Minus The Bear plan to leave their Planet of Ice for a headlining US tour with supporting acts like Raleigh's septet Annuals. The trek includes a performance at Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival. See updated dates below.

Also in the news for MTB, they made their late night debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live a few weeks ago. Daytrotter and Alternative Press recorded some sessions with them, who can guess where they'll pop up next? A full streaming concert? You never know. Pre-sale for the tour is available now on their website. -joe puglisi
