INDIE ROCK IN MEMORIAL FIELDHOUSE >>>
The indie music landscape has shifted quite a bit since Minus the Bear formed in 2001. "Indie rock," as a label, is murkier than ever with the dozens of subgenres and mashups that have sprung up from cracks in the cement like so many gangly dandelions. Chillwave, shit-fi, ghostly R&B, hardcore manifestos - a plethora of new and interesting ways of expressing musical creativity that fly in the face of the polished indie rock paradigm. Bands like Minus the Bear and the disappointingly static Death Cab for Cutie have been faced with the accelerated evolution of music and have been given a mandate: evolve or face extinction.
Minus the Bear will play at the University of Puget Sound Memorial Fieldhouse Friday, April 8.
