Minus the Bear get nostalgic in Orlando Credit: Courtesy Facebook
Does absence truly make the heart grow fonder? If you’re a Minus the Bear fan, apparently the quote holds the actual weight of a bear. The Seattle-based alternative rock band will be making their first appearance in the City Beautiful since 2018 when they return to Beacham on Tuesday.
The band broke up in 2018, but this past winter they announced their triumphant return to the stage. Minus the Bear will bring the nostalgia to Orlando, playing their fan-favorite 2005 album Menos El Oso in its entirety. Hearing David Knudson’s distinct style of guitar-tapping never gets old, and the sold-out crowd will be deep in their feels hearing the opening lines to “Pachuca Sunrise” live after such a long hiatus.
Emo legends Bayonne are the opening act for the Orlando show, rounding out the bill for a perfect night of elder emo millennial escapism.
6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $44.50.
