Hey all!

We have a TON of shows getting ready to drop in the next week. INCLUDING our first full on tour. We will be heading south to Oklahoma and Texas for a couple weeks in August. Were also continuing to write and record for the next set of releases. Hope you all are doing well and check back soon for more updates!

CIB

We were very lucky and excited to play at Ink’s Middle of the Map Festival this year! It was curated by The Record Machine and couldn’t have turned out better for a first year festival. We had the Saturday night slot at the Beaumont Club at 8pm. We got to share the stage with State Bird, Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s, and the infamous Daniel Johnston! It was sure a night to remember. Here is what Elke Mermis  from the Pitch had to say about it all:

“I then trekked back to the Beaumont to watch Cowboy Indian Bear take over the venue’s stage. All of the things that I love about the band was even bigger in the Beaumont’s long ballroom. Stark contrasts in the band’s songs were given the full spotlight that they deserved: high points were louder, and the tenderness in Hillard, Calhoun and Conroy’s voices was even softer. Two ladies in cropped sweaters and capris next to me asked the name of the band onstage, and swayed their hips back and forth to CIB’s melodies. (Local music: one, universe: zero.)”

“I thought about hoofing it over to the Riot Room to catch Capybara’s set before the band joined Daniel Johnston on stage later; but CIB roped me in again with a version of “Santiago” that was positively rapturous.”

“When CIB toted its instruments off stage, I surveyed the crowd, which filled the Beaumont’s floor back to the sound booth. It was a long time since I’d seen beads of sweat on fellow concert-goers’ foreheads. Dudes with sleeves and Tutankhamun beards stood next to ladies in flip-flops with bobs. In front of me, there was a guy in a Cramps shirt that proclaimed that the band was “more powerful than a vat of boiling acid” — fuck yes — and lots of young local rock fans crowded next to each other, eagerly.”
