GRIZZLY BEAR, Dirty Projectors, and Stars Like Fleas- Tuesday 9/26- Bowery Ballroom

Frontman Edward Droste will be the first to tell you that he never expected Grizzly Bear to get so big. Begun as a pet project in his Green Point apartment, Grizzly Bear began when Droste locked himself up for months on end to record the sketches for what would later become Grizzly's 2005 debut, Horn of Plenty, later enlisting the help of soon-to-be bandmate Christopher Bear.

Debut album drops.

Fast forward two months.

A glowing SPIN review and a Scandinavian tour later, Droste, Bear, and Co find themselves thrust in the spotlight- and suddenly equipped to take on more than just Green Point.

Now almost a full year later, Grizzly Bear is hitting the road again, this time in support of their brand new release, Yellow House. An awesomely atmospheric collection of mostly-acoustic tunes tight enough to have earned "Best New Music" from Pitchfork, this latest Grizzly release is already drawing comparisons ranging from Animal Collective to Sufjan Stevens to Nick Drake. With a haunting dreaminess and honesty that has to be heard to be believed, Yellow House is easily among the top albums of 2006.


Check these guys out this Tuesday with Dirty Projectors and Stars Like Fleas at Bowery Ballroom before they head out West for the start of their North American tour, and see some of Brooklyn's finest right here at home.
