Bio
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. .. ......make....your....profile..cool......MySpace Editor.... .. If you are interested in Friendly Bears merchandise or recordings, please visit Tim Byrnes' MySpace page (in 'Top Friends' or myspace.com/timbyrnes). There is a small online store there where you can get stuff. You can also download "On Oceans, Light, and Sleep" from iTunes. .. Please don't contact us through this MySpace page. It is checked approximately once every 3 months, and that gap will grow as time goes on. Rather, go to Tim's page for further contacting instructions.
