It’s summer and nothing feels greater than just laying in a hammock with a nice tall can of PBR. The breeze blows your hair into your face as you near napping and the smell of neighbors’ bbq will surely supply the tastiest of dreams. A faint noise appears from your home, it seems as though someone threw on some early Unicorns; the drums are sped to the point where you can’t tell if they’re man or machine and with such playful nasal falsettos there must be some type of party going on indoors. You continue on the brink of napping until curiousity overwhelms your sense of audibility and this music must be experienced fully. Upon entering home it isn’t the Unicorns, and it isn’t pre-electronic of Montreal…it’s Da Bears!
On Thursday, May 28 FMLY will present our first event of the summer: Respect The House Party. Among the playahs will be San Diego’s Da Bears, a grizzly-pop band that we just can’t fucking get enough of! Seriously, it’s like someone dipped these guys into a cotton candy machine and the result was a combination of all of our favorite sounds; bells, kick-ass drums, embracing melodies, get on the dance floor riffs, and I can continue if ya’ll wish. Da Bears have been sweet enough to allow FMLY to post their new record Classics Never Die / Cowardly Cobra for download in its entirety. If you like what you hear, buy the album for $8 here or at our house party next Friday! Big ups to Daniel Atkinson for allowing us the use of his home, respect the house party.
