Plug Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 11/06/09 Bear Hands North of Watford All The Damn Kids The Basement Project BEAR HANDS … the group you wish you were in.” – NME "Riveting, devil-may-care rock" -Spin.com Bear Hands prove they have everything it takes to make it massive in 09” –Rock Sound Press has been off the hook in the US and the UK for their debut 4 song ep “Golden” which was produced by Andrew Schneider (Cave In, Pelican) and their March 2009 “What A Drag” 7” release on the Too Pure Singles Club. Even with a guitarist still in college (he graduates this week!) they have toured the UK twice, most recently with Passion Pit and Hockey and have done many short tours all along the East Coast and up to the Mid West – they have been fortunate enough to share the stage with bands such as MGMT, Vampire Weekend, Ra Ra Riot, Ambulance Ltd, Cursive, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Le Savy Fav etc They have done radio sessions for NME Radio, Daytrotter and WOXY and have had extensive play in the UK on BBC Radios 1 and 6. In August 2006, Dylan Rau (vocals/guitar) brought together Ted Feldman (guitar), Val Loper (bass) and TJ Orscher (drums) in a small NYC practice space. The original plan was to flesh out some demos Rau had been working on but each quickly saw and heard the potential for a band; a band that would be unique sounding yet widely accessible. Focusing on the rhythm and percussion that Orscher and Loper bring, they strive to bring the driving beat to the foreground and to marry it with the contemplative lyrics of Rau and inventive guitar lines of Feldman. This musical creativity combines and combats ideas set forth by pioneers of the rock genre.
