Fresh Track + Video: The Bears of Blue River “MES-44”
The Bears of Blue River is a Midwest project for whom Indianapolis serves as a home-away-from-home. The Chicago band stops through Indy frequently, and our humble music scene is all the richer for it. Last week, The Bears of Blue River released a beautiful, limited edition 7″ for their new single “Flamingo”, available via Nashville’s Rhed Rholl Recordings. The 7″ features a technique that Rhed Rholl has dubbed “ice scream splatter” which gives each hand-pressed copy of the clear vinyl a unique splash of pink color.
The b-side of the release is entitled “MES-44“. Listen to the studio version below and watch a stripped-down house performance from one of The Bears of Blue River’s recent Indy visits. The release is limited to 250 copies, so act fast!

Video: The Bears of Blue River “Cry Baby”
Avoca, Nebraska is the home of the annual Avoca Quack Off. I never thought that an event that honored the art of the duck race would be highlighted on this blog. The crazy world of independent music truly carries us listeners to the most mysterious of places. Chicago band and frequent Indianapolis scene crasher, The Bears of Blue River decided to add some of their folk flavor to this year’s event. Get in V-formation with your bearded friends and watch their performance of “Cry Baby” at this year’s festivities. Pick up their album Dames via Bandcamp.
