Just because they enjoy writing 'thoughtful songs about girls, drinking and life' [according to their wikipedia profile] that doesn't mean that they remain one-dimensional. In fact, for the past 10 years they've been playing and touring--they have taken on a much larger scale of responsibility.
Minus The Bear is just wrapping up their 2011 tour and plan on returning home to Seattle where big stuff is happening. "Well, we get home in November, our drummer Erin [Tate] gets married right away, Dave [Knudson] has his first child in December, and then in January we'll begin recording again," says singer/guitarist Jake Snider [no relation to Dee Snider...].
We all have to grow up sometime I suppose. But if that entails massive album sales on their latest 'OMNI', I'm sure they're not complaining. For even more evidence of maturation, Jake's was kind enough to share his band's top 10 favorite songs of moment. Certainly an eclectic list for the adult in all of sus:
- Charles Bradley - No Time for Dreamin'
- A Tribe Called Quest - Show Business
- Dead Can Dance - Bird
- The Dream - Mr. Yeah
- Nine Inch Nails - Ruiner
- Elton John - Passengers
- Russian Circles - Mladek
- Nomo - My Dear
- Adele - He Won't Go
- Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne
