  Bipolar BearBipolar Bear continued without Bryan recording another split 7" with Watusi Zombie on Kill Shaman and two more records with Yosada. Soon
after, the phone rang again and Kirchhammer had to take care of
business downtown leaving the band without her skin-hitting skillz.
And then there were only two. Birk sat Paul down and asked him to
focus on something for once in his life. Paul agreed and after
finishing yet another degree at genius school, decided to recruit
thier new drummer Marc at Birk's request. They laid down some quick
jams and lined up releases on Limited Appeal EXO in Australia, and Label in
Germany. After playing the Smell for the gazillionth time, Paul asked
owner Jim if he wanted to do a record too and so came about the Ol
Factory split with Talbot Tagora.
During their four year stint Bipolar Bear have played with The Slits,
Weird War, The Intelligence, The Get Hustle, Becky Stark, Old Time
Relijun, Numbers, No Age, Abe Vigoda, Health, Times New Viking, The
Lamps, Mae-Shi, Mika Miko, Silver Daggers, Anavan, Kill Me Tomorrow,
Oh Sees, The King Brothers, Pink Reason, TV Ghost, Japanther, Bad
Dudes and pretty much everyone else that has come through the Smell or
Il Coral. As usual, Bipolar Bear opens the show and then Birk and
Paul sit together and wait for someone to talk to them about the
A-Frames, Worst Case Scenario, Young Ginns, Monorchid or anything else
they are ripping off at the moment. Then the phone rings… its Watson.
