new artist - KYNAN!!!

2011-02-15T12:53:00.000-08:00

Welcome KYNAN to the grizz fam!!!! Super stoked to have this little laptop wizard busting out some cool jams for us. you NEED to immediately go check out his cover of Prince's Purple Rain, here featured on ALTERED ZONES. his album, "Try Harder" ~~will be posted this week~~ IS POSTED HERE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD! and check out the follow up "Birthday Blues" which will be released feb 28th.

i have been going through and trying to upload all the grizzly releases as free mp3 downloads because we basically just want more people to check out all the stuff we got to offer over here. if you like it, show it to friends, blast it in your el camino, go see a show, or maybe even buy a physical copy... totally up to you.

unfortunately the grizzly site has been a huge pain for hosting said mp3 album zip files so it has been a long process. so far i have BoomSnake's "Re/Visions" and Nature's Kid's "LOOPS" available for free download. Expect KYNAN's "Try Harder (January Mix)" to be up asap followed by the other releases.

Johnny Whopper: DUDES - King of the Hips

2011-02-04T15:06:00.000-08:00

Johnny Whopper: DUDES - King of the Hips: "DUDES is an elusive solo-project or group project from San Diego. Their only page contains no information on who or how many people are in the band. It certainly seems that some of the members from Da Bears have something to do with DUDES. But all of this doesn't matter. With an EP due out at some point this year, DUDES have created some sweet tunes that are rather endearing. Until NARCISSISTS ANONYMOUS comes out, dig on the above mp3 and this video."

201111111111111

2011-01-10T12:33:00.000-08:00

The new year brought some exciting stuff for us. Da Bears called it quits but DUDES rang in 2011 with their first show at a packed Tin Can Ale House with D/Wolves on New Year's Eve.

Algernon Cadwallader has also graced the west coast with their presence, heading from San Diego to Seattle in early January. Their show is just as amazing as ever. if you get a chance, you should really go check em out. They are playing pretty much all all-ages shows for as cheap (or free) as possible.

Nature's Kid - LOOPS - GR009

2010-10-20T17:04:00.000-07:00

This is the newest Grizzly release, and lucky for you, we have decided to make it a FREE DOWNLOAD album from our website.

Nature's Kid's LOOPS album is the result of NK mashing, dissecting, looping and doing various other aural transformations to a library of pop hits spanning the past couple decades. Cruise over to the LOOPS page and download the album for your listening pleasure. If you live in the San Diego area, check out NK sparse, but existant, live shows coming up.

"Nature's Kid chops up and plays around with creations that he finds in his own iTunes library, until he ends up with his very own and unique, glitchy electronic sound" - nofearofpop

D/Wolves - One Good Reason
D/Wolves - Pretty Wolves

New Mexico > Apes of Wrath

Apes of Wrath have disbanded only to reform as New Mexico. We had been talking of a possible 7 inch with these guys, never happened, but their new music is pretty sick so you should check it out anyway.

Da Bears on hiatus

2010-06-21T15:24:00.000-07:00

After 6 years of existence, Da Bears have decided to take a break for the time being while members focus on other life aspects. Ryan Solomon (Vocals/Guitar) posted this statement on his facebook

I'm pretty damn proud of the 5 dudes I've shared the stage with in Da Bears for the past year. I'm bummed that this news is coming out so last minute, but tomorrows show at the Casbah is going to be the last time we all play together for a pretty long time. Garrett's already in Germany, and has plans to start grad school when he returns. Justin landed a sweet promotion at his job and has plans to move to Long Beach next month. EJ is interning at FuelTV and is spending a lot of his time in LA. Trung is working full time trying to become a millionaire by the time he turns 21. Needless to say, I'm not necessarily in a rush to try and replace these people who have become such integral parts of the band any time soon. On that note, I want to encourage as many people as possible to come witness all of us on stage one last time.

As anyone who's followed Da Bears over the years knows, this isn't the end, because there can be no end! Despite not having plans to play shows anytime in the near future, I already have my hands full with recording the next Da Bears full length. After that, I couldn't tell you what comes next. I just want to thank the people who have been so supportive of the project from it's inception, and those who have influenced its existence by helping me bring it to life.

Other things to look out for:
Nature's Kid - LOOPS. I know some people already have their hands on it, but the official release of the album is coming very soon. By that I mean, the album will be available digitally for free, with a music video, and instructions on how to get a hard copy. If you thought no more Da Bears shows meant no more annoying event invites, sadly that probably won't be the case. Nature's Kid "live" is coming into reality for the first time ASAP.

Bear Pack 4 life!

- Ryan

Da Bears ARE currently in the middle of recording a new album. We are working on releasing a Da Bears & D/Wolves 7 inch split in preparation for a full length. It's title, release date and physical format (if any) is unknown.

We've met some amazing people through our Da Bears medium over the past years and would like to thank anyone who ever went to a show, set up a show, let us crash, made us food, drank with us, slept with us, and put up with our general lack of moral decency.

Da Bears New Jams

James Rabbit - Perfect Waves

2009-05-22T13:39:00.000-07:00

The new James Rabbit album entitled Perfect Waves was released last month and I haven't stopped listening to it since. The Santa Cruz ever evolving line-up's broadwayesque theatrical take on indie pop is filled with tons of hooks that will keep the songs in your head for the rest of the year. The whopping 20 tracks add up to just over an hour of quarky, motivational and fun-filled happiness. They released them for free on last.fm, but uploaded them HERE incase you don't dabble with the .fm.
