A band known for an exhilarating live show and a devoted fan base developed through extensive touring, Minus the Bear are very excited to announce a headlining tour in support of their new album, OMNI, out May 4th. Beginning April 19th in Spokane, WA, the Seattle-based quintet will embark on a 6-week national tour and introduce new material from their upcoming album. To get fans excited, Minus the Bear are now offering first single, MY TIME, for free download at omnithealbum.com. With deep bass lines, provocative lyrics and use of the Japanese Omnichord synthesizer, MY TIME, is an exhilarating song revealing new layers in the band’s songwriting and inimitable musical style. OMNI is the band’s Dangerbird debut.

Produced by Grammy Award winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, My Morning Jacket), OMNI is the follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed albums MENOS EL OSO, PLANET OF ICE and HIGHLY REFINED PIRATES. These releases saw Minus the Bear winning over legions of fans and critics with a sound that is uniquely their own. With a growing fan-base (one that has generated more than 13 million plays on MySpace), Minus the Bear have continually captivated concertgoers with non-stop world wide touring and stage stealing performances at festivals such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, Soundwave and more.
