BEAR HANDS "THE KEY TO WHAT TOUR" w/ OK COWGIRL - MELBOURNE

Deuterman Productions Presents: "THE KEY TO WHAT TOUR"

Support:

This June, Bear Hands will embark on the second leg of their 'The Key to What' tour. They'll perform songs from their latest album alongside fan favorites from their nineteen-year catalog, including top 20 alternative hits "Giants" and "Back Seat Driver."
Press has said about 'The Key to What':Over the past decade or so, Bear Hands has been one of the most interesting and experimental bands working today. It is always awesome to see a band take such ambitious strides and experiment so wildly with their music. Bear Hands accomplishes this with every song on the album. - New Noise Magazine
Bear Hands is Dylan Rau (vocals and guitar), Val Loper (bass), and TJ Orscher (drums). Formed in 2006 in Brooklyn, New York, the band gained early attention with their 2010 single "What a Drag," which led to their signing with Cantora Records. They released their debut album Burning Bush Supper Club, that same year, followed by the critically acclaimed Distraction. Two additional albums followed - 2016’s You’ll Pay For This and 2019’s Fake Tunes.

FOR SONGWRITER LEAH LAVIGNE, OK COWGIRL BEGAN AS A MANTRA. AS A SOLO ARTIST, SHE WAS BEGINNING TO FEEL STUCK – THE KEYBOARD ON WHICH SHE WAS CLASSICALLY TRAINED HAD GROWN STALE, AND THE SONGS SHE WAS WRITING ON IT ONLY MANAGED TO CAPTURE A SLIVER OF HER EMOTIONAL RANGE. WRITING AND PERFORMING MUSIC HAD ONCE BEEN A LIFE-CHANGING FORCE OF CONNECTION – A WAY TO FIND COMMON GROUND AS AN ASIAN-AMERICAN GROWING UP IN PREDOMINANTLY WHITE ENVIRONMENTS, A MEANS TO SPEAK ABOUT HER INNER WORLD AND ACTUALLY BE HEARD. BUT AFTER ATTENDING SCHOOL AND FINDING COMMUNITY IN NEW YORK CITY, HER EXPANDED MUSICAL PURVIEW AND DEEPENED UNDERSTANDING OF SELF MADE FOR MORE ENERGY THAN COULD FIT WITHIN THE FENCES OF PLAYING SONGS ALONE BEHIND A PIANO. THE LAND OF THE KNOWN WASN’T CUTTING IT – SHE NEEDED A FRONTIER. SO: LAVIGNE BORROWS A GUITAR, LAVIGNE STARTS A ROCK BAND. SO GOES THE COMMAND: GIDDY-UP!
