Grizzly Bear Extend Tour
Photo by Jana Green
Touring bands, you could learn a lot from Grizzly Bear. Every couple weeks, they duck out, play a few gigs, hypnotize a few minds with their lilting harmonies, and then head home to Brooklyn to pay the bills and water the lilies. Then they do it all over again. Some groups head out for seasons; Grizzly Bear only leave the house long enough to fill up the TiVo. And still, there's at least a 60% chance you've seen them since Yellow House dropped late last summer. We call that a winning formula.
When they're not getting their neighbor to feed the cats, the collective Grizz is supporting worthy causes, making their own music out of someone else's words, or-- in the case of Chris Taylor-- helping Dave Longstreth find the Fela hidden in Black Flag. When they're gone, however, they'll be at the places after the jump.
