So our little rock band Bear Claw is going on tour for 3 & 1/2 weeks in Europe? Someone pinch me because I still don't quite believe it! The Routing is fixed and we're all set to depart. Bear Claw is a 3 piece rock back from Chicago, IL. We are composed of 2 bass guitars and drums. We're a pretty aggressive rock band in the vain of things such as: Fugazi, Shellac, The Jesus Lizard, Helmet, Led Zepplin without the guitar and singing, ect... You can check us out at the following websites: www.bearclawrock.com www.myspace.com/bearclaw We can't wait it will be a blast! Thanks, Scott - Bear Claw
