Oxford, just outside of Cincinnati is a throwback to an earlier time: a temperate rainforest inhabited only by animals. Here, bald eagles, gray wolves, and salmon live undisturbed by civilization, and a rare subspecies of bear, almost invisible anywhere else, has been allowed to flourish. Oxford is the home of Ghostbear.
Ghostbear is an otherwise ordinary American music group who, thanks to a recessive gene, is born with white fur and the ability to melt faces with distincly incredible music.
This bear is a genetic abnormality, but not an albino. Where an albino would have a white nose and light-colored eyes, Ghostbear has a brown nose and eyes, and an unprecedented ability to make the other animals dance.
In Oxford, Ohio, the bear population has been isolated for so long that this recessive gene for white fur and danceability shows up in large numbers: one out of every ten bears is white. In myth, the raven created the ghost bear.
A more fanciful explanation of the bear's origin comes from the Tsimshiam people, who once lived inside Oxford. Long ago, the story goes, the world was covered in ice and snow. One day, the raven, the creator of the world, came down from heaven and turned the world green, as it is today. But as a reminder of the time when all was white, the raven went among the bears and turned every tenth one the color of snow. The raven decreed that the white bear, which the Tsimshiam call Moksgm'ol, would live forever in rock history.

Hey guys ! I guess we just keep missing each other on the gigs in O-town....guess you'll have to talk to Nes and Torch (Rick) about that. Seems like I always gig the night before or after you play at the Balcony or Stadium...sucks. However, I'm sure we'll get to hook-up soon. btw, LOVE the new tunes!!!! Stop in at Johnnys music store "Off the Beaten Path" on Tues or Saturdays and say hi sometime. I'm guitar techin' there part-time now.
people fucking suck, and tonight (the KILL CITY/TINGE/GHOSTBEAR show), our twelve week old bar kitten, jack, was stolen right out from under us while other chaos ensued.
any information regarding whom it is that has the kitten, that ultimately helps with his safe return, will be handsomely rewarded.
please help us - he is a member of our family.
