an obscured Black Sabbath,

Bear-man: Nazi Ufo Glade Video

This fantastic video for Nazi Ufo Glade was created by Ian Watson (Phanthomhead/Uh-oh/Team Sports/etc) 'using some archive footage and some video feedback and datamoshing techniques'.
The result is a staggering visual free noise psych-fest.

Bear-man August Round-up

August was an interesting month for Bear-man. A trip to Upset The Rhythm's YES WAY Festival in The Bussey Building (an ex-cricket bat factory) amongst a post-riot heavy police presence, and a impromptu Silurian detour on the way home. Some great photos of Bear-man at YES WAY can be found here.

Thought Forms

We also played an event organised by The Rusty Trombone of God/The Joy Collective in Buffalo Bar, Cardiff Alongside the Mighty Primordial Undermind, and Thought Forms who were Incredible!! (We're hoping to do some future events with Thought Forms, they are insanely good!) Check them out here. 27 Minutes, and 18 seconds of Audio from Bear-man's set at Buffalo Bar will be available soon.

We've confirmed a short set in a pit at Pontcanna Dairy in  Cardiff on September 20th, and a mobile sound event in and around Cardiff Bay which should yield some unusual/strange results (More details soon,) we're also currently in the process of recording and mixing material for our next release, another Cassette maybe?
