Minus the Bear plus a local home town show at the Seattle Showbox Market equals a great way to spend a Friday night. Ending their North American Fall tour hometown style in front of fans that made everything possible was the way to say bye to the 2013 touring season.

The performance Minus The Bear gave to their home town was nothing short of remarkable. By some fans standards it was worth a big thumbs up (check out the photos to understand). After traveling across the country, playing sweaty clubs every night, and sleeping in tight quarters you would think it would wear a person out. But not these guys. You would have thought it was the first night of the tour with the amount of energy and creativity thrown into their performance. I always say a band with zero musical ability can “WOW” a crowd as long as their presence on stage is remarkable. For Minus The Bear they have both great musical talent and an intense stage presence. A mighty explosion from the being with Burying Lick and Lies & Eyes to a adrenaline rushed finished with Pachuca Sunrise. There was little room for rest during this pure rock show!
