So its been a good long while since I've been on here. Mainly because there really hasn't been anything notable to blog about. We played a show with Dance Gavin Dance at our favorite venue, the marquis. And for the first time in Solar Bears existance we were not allowed to hang out in the green room. A sign on the door said "Dance Gavin Dance only!" so Marshall and I being the rebels we are disregarded the sign and went back there anyway expecting to see crazy bullshit rockstar antics... when marshall went back there nobody was back there and when I did, nobody was back there.
Weird.
Speaking of egotism (not saying dgd were egomaniacs... but certain people involved however... were.), I really don't like asking club owners about drink passes. I always feel like an ass doing it. "Hey bro, we gonna get free beer or what?" is how it sounds in my head even when what comes out is more like, "Ummm, hey man... are we uhh, is there... are there going to be any drink passes tonight?"
I guess I have to be more assertive with my desire to drink free beer at shows.
Our EP Modern Architects is available on iTunes and Amazon.com (in mp3 form only.) As well as at shows (in physical form only).
However our official cd release show is going to be Jan 15th at the boulder theater. Be sure you go! (Thanks to our friend Dan Sax for pulling his magic strings and making that possible.)

Pig Thyme or, The History of the Future pt. II
Homeless people are a curious bunch. Even if they're right next to you when you tell another homeless guy you're broke, they still ask for money. I saw the ex-military bum the other night... I see him everytime we play the Marquis. He was telling me he needs 4 bucks to get to Pueblo. I seriously doubt he has ever even been to Pueblo nor does he need to go to Pueblo.
As I told him I don't have any money, he got pissed and said one of the dumbest sentences ever, "I knew I was working for the wrong country... I should have worked for Al Queda!" (or however its spelled.)
For one, I doubt his military background so strongly its unreal and for two, al queda is not a country. Nor is it an orginization that would welcome a short, white, stupid piece of trash to come "work" for them.
Anyway....
We played a show with Heavy Heevy glow mow and Morse The Bland and So Many Dynamos the other night... and we killed it, as the kids say. We don't know what "it" is but we're sorry for killing it. "It" will be sorely missed.
As a result of our killing "it", one of the weirdest/gayest/un-dead-est(?) men in Colorado is now going to kill us. Mr. Maris The Great... that's right.
He said we're "dead".
Maybe whatever we killed that night was his and he wants revenge.
Whatever the case may be, we will soon be covered in fake blood and made to look like we've been the victims of a zombie attack and we couldn't be more excited about it. We love zombies.
Anyway (version 2.0)
The So Many Dynamos guys were super nice to us, their guitar player was talking to me behind the merch booth like we went to middle school together. So that was uncommon. Its sad that we feel weird when other bands are nice to us... so it goes.
I didn't really talk to the other bands... they scared me. HHLL mainly because I heard they have a reputation of being thieving, drunken ass holes... it didn't seem that way, they seemed like alright dudes.
And we pretty much forced a free shirt of ours onto the singer of horse the band. Mainly because he complimented us... I don't know why forcing free merch on someone seemed like a way of our saying, "thanks for liking us". But I think we eventually annoyed him because there was a mix up and we gave him a small when he asked for a medium. Then we tried to give him a different design that he didn't want in the size he wanted.
So cheers to that.
We annoyed one of the most intentionally annoying bands ever... good work.
Tonight we play another fun fun fun electro pop show so kids can stare blankly at us and be completely non-responsive.
Should be a good time regardless.
And its in wheatridge so no annoying pan handlers tonight! Score.
