Friendly Bears began playing together in Fall '00
(under the name Osos Amistosos) as a trio. In their
5-year existence, they have been able to emerge from
their free-jazz roots into a style of new avant-rock
music that represents strong foundations in punk,
classical, metal, and jazz music. The Bears released their debut EP, a split 12"
record with Philadelphia's Infidel?/Castro! on the
Ricecontrol and Epicene Sound Systems in '02. The compositions are
an infusion of hardcore energy and melodic
counterpoint.
In July of '05 Friendly Bears released their debut full-length record on Brooklyn's Pralaya Records,
"On Oceans, Light, and Sleep" which is rooted in their
older style, but also augmented by new sounds, ideas,
and instrumentation. Also in existence is a split 7"
record ("The Streamwinner 7") with Asheville, North
Carolina's Ahleuchatistas (made possible by Angura
Sound and SAID Records). Please visit www.friendlybears.net for more info/sounds.
