Basic Printer/Spirit of The Bear at The Big Top
About
Basic Printer and Spirit of the Bear team up for a wild Friday night shindig at The Big Top!
Basic Printer
Basic Printer is the experimental pop project of Nashville-based Jesse Gillenwalters. Blending eccentric synths, glitchy textures, and heartfelt lyrics, he creates what he calls “gloitchpop” - a playful, emotionally-charged sound that celebrates the weird in all of us. His debut album Good Weird is a vibrant testament to individuality, full of colorful arrangements and surprising turns. DIY to the core, Basic Printer invites fans into a world where earnestness and oddity go hand in hand.
Spirit of the Bear
After forming in high school, SPIRIT OF THE BEAR quickly became one of the most fresh and exciting bands to emerge in the Northeast Ohio indie scene with their unique blend of indie rock and electronic sensibilities coupled with their affinity for pop songwriting. Spirit of the Bear’s years of musical experience are accentuated by their use of two keyboard players, which brings a unique depth to their sound. Their lifelong friendship also creates a magnetic chemistry onstage, making their live show just as exciting as their records. The band released their self-titled album in January of 2021, which was praised by Atwood Magazine as “Stunning and soaring[the band] have outdone themselves on this expressive, uncompromising album,” and they are currently touring their new album AFFECTED BY LIGHT, which is currently only available as a physical release.
Additionally, the band has shared the stage with prominent acts such as Crowded House, Our Lady Peace, Ra Ra Riot, Robert DeLong, and Trash Panda, among others.
SPIRIT OF THE BEAR is composed of James Harker (vocals, guitar), Daniel Svenson, (keys, vocals), Ethan Schwendeman (keys), and Jamie Vitullo (drums). They have 2 cats and 3 dogs, collectively.
