Minus The Bear is hitting the road later this year for a 20th anniversary tour around their Menos el Oso album. Minus The Bear has now announced openers for the tour and there are certainly a lot of 'em. The tour kicks off on October 4 at the Roseland Theater in Portland, OR and wraps up with two shows on November 28 and 29 at The Showbox in Seattle, WA. Tickets are available here.
"'Menos el Oso put us on a trajectory that none of us were expecting," wrote Minus The Bear of the trek and the album. "There is a 'before 'Pachuca Sunrise' video' moment in time, and then there is an 'after 'Pachuca Sunrise' video' moment in time. It seemed like once people heard that song, and saw that video, everyone went straight to Limewire, Napster, Soulseek, BitTorrent, etc. and shared the album immediately.
"Celebrating the twentieth anniversary of something this monumental in our lives is a gift. Having the chance to appreciate it with our fans, families and fellow bandmates while we are all alive and kicking is an opportunity I can’t wait to embrace."
