BAND DISCOVERED
I most likely discovered Minus the Bear through my activity in the forum of the German music magazine Intro, which unfortunately ceased to exist in 2018. In the 2000s, Intro had evolved into a major German pop culture network. Without it, I would have missed out on so much. Drilling and Pachuca Sunrise grabbed me instantly. Minus the Bear became one of my favorite bands. On the occasion of the album’s 20th anniversary and the band’s return to the stage, I dug out my old version from back then. Nothing special—but full of memories.

BESIDES THAT
All three Minus the Bear concerts I had the chance to attend were unique. What incredibly great musicians.
