Bearries!

brsk Bearries!

Bearries, an experimental electro-dance outfit out of Chicago, make exciting live-electronics based music that is refreshing to the ear, and I can only imagine how they must sound live. Based on some of the footage and pictures I've seen on their Myspace page, I'm sure they put on a hell of a show.

There's just something about seeing electronic musicians live on synths and drum machines, twiddling knobs and pushing buttons on actual pieces of equipment that make a performance that much better than just say, seeing someone in front of a glowing laptop like they're checking mail in front of an audience (No disrespect to anyone btw, it's just more fun watching shows when musicians use real music equipment!!!)

Bands of the past like Throbbing Gristle and Kraftwerk (both of which I've never seen, to my dismay) to newer acts like Wolf Eyes, Meat Beat Manifesto, Solvent, and Adult. (all of which I have seen) do this well, inviting the audience to a more intimate and personal performance with every sound they command out of their machines, and in a way it seems Bearries do this well too… if you ever get a chance to see them live, do so!

Here are two of their tracks, both almost around ten minutes each. These are amazing electronic excursions! Enjoy!


MP3: Bearries- Explorer One


MP3: Bearries- Jaws

    SIK!
  • Peaches
    Sick.
  • Evan
    I've seen them play live a few times. They're alright and it's more impressive since they're generating everything live, but the noise gets old quick as it lacks variation and just gets beaten into the ground.
  • hella big wigs!

  • dogfootje
    Um i saw them open for spitzer and danger... in chicago and they fucking sucked.... um thats about all they are terrible live and they are not very neat people either...
  • MISSINGTOOF on WATM's favourite.

    Bearries <3
  • I agree with you about live shows. I saw a group called the blastoids play in my friend's living room and the show was amazing. They had computers and keyboards and cymbals and fucked up microphones and they were the absolute shit. I think they have a myspace page, you should check them out/feature them if you like them. They deserve a little exposure.
  • BBEmusic
    This is what you call music nowadays ? its hideous... why would you even post that on such an awesome website, two thumbs down to bearries it SUCKS!
  • Jeff Amphetamine
    Total Garbage!
  • Jan
    I can't dl any of your mp3, file not found thingy.
  • mikeeeeee
    ya i have not been able to get on the site for like a week and now when i get on the mp3 dont work...

    whats goinnn on?
  • mikeeeeee
    also there have been no post since oct 27
  • justin
    godamn these bearries kids bug the hell out of you until there's nothing left. i'm very surprised to see them on missingtoof. their music blows.
  • @ justin:

    hah. me too! they asked me a lot then basura put it up.
  • to everybody who's asking what's up with missingtoof...

    last month the site made about a lot less than it costs to run so we had a major stumble. on top of that your appetite for free music was 2 terabytes over what we pay for, and it's like cell phone overage, those extra gigabytes are expensive.

    Just paid one of the servers for the year, got to pay the other one for the overage of last month and next month.

    Disaster and I are hustlin' and we'll have it back up in a couple weeks if not sooner. With some better planning (and hopefully better economy) it won't happen again.

    While we're twiddling our thumbs, I've been building a better site. You can peek in on it here: http://missingtoof.com/?theme=acid right now it's kinda fucked (buggy, may take a long time to load, may even crash your browser, who knows). I set up this working framework here: http://missingtoof.com/sort.html . The RSS icons are temporary images that serve as handles allowing you to move columns around via jquery sortable. The order is written to a cookie and the order is saved and restored upon return visit. Any Jquery programmers who love to troubleshoot i'd love to hear from you! Between the working framework sort.html and the other link I tried plugging in all the wordpress stuff and that made things not work. I'm still massaging things, trying to get sortable and the cookie to play nice with wordpress' php templates. I Only fiddled with that part for a couple hours, only half-way knowing what i'm doing. Any javascript/php gurus in the bloghouse? Holler at me.

    Even if all that was jibberish to you. I'm love to hear suggestions about what features you'd like to see. My goal is to make the text information we present, easier to skim through in a way that is tailored to the user. As far as the music downloads, my goal is to present files in a way that gives more attention to audio quality in 'blog culture' by displaying metadata prior to download.

    Additionally I'm setting up a webstore, flux community, and perhaps last.fm support for streaming. Are these good ideas? Are they bad ideas? Should we go a different route?

    We're still ambitious and still love blogging about music—y'all just made us majorly broke this month! Let me slang these Gpacks and get my money right, I'll holler at you on your googlereader. one love.
  • Jan
    Okey, hope it'll all work out. Love teh blog
  • Thank-you for all the good posts and continue to feed us. Hope all goes well with MISSINGTOOF.COM.
  • Guido
    This is a great blog, i found it by recomandation and i couldn't lieve it anymore!! i'm from argentina and I hope that you can fix this problems and keep providing us with exelent music !
  • FUCK THESE GUYS.
  • Donny Berretta

  • looking forward to your return toof
  • LordFunkenstein
    Is there a way to donate to you guys?
  • sam
    miss missingtoof :(
  • BAWB
    it's my birthday it's my birthday it's my birthdaaaaaaay!!
  • Sean
    Damn im glad to see the site is back. i 'bout shit a brick when i tried to get on here.
    here is one suggestion...maybe users can donate? id be willing. not too much, though. i am a poor college student. But,you guys have given me too much awesome stuff, i would feel guilty seeing you all go down like this.
  • Anonymous
    Dude. Pleeeeeaaaaaaaaassssseeeee update! kthx
  • The new link to the 'in development' page is scary. Don't let it look like that when you're finished. I have maybe, some common ground on which we can all meet: Can you leave out the files for a couple of entries while you get your shit together, and in the meantime just give us some reviews and recommendations? The silence is just too awful to bear(ries).
  • Thanks Everybody For Such
    A Great Response On These Old Demos!

    We very appreciate everyone tuning into our music.
    We have gone through much change in sound + setup

  • Superb Weblog!

  • Miss the Missing Toof, set up a donations page or find some cheap ass cloud storage! <3
  • mad ones
    MISSING THE TOOF. im sure it wil be worth it once the new sites up and running it looks like it will be tooooo sick. ADD DONATIONS, PEOPLE WILL PAY. it cant be that hard if thousands of asians can get up sims 2 download sites with them...

    ps. these bearries demos suck tits. ill give their "We have gone through much change in sound + setup" demos a try just for kicks since the toof is down and indiekrush wont get a solid post up...
  • Bearries could ease off the suck factor by not making 4,000 myspace bulletins every hour.
    I don't even know who these fuckers are besides people who make a million stupid repetitive bulletins on my site everyday, so it follows that I really dont give a fuck about their new XLR cables or perms or whatever the shit those faggots have going on.
  • alex

  • bearries suck
    stop plugging mixes and start bashing bearries again! they are the 12-year-old "take us seriously" wannabe soulwax. they kiss so much ass and suck so much balls to try to get gigs.

    they even landed on a justice gig. wtf. must be a pretty homo promoter.
  • redbiscuitsbitchenmenagerie
    Bearries are just the start of shitty bands/djs that plague the Chicago music scene...kid color/sklyer/yello fever all non creative garbage..basically anyone that has serato and a pair of turntables think their the next flosstradamus. If anyone is in chicago please stay away from Sonotheque & Debonair these places have gone downhill the staff sucks and they have the same shitty djs every week. Go to smartbar the potty mouth crew throws down some of the best sets in chi-town. Sorry to bash but I say it as I hear it.
  • brett

    how do you embed songs like this onto a blog post? I'll be starting my own blog and I want to put music on it too
  • lol
    bearries are such trash, awful.
  • I remember MT was down around this time last year.

    The first digital vinyl set I ever did was NYE last year. I've used alot of 'Toof tunes in the past year, doing house parties for my friends. As someone who does web design work, I know how bandwith can become an issue. As a DJ, I really love sites that let me download MP3s. So I empathize with you guys, but having downloadable mp3s is the biggest reason I come here.

    I'll be waiting, checking in occasionally. Goodluck.
