Dear All:
Hello.
This is the web site for the
Despite the fact that we’ve not yet played a
billion shows (okay: even a million), we are a functioning band to the extent
that we perform (okay: rehearse) quite often, and we have a number of original
compositions, the titles of which are represented below. We have also taken the liberty of including
helpful one-line descriptions of each song:
FATTY IN THE CAR
A treatise on patterns of obesity in
mid-size city slum lords.

Dream pop funk agony/ecstasy. David Foster Wallace
deification.

Contains a reference to
FOUCAULT’S METRONOME
Drunk on grenadine.
THE TODAY SONG
White fly
girls. Waking up in
the morning. Sighing.
Vu
SONG
Sing-along pundits.
NOT A MAN
Meat-headed tropic devices.
POST-IRONIC STRESS SYNDROME
Aplomb in the face of milieu that feeds on
the dregs of half-assed Tina Brown consumer-cultural ideals.

Dedicated to the memory of Mary Hansen of Stereolab semi-fame.
LAZY SATURDAY (from The Sit-Com Writer and the Architect Suite)
Balin, Kantner,

to your forehead.

His skin = your TV screen.
WHEN THE SAGACIOUS LIE
Like sleeping dogs.
So: if these descriptions have not whetted
your appetite to learn and hear more—or even if they have—CHECK BACK SOON. Because in a month or two, we will have a gaggle of shows under our
collective belt. (That’s right,
we, the Prudent Bear, share one belt.
See the pictures section.).
Sincerely,
The Prudent Bear
