The band consists of a group of bears who got fed up of the forest because satelite reception was so bad and they couldn't get Broadband.
Oh, okay - it's just me then. The Peaceful Bear. Honest!
Oh, okay - it's just me then. The Peaceful Bear. Honest!
Why this name?
erm, ummm - well it is the 21st Century and I wasn't very happy about it at the time - alright?
Do you play live?
Haven't played live for years - but will do, I think. The best moment was 30 years ago. We tuned guitars using a tape in the van. But we forgot about a key change. The guitarist tuned 1 tone higher than the rest of us. What an intro that was!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It changes the whole world - I get a second chance to woo you music lovers, which I would never have done otherwise
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
You are assuming a major would have me! I would sign with anyone that allowed me to play with fantastic musicians - that't what I am here for.
Band History:
Well, I am still breathing - that has to be one for history.
Cough!
Cough!
Your influences?
JJ Cale, Clapton, Mick Softly, John Martin, Stones, PInk Floyd (well you have to say that, don't you!), Me.
Favorite spot?
A sunny place under a tree with a cool beer or some beautiful wine.
Equipment used:
Strat (old american thingy), Martin Accoustic, 80 year old Ukulele Banjo, Cheap blues harps, a pile of old PCs and a yammy O2R Desk. Oh, and my brain.
Anything else...?
Yeah, Do I get my free salmon that you promised? I mean, interview a bear, however peaceful, you better come fish-in-hand!
