Leaf Spain Records

Polar Bear are a five piece experimental jazz band that are led by drummer and composer Seb Rochford. Peepers is their fourth album. Led by Seb this is a group of five experienced, talented and creative musicians getting it done. The saxophone work of Pete Wareham & Mark Lockheart is superb. Wareham in particular is outstanding here. Rochford's percussion work is equally impressive and Leafcutter John's guitar work gives the sound a bit of a rock edge.



Polar Bear started out in 2004. They are based in London, England,

Zak's Tidbits for March 2nd/2010

MGMT fans take note. The boys have been streaming tracks from the upcoming new album on their website. Check it out while they are still up.  http://www.whoismgmt.com/

Muse from SXSW. Go to Muse's website and check out the awesome video of their performance at SXSW. I caught them in Toronto recently and as awesome as their full stadium show is, this small venue event looks mindblowing. http://www.muse.mu/

R.I.P. Alex Chilton. the great and legendary leader of Big Star passed away just three days before their show at the SXSW. The band played a teary eyed tribute performance to their fallen leader and many 'Big Stars' stepped in to deliver on the vocals.
