Minus The Bear started performing at Hypocrite, a local bar. The band used to sell their records out of their car at local shows. The members of Minus The Bear met in high school. The drummer used to listen to his dad's cassette tape constantly as a child.

Minus The Bear plans to take some time off after the tour, allowing the group members to rest after a long tour. The group recently finished their new release, but they are thinking of what is to come next. Minus The Bear's new release has taken the band in a very new direction, with a less refined sound.

Often times, critics have commended Minus The Bear for their ability to energize the audience during live performances. Toby Zadra, a music critic from San Diego, has always been impressed with band’s great vocals. Minus The Bear’s newest project has received positive praise from notable music critics like Brian Gremillion and Miles DiSalvatore.

Minus The Bear’s first album did not sell well, but received critical acclaim. The second album was a hit and the band was saved from being released by the record company. The band regularly played at Cafeteria before making it to the big time.

Minus The Bear realized that the possibility of living life as actual musicians was a distinct possibility as soon as Rebecca Quaid started a fan club for the band in 1998. Starting out with just a few dozen members in San Francisco, the fan club quickly grew with band’s national tour and the launching of the group’s website by Donna Okerblom.

Minus The Bear appreciates that they are able to do what they love because of the fans, so they play the hits off their newest release as well as the classics. Every time the band comes to Detroit they are sure to stop at Comedian and play a show. The band’s tour schedule and concert information is outlined on TheSeats.com, along with the latest Minus The Bear tickets and seating charts available.
