Big thanks to @robertsekula.bsky.social (14 Iced Bears) and Jack from Autocamper for stepping in last minute + @perennialtheband.bsky.social for providing the best end to the week with some blistering fun Jangle, Psych, Mod and Punk over at @justdroppedin.bsky.social

Last night of our tour after a lovely night in Exeter, thanks to the people at the Cavern.
Tonight it’s climactic Coventry. Joined again by Jack Harkins from Autocamper, after a wonderful debut in Preston.
On stage 7.30 so loads of time to travel home if you fancy Coventry’s Indian summer sunshine…

This weekend our tour continues, eschewing geographical relevance - Preston on Friday, Coventry Sunday and tickets here for our return to the Exeter Cavern this Saturday.

A special end to our mini south east tour, thanks to the excellent Lee James Hall, Amy and everyone at Craftwerks in Southend.
Lovely folks, even with an after-show party thrown in…

just wanted to say the gig was an expectedly great one, from a band who’ve always meant a lot.

Managed to only well up during “Sure to see” and “Hay fever”. Oh, and “Cut”.

Thank you

YouTube link for the version I recently did, taking out the squeakiness, for those who love watching YouTube videos.
I'd say it's probably the best version of the track.
Now available to buy for a £1 or listen free at 14icedbears.bandcamp.com/track/take-i... youtube.com/watch?v=4DjX...

Using Stem Splitter I’ve got rid of the squeaky sound. I think the squeaky clean mix is the definitive version of the Iced Bear song.
I’ve also remixed a track without any synth sound for you weirdos out there.

Listen free or download for £1 at www.14icedbears.bandcamp.com

Cheers
