Breath easy internet, I have returned to my blogging post. Over the last week and a half I’ve been journeying up the Pacific Coast with Bear Hunter . As it turns out, when I try and write on my laptop while in the van I start to puke all over my band mates — hence, my absence from Synthesis Blog. Over the next few days I will be recounting my harrowing journey (in between fascinating posts about pop stars getting busted for drugs, children with weird growths on their bodies and general paranoid-paranormal fodder). Get ready, dear readers. Get your asses ready.

Chico locals Bear Hunter are taking off today for their Northwest tour. If you haven’t heard their blend of psychedelic indie pop then you should probably jet on over to their myspace page. Their singer trolls around the Synthesis blog, but I can’t for the life of me remember his name. Ehh, fuck it, it’ll come to me later. In the meantime, check out the dates:

Local indie-rock sex icons Bear Hunter are heading out tomorrow to spread the love up the west coast. If you live in OR, WA or Northern California, check them out. Rumor has it they bought a 30 foot fire breathing robot just for this tour’s stage show, but my sources are less than credible.
