By the time Seattle’s Minus the Bear took to the stage the crowd had silently multiplied and was a bristling pod of energy. Opening with Drilling, the band played with the finesse of experience, throwing themselves fully into the last night of their UK tour. Like a Heaven dwelling Dennis Wilson in a loose white shirt, vocalist Jake Snider, was good humoured throughout, quipping: “On this tour we’ve been in mud, rain....and Germany,” as he introduced songs from new album Omni. Songs such as My Time and Summer Angel were dropped in early and were well received, but it was the nostalgia of Minus the Bear staples like Pachuca Sunrise that really stirred the crowd. Encoring with Into the Mirror and Absinthe Party, Minus the Bear played a solid and progressive set that did not disappoint.
