Name every BEAR band in existence

Indie rock has found it's mascot. I guess.

Panda Bear
Grizzly Bear
Bear In Heaven
Solar Bear
Minus The Bear

bear force one

Art Bears
Volcano the Bear
14 Iced Bears

this is a crucial question and i am glad you had the courage to ask it.

I try my best.

Indie rock has found it's mascot. I guess.
I do think this ^^^ is a bit of an odd thing to say when it could be equally levelled at many other animal tropes, but hey, I'm a sucker for this sort of list.

14 Iced Bears are awesome.

Disappointed that this isnt about fat, furry gay rockers.

Oh crap, can't believe I forgot Bearsuit.

Bipolar Bear

my friend in Akron is in a band simply called Bears. apparently they are touring?

Oh crap, can't believe I forgot Bearsuit.

The first thing I would do, had I previously heard the band name Bearsuit, is try to forget the damn thing...

i like how no one is questioning the existence of any of these bands

these bands are gay

(except for Bear Force One)

i've always assumed big bear of big bear 'doin thangs' fame was good, but i don't think i've ever heard anything of his

these bands are gay

THE BEARNAKED LADIES ARE NOT GAY THEY ARE A GIFTED COLLECTIVE OF CLASSICALLY-TRAINED MUSICIANS WHOSE MUSIC IS PLAYED AT FRATERNITY HOUSES ALL ACROSS CANADA.

wkiw Bear Force One.

xxp I've never heard him either but I always envisioned him as like a 4th-rate Too Short or something.

thank you for the correction Daniel, Esq.

Les Lunours (which translates as 'the moonbears'): http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J2-_lhLHFMo/RqAAikWbQEI/AAAAAAAAADw/OiwoKd14eLM/s320/Lunours-Moonbears.jpg

Mr. Bungle

Eh? What has Mr. Bungle to do with bears?

http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/45236000/1674442

Google "Rainbow" wiki and disambiguate to kids TV programme.

xp (different Bungle, but if ^^^ this Bungle had a bit of a strop on then he might insist on being called 'Mr. Bungle')

omg @ bear fractal

Well, just because there is a bear named Bungle (who apparently is not in a band, nor is he a solo singer or an instrumentalist) doesn't mean the band Mr. Bungle was named after him.

Well the band were named after a puppet in a PIF, who wasn't a bear. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make joeks.

also, higher res version of Fractal Bungle...

Kilgore Trout were great, wd dearly love to hear some of their stuff again.

Bobby Brown Bear

L. S. Bearforce

Bears from the Happy Mondays

Kilgore Trout were great, wd dearly love to hear some of their stuff again.

Not long ago I found myself with an urge to hear "Gas Electric" by Coping Saw again, and I found that Chris Trout has a website with a music player on which streams a bunch of stuff from all his bands (I think). So, you could try there.

http://misterchristrout.com/ or http://misterchristrout.com/kilgore-trout/ for a direct link to the Kilgore Trout page.

Think I bought a single by B.E.A.R. on otherwise indie-tastic label Where It's At Is Where You Are thinking it was Chris Trout's Bear, except it was some bedroom electronic stuff which thankfully I thought was pretty good at the time.

this is prob "Bear Pop/Rock 60s" from that list at the top:

BSNY

hey, sorry to break up all the beary puns, and i know there's not gonna be a definitive answer, because sexual orientation doesn't necessarily lead to particular music choices, but what kinda music do bears listen to? i live in the bear neighborhood of SF and see all the clubs around and wonder if it's like punk, metal, cock-rock, like their look might imply, or if it's more stereotypical 'gay' music. cheesy dance, top 40, etc? a lot of the dudes are older so that might play into it?

all the bears i know unfortunately like yr typical dancing queen stuff however i once bumped into a friend whilst i was carrying a rainbow live dvd and he told me how much he liked ritchie blackmore in the 70s, what happened?!

in my mind they sit around the campfire listening to CCR or bob seger

I have a couple of bear friends -- one listens to country and top 40, the other listens to indie rock. (Probably not helpful.)

pattern is movement

I knew a bear once who had the Frankie Goes to Hollywood logo tattooed on his calf – he was my hero!

I worked with five bears, and they all listened to different things.

One bear bar I used to go to played as much rock as they did pop dance music (but not club music, thank god), but it depended on who was spinning. Another place was usually playing low key dance music (not that anything that was going on could be called dancing).

Then again, back in the '90s an editor at Bear Magazine and I traded cassettes of West Coast post-minimalist Daniel Lentz. I think we both hated "gay" music.

Bear Bar would be a great band name amirite
