Austinist Preview: Golden Bear CD Release Party

Golden Bear's CD release show is this Friday at the Flamingo Cantina, and if you're like us, you've been waiting to get your hands on some sweet Bear rock for far too long. The Channel and Driftin’ Luke & His Many Personalities will round out the bill.

Golden Bear's sound is a mix of familiar pasts in your parents' record collection fused with some of your favorite sounds of today, drawing influences from My Morning Jacket, The Flaming Lips and our Denton favorites, Midlake. Sample some tracks at their MySpace or watch the video for "Santa Rosa" on their official site and get pumped, they promise to put on a great show. Toe-tapping, fist-pumping, beard-growing rock 'n roll is always good for the soul, so come out to the show, buy a CD and sip a Lone Star with us on Friday.
