This week’s featured event is The Bunny The Bear on Monday, May 14 at Buffalo Iron Works.
716’s own The Bunny The Bear: The uniqueness of each album is part of what makes The Bunny The Bear so special. Combining diverse influences such as Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Brand New, and The Killers to name a new, Matthew Tybor strives to stay ever-changing and to not limit himself to one specific sound.
The Bunny The Bear exploded onto the scene back in 2010 with their self titled debut album (engineered by Doug White/Produced by Tybor). Without wasting any time, TBTB followed up their first album with “If You Don’t Have Anything Nice To Say…” in 2011 and continued to put out a new album every year –“The Stomach For It” (2012), “Stores” (2013),“Food Chain” (2014) and “A Liar Wrote This” (2015).
Tybor has taken his “out of the box music” on the road with bands like Mindless Self Indulgence, Funeral For A Friend, Escape The Fate and many more. The Bunny The Bear has also been featured on Warped tour in 2015.
After departing their previous label, 2017 will be year of change for The Bunny The Bear, including bringing Joseph Garcia in as the bear. Garcia had briefly toured with the band back in 2013 and teamed back up with Tybor to announce they would be releasing a new album, “The Way We Rust”, and partnering up with Needful Things Records. Tybor explains, “I loved the idea of pushing, what I see as a second birth of my project, alongside a new label, ran by someone who I really see eye to eye with. That’s a rare thing for me.”
