I just got back from a week long family vacation in Pheonix Az. It was very nice, saw some spring training, go A's. Right before that I did this video for my friend. He is applying for a travel internship where, if chosen, he will get flown around the world and his job will be to make video blogs. We were gonna go into SF and do some filming, but we didn't realize how soon the dealine was, so with 12 hours to go, I ghetto rigged a green screen in my garage. Enjoy:
I got two more for ya. We also tried doing some improv as well. Here are a couple videos of us acting stupid. Enjoy!
So there you go. Future plans: Gonna get a separate page on the website for videos, and start archiving the updates because i feel like this page is taking too long to load. Also I think I am moving back to LA in two weeks. My screenplay should be done by then, I'm gonna sell that bitch for $100,000!!! Gonna keep working on the album of course, and get some new tattoos. Check out my good friend and tattoo artist MIKE COYNE:::http://www.myspace.com/inkbymike
Him and I are also starting a band called "SHOTGUN HIPPIE" I'll let you guys know when we get our shit together. It's a bit different from A BEAR, I would say its A BEAR meets NIRVANA with some insane Metal Solos.
Check out the new video! This is from our gig in Santa Barbara at the Isla Vista CoOpula Festival. Brenden was sick and went home to Deleware a few days before so we crammed and got an acoustic set together along with a few electronic songs. My Uncle and Cousins came to the show and everyone had a great time. Afterwards we partied in Isla Vista and hung out at a cafe that had free beer and french fries where they had open mic every night and thursday mornings. It was awesome. I'm definetly going back to that place.
Uh, I'm fading fast. I just moved out of my appartment in LA and drove up to SF today and I'm hella beat- that's right, I can say "hella" again. The cat pissed on my on the way up. Anyway I added some new stuff, most notably a "listen&download" page where I put all our amazing/ghetto recordings. Please download them and enjoy them and show them to your friends and spread the music. I'm gonna work on it some more tomorrow and make sure all those links work and finish up with the paper planes video. Need sleeeeep....
I started working on revamping the "Paper Planes" video. Gonna add a piano track and re-export it with higher quality. It will look really good. I was looking through my files and found alot of great video footage of the band I'm gonna edit (WWIWTHXPECIILLLGUTTSSSTTTMMKKKKKOOOYNNNE?!?!?!). I also found this track which you may not have heard yet, it's kindof a Lou Reed Homage:
Welcome to the new RastaBear.com, the home of A BEAR WITH A CAR ON TOP!
This will be a new spot to catch up with A BEAR and all our projects. Big things are coming soon. We are working on our album, I'm almost done with my first feature length screenplay, might be doing some touring soon, and we are always making new videos for everyone to check out. I wanted to start this new site so I could have a place to post alot of updates and keep things simple, but as I keep adding to the site, I'll keep adding more bells, whistles, songs and videos.
