Minus the Bear Announce Break Up, Final Tour & ‘Fair Enough’ EP

Minus the Bear will close the book on their nearly two decades as a band with a farewell tour this fall.

Their melding of genres and innovative use of pedals, loops, and electronic elements in their music has been a defining contribution to indie rock in the mp3 and streaming era, and an influence on the band’s peers and those that followed in their wake. In tandem with one last tour of North America, Minus the Bear will release the Fair Enough EP. The new single “Fair Enough” can be heard below. Fans can pre-order the EP now via smarturl.it/mtbfairenough, and The Farewell Tour VIP pre sale (VIP tickets include meet & greet and exclusive VIP items) will launch tomorrowWednesday, July 18th at 10 am ET via vip.MinustheBear.com.  All tour dates listed below.

** Statement from Minus the Bear **

Friends,

After almost two decades of writing and touring the world together, we have decided to close this chapter of our lives as Minus the Bear.

What started as a silly inside joke inside the dingy confines of Seattle’s original Cha Cha Lounge back in 2001 quickly snowballed into years of adventures, creativity, and friendship. We could have never predicted the wild journey about to begin. We’ve accomplished so much over the past 17 years, and we are grateful for the experience.

Undoubtedly we owe all of these adventures to you, our fans. Without all of you, the memories of traveling the world, exploring different cultures, and witnessing the delight of your beautiful faces singing along wouldn’t have been possible. Your support weathered us through storms that easily could have scuttled the band. Throughout the years, it’s you who kept us going. We cannot thank you enough.

This Autumn we head out on our final tour in support of our upcoming 4-song EP “Fair Enough” courtesy of Suicide Squeeze Records.

These final shows are a celebration for the community of fans who gave us so much through years of dedication. We’ll be digging deep in the MTB catalogue and we are honored for the opportunity to play our hearts out for you one last time.

Love,

Alex, Cory, Dave & Jake
