His name is Roger Baptist and he's part of a band called Rummelsnuff. From their site they state that their music is considered Elektropunk which to me sounds a bit like a watered down version of Rammstein - but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Actually, you cannot but help keep your eyes on this massive 'bodybuilder gone Bear' singer. It's all in German and I can't understand a word but from I read he sings about power in the wrestling ring, the men on the high seas and the Schwerstarbeitern underground (which I have no clue what it is since the translator didn't do it's job). You gotta check out his videos, especially if you dig seeing a huge guy in the ring butt naked, in the shower, or from I can tell coming alive from a fountain to become an executive. I love his videos, this guy is great and his band is a ton of fun (they also have a MySpace page).
Thanks to Perdido for the word-up about this big brute singer (website - blog - Bear Degeneration - articles - TubeBear profile).

His name is Geoff but when the sun goes down and people come out to dance the night away he's known as DJFrantik. He's from Connecticut, he's 26 and he's been DJing for 2 years now, mostly playing around the New England area. He spins medley mixes of mainstream house club music and Techno/Euro trance. He's done a lot of internet shows and he used to have his own web radio at Rgin.com.
He's trying to get out there to the clubs and bars to show people what he can do. You can check out a few of his demos from his MySpace page, and he's also sent us a demo which you can either listen to or download (it's 139mb so if you're going to just listen then give it a bit of time to load up). Also make sure to check out his TubeBear profile page. He's made a video there which you can watch and man does he ever have a soft manly voice. So smooth.

I just got a nice little surprise in my snail mail box. It was a mini DVD from the uber cute band known as ing (website). The following is from their website: "For those of you who like watching your videos on a bigger screen than YouTube, we have a new three-inch mini-DVD available over here at CDBaby. The disc features full resolution, 48-khz/24-bit fidelity PCM audio (so it sounds real good!) and includes videos for 'Dove' and 'Not Dead, Not Dying'".
In other news, looks like Ing are working on some new tracks, and Mark is working on a side project with singer John Ashfield (website) and something is due out in a few weeks.

The following is from Les Wright, editor of Bear Book I and Bear Bear II and of Bear History Project: "Bears' artistic creativity has exploded in recent years. As the Bears' subculture has flourished world-wide into gay-mainstream community everywhere, opportunities for Bear creative types to find an audience has not kept pace.
The Bear world has changed since the early days of the Bear History Project and the Bear Icons art exhibitions on the East Coast, and the first Bear Paws, then Ursology literary salons here at IBR. We are bigger, better, brighter than ever. The old venues are far too small and have outlived their usefulness. It is time to renew and redevelop the Bear arts – Bear writing, Bear photography and painting, Bear music and performing arts, Bear history and memoir. It is time for a new vision, bigger, bolder, broader, of these Bear arts.
Ursology brought a small taste of Bear writing and Bear visual arts to IBR. Bear cultural events have sprung up all over the US and overseas, Bear Café in New York, the Bear Film Festival in Vermont, and no doubt much, much more is happening today. Bears as subject matter of serious, established painters, theorizing Bear as homomasculine homoerotic ideal
This is a call to all Bear arts devotees – Bear creative types, arts nonprofit professionals, writers, scholars, film-makers, archivist, web publishers, commercial supporters of Bear community, friends with deep pockets, with vision, with big hearts, with creative drives to come together: to transform Ursology, or its next generation incarnation – into a Bear cultural phenomenon, into the Bear cultural event of the year.
Rather than mount a very small event, with little opportunity to do artists and writers justice, Ursology 2008 is being devoted to an open-ended forum, a call to plan a whole new kind of event. Spread the word!".
Ursology has its showing on February 16th at the Washington Gate Holiday Inn in San Francisco.
