Thank you for being our friend. We hope you can make it to the theremin festival in Lippstadt. It's going to be a great time.

(If you have any theremin playing friends, don't forget to tell them about this - they won't want to miss it.

AHOI THERE!!
We're playing at the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes in London this Sunday, May 20th.
There's about 6 bands on the bill and it starts at 5pm. You can bowl and booze and fill your ears with all our new songs from our forthcoming album (and some old faves!).
AND we've made some new outfits which are pretty damn cute!
We hope you can come, love from BEAR HQ xxx

Just getting back into the swing of things recently, as our drummer has just returned home for a while after being away for ages in Thailand. Haven't played "Summer Babe" for a little while though, so I reckon we'll have to re-learn it!

First experienced your lovely sounds via the John Peel show (along with many others), completely bowled over by 'Girls Are The New Boys'.
We've recently been performing a dumbed down version of 'Impact' (with me trying to sing falsetto!). I'd like to post our version with your permission!

in response to rapscallions message Adam Cresswell is currently sitting in an office, at his desk, playing spider solitaire (intermediate level) whilst intermittently staring out the window at the dead bird hanging from the tree outside.
