These guys absolutely killed it! I would recommend you see them if you have any interest in this band. They played a great mix of old/new stuff, and had great stage presence.

I had never heard of Now, Now, but they sounded great! I actually ended up buying their CD after the show. Circa Survive was very energetic, and though they're far from my favorite group they put on a pretty good show as well. Minus the Bear was stellar. They sounded even better live than they do on their studio albums, and I expected the opposite. Dave created all of the special effects during the show and used his feet and hands to control the clips on his DL-4. They had a great stage presence, and as we were leaving we ran into them around back of the music hall, said a few words and they thanked us. Easily one of my top three favorite concerts I've ever been to, awesome, awesome band.

Now, Now was great, Circa was even better, and Minus was freaking amazing. It was the best concert I've ever been to and I would highly recommend seeing them. When they come back I'm going to be there.

This was my 5th year in a row seeing Minus the Bear @ The Glass House in Pomona CA. All 5 shows in November coincidentally enough (except for 1 back in march of 2009 which was supposed to have been held @The Glass House, but was cancelled and rescheduled for 2 days later @The Fox Theatre right across the street from The Glass House). This was by far the best of those 5 shows. Everything from the sound, the lights, the ambiance, & the setlist was perfect. Their selection of songs played was incredible. With a new album recently being released (Infinity Overhead), you would think that the majority of the show would consist of songs from that album. That was not the case. Although a handful of songs from that album were played, their setlist was an hour and a half long. So they played songs from every one of their albums it seemed. It was absolutely fantastic, and the people who came along with me were a perfect addition to an already stellar show. The bar has been raised from here on out. I will now judge all of their future shows against this one. And its going to be hard for them to top, but if any band can do it, they can. To describe the show in the least amount of words possible ;Face Melting, Baby Making Music EPICNESS!

Minus The Bear played an awesome set covering songs from tgeir past 3 albums. I liked that they didnt talk too much between songs and kept the show moving but didnt ignore the audience, there was still plenty of interaction.

All three bands were at the top of their game, the venue was modern, clean, and classy. One of the best shows I've been to. The sound was great, the people were respectful, and the staff was excellent. I would definitely go again.

I went to this show because of a live radio broadcast of the band on Santa Monica College radio. I enjoy ther sense of music, and the band's sound is very unique. Most indie rock bands seem to be indie for no reason, but MTB makes their own awesome indie sound work for them.

Minus the Bear is always a must see act. They are interactive with the crowd and push out major sound on stage. They are notorious for ending the show but then coming back to do a three song encore.

I've loved Minus the Bear for a really long time and this was my fourth year in a row seeing them live. It was by far the best one yet in my opinion. I loved the atmosphere! The opening bands were also incredible. I will definitely be going to their concerts for years to come and I hope to visit the Variety Playhouse many more times as well!

Definitely one of my top five concert experiences. I attended the show with my girlfriend and we were right on the stage in front of the keyboardist and Dave Knudson on lead guitar. He plays so well and to see him first hand with our viewpoint was easily worth the $22!
They played for almost 80 minutes and then came back for an encore of 3 songs. Amazing amazing show.

Some bands or singers don't sound so well when they are actually live but minus the bear sound even better live! They played their new album and some old songs. They have so much dynamics in their playing. I didn't know how many different instruments and things they use!

A must see show. Although, most people have no idea who this band is, they are worth seeing in concert and getting to know. the mainstream music is garbage and most people buy into it without finding out what actual music is.
