Mass Recovery Fest - Artist Showcase #9: Blackbear

Every day I'll be posting an Artist Showcase--a short introduction to each one of the bands playing Mass Recovery Fest this year. Mike Ellison and Erica Smerica wrote this one.

Blackbear




BLACKBEAR is 400 feet tall, and built by Patagonian vaqueros. In its formative stages, it features four sets of wings, but as it matures, the wings atrophy as the legs grow stronger. These dudes run on atomic energy, the EMP emitted by solar flares, and the nightmares of children. They pull inspiration from geographical landmarks and will be pre-forming on day two of the fest.*

*Editor’s Note – Blackbear is, weirdly enough, also the name of a central Mass hardcore band who are performing day 2 of Mass Recovery Fest. I can only assume that this performance will coincide with the pre-forming of the 400 foot tall, nightmare fueled monster listed above. If you’re interested in either Blackbear the band or Cloverfield Pt.2, come to the fest.
