Seattle, Washington’s indie math rock all-stars Minus The Bear are hanging it up after 17 years. As sad as that news is, they are going out with a bang: they have announced a US farewell tour starting this October. Supporting acts on the final tour will be Caspian for the first leg and Tera Melos for the second leg. On top of that, Minus The Bear will be releasing their final EP Fair Enough under Suicide Squeeze Records on October 19. Lastly, they have released their first single off of Fair Enough, the title track, which you can stream here.
You can read the interview in which Minus The Bear announce that they are calling it quits here. Fair Enough will feature four songs, which were being worked on during the recording of their last LP Voids from 2017. The EP is available for pre-order here. For their final tour, Minus The Bear promise to dig deep in their catalog. This tour will be a one to remember! Check the dates below to see which show you will be catching; I’ll see you there!
