Philly helped Seattle-based Minus The Bear celebrate their 10-year anniversary this weekend at The Electric Factory.
The band played their 2001 Highly Refined Pirates, in full, mixed with a c
ouple newer favorites off their more recent album, Menos el Oso (2005) and an encore decked-out in Omni (2010).
The night was all about music. With not much more than a few words said between songs, the five-man band played straight through.
Opening for MTB was The Velvet Teen, an indie group from Northern California.
After the show, Minus The Bear sang Philly’s praises via social networking, saying how nice it was to be back. The last time the guys stopped in Philly to play at The Electric Factory, they shot their video (below) for “Hold Me Down.”
Here are a few more pics from this weekend’s show.
