I saw them last year and I had to see them again and once again they were absolutely amazing and sounded incredible live! I highly recommend people to see this band. I was also happy that they played Pachua Sunrise original ver.; not the acoustic version. Definitely running out and buying the new Album coming out and seeing them again in Spring!! Awesome Show!!!

This show was really worth going to, especially considering the price, this show was a bargain. Minus the Bear and As Tall as Lions really put on an insane show. Definitely one of the best shows I've been to.

Minus the Bear is a great band. They have groovy tunes and insightful lyrics. And they seem to be pretty popular as this was the first show of theirs I was able to get tickets to -- read: they sell out a lot. But despite this popularity, and for whatever reason, I saw them in a bar last night. A bar is not a "real" venue for a concert, and the Crazy Donkey was packed to the hilt, making my experience extremely uncomfortable.
Now, I'm also very into metal, and I've been to shows with mosh pits and crazy fans, so I'm used to being smushed against people, but Minus the Bear isn't that kind of band. I was expecting some breathing room, at least; maybe not to get consistently elbowed in the chest by the couple in front of me. It's good that you're enjoying the show, I'm happy for you, really... but for the sake of my boobs, could you move a little less? Thanks.
Moreover, I didn't even get my ticket as a souvenir as "Will Call" was a girl with a printed-out list of people who had bought tickets. No booth, no computer, no credit card machine; just a clipboard.
Minus the Bear themselves performed well, but if this is a trend of theirs, to ignore the size of their following and play in too-small joints with only one bathroom, then I'll just have to enjoy their music from the privacy and comfort of my headphones.

I've been a big fan of minus the bear for the past 4 years now and this was my first show (drove from Jersey to see it). Majority of the set was Planet of Ice but also through in the must haves from Menos El Oso and Highly Refined Pirates. Encore song was Pachuca Sunrise. Sound was great at the crazy donkey, you could easily differentiate between all the musicians and instruments. All in all it was amazing and I will be seeing them the next time they're in the tri-state area.

I'm at a lack of words to describe how amazing the show was. It was everything I ever dreamed of and more. They played over 15 songs and it was exactly the entertainment I expected from such an amazing band. Flawless

I saw Minus The Bear last night at Club Firestone. One of the best show's i hae seen. Played all the most amazing tracks were very into it. The crowd was great. Anyone who hasn't, should make it a point to see them live...often!!!

The show was sold out. My boyfriend and I were among maybe 3 couples over 40 in this crowd. My 20 year old son recommended MTB to me over 2 years ago and I have been a hardcore fan ever since. I have been to many concerts in my life but I have not enjoyed one as much as this one. The only thing I didn't like is the venue was way to small!

Minus the Bear are incredible musicians and their live shows are no exception. The Glass House in Pomona is a smaller and more intimate venue and i got to see them up close. Great show, good sound, and lots of bars and stuff to do in the immediate area. I also brought a painting I made with me and the band signed it after the show !

They played really well. The new songs sound fantastic and interesting. The 'old' songs sounded just as good as ever. Singer's voice started cracking second song in but it was more endearing than annoying. I am a big fan and this show has gotten me very excited for the next level of Minus the Bear.

Let me start off by saying that the band was great. Apart from the bass player looking deathly ill, the band performed well and they were very entertaining. Much more than I expected given what I've heard about the band's live performance. What was concerning, however, was the length of time the band performed. I didn't go to see the opening acts, rather I paid a lofty $25 to see Minus the Bear, so when they perform for only an hour and 15 minutes I can't help but feel that I didn't get what I paid for.

Minus the Bear has a monopoly on talent. I had come from a string of dance pop concerts and after the 2 opening bands I wasn't sure if I was in the mood for some moody rock, but as soon as they started playing I knew the answer was yes. Now a days it's so easy to hide behind autotune and techno-y beats it's nice to listen to a band with genuine skill. They love their fans and their fans love them.
