Bear Lincoln’s Homecoming Dance
Wouldn’t you know it? Bear Lincoln was born, raised, braised, bred, and fed in Berkeley, but NOT ONCE have we played a show in our hometown! Well Bearlings and Friends, that’s about to change.
We’re thrilled to announce that on August 29th, Bear Lincoln will perform at the Starry Plough in Berkeley with our pals Caldecott and Free Association.
It’s highly recommended that you order online because you’ll save some scrill: tickets are $5 in advance, and $7-12 (sliding scale) at the door. You can get yours here: http://www.ticketfly.com/event/328773
Doors open at 8, show starts at 9, and it’s 21+. Also if you want to know what you’re getting yourself into, here’s a couple links for ya:

Folks are saying it’s the last Free Association show for the foreseeable future. While we’re bummed about that, we’re really happy to be able to celebrate play one final show with them. You don’t wanna miss this one!
Now if we could only land a date…. should it be the Jock or the Geek?

Notes from the double-header
Bear Lincoln is in recovery from a two-show hullabaloo yesterday, August 9. The shores of Crab Cove in Alameda, CA came alive with community during the evening, with throngs of revelers taking in the picturesque Bay Area summer in the company of family, friends, food and live music. The kids were dancing, the parents were thankful that the kids were occupied, and some of them were even getting down to the beats and such.
We had a great time mingling with the other groups and the fun-loving crowd – The day was a rousing success. Congratulations to Soulstice!
It is now time for a well-meaning tirade. Spaint drivers merging into the cash only lanes at the bay bridge toll plaza should be ticketed for screwing over people in the long line behind them. If you walked into Wal-Mart, picked out a bunch of useless crap because you’re at Wal-Mart and then cut in front of all the other paying customers trying to buy their own articles of useless crap, they would be pissed and you would be publically chastised to the back of the line. Because nobody should be reversing on the freeway, the drivers who are in a closed lane should simply go through the Fastrak lane, have their smiling license plate picture taken, and be billed the fat ticket they deserve. We can do this, people. No mercy.
Anyway, smoldering after a trip that took 40 minutes longer than it needed to, we arrived at Winter’s Tavern in time for a phenomenal Vaudeville-style extravaganza, where beautiful temptresses and mystifying sleight-of-handers and illusion gurus brought the sex and savvy to Pacifica’s hottest nightlife venue. We played an abbreviated set late in the night but had a blast in the friendliest company this here Bay Area can offer. We love Winter’s Tavern.

Hello, and welcome to bearlincoln.com Mk. II. We here at BL studios felt like it was high time for a makeover and here it is! Yes, it is just a mostly white web page with a title, menu and this post on it. But to us, it is the bridge between friends, families, bears, presidents and most importantly: you! So please watch a video, download a song and stay tuned. We swear your favorite Berkeley boyz will get their digital act together soon.
Toodles,
-BL
