Bob 'Bobaloo' Koenig (photo - articles - profile) simply rox... and so does his brand new website. Bobaloo is looking cuter than ever. He's a standup comedian who's been working real hard of late; after completing his tour with the 'Bears on the Run' (website - articles) gents, he started up his own podcast with Buck called the 'Buck and Bobaloo Show' (website - article). And some news - Bobaloo is going to be a contestant on 'I Survived A Japanese Game Show' (website).

Elijah Black is one hot Bearish musician who has been real busy of late making some great stuff. Now you might remember seeing Elijah as he was part of the Bear-quintet that made up Bears on the Run... or you might have seen him playing a gig at Bearapalooza. Well lately Elijah has been working with his band and the results are quite phenomenal.

He has recently completed a new video from his April '08 CD 'Better Man' and its from his song 'Smile for Me'. You can see the video here on YouTube (here's Elijah's YouTube page) and from someone who listens to music all day long (that be me), when I heard this song the very thing I did was turn it up. This is just brilliant, and he's got such a voice, such talent. You need to check it out.

Also, there's some voting going on at Logo Online - you get to vote for your favourite video, and yup, Elijah's video is there for you guys to vote for. Check out the other videos if you like (there's a lot of them) but you will have to admit that Mr. Black has a voice that can soothe any hardened heart. He has definitely put a smile on my face.

Also, visit his MySpace page as well as his official (louder than life) site ~ ElijahBlack.com. You can pick up his albums from there and see a bunch more pics and learn a lot more about him.

Bobaloo (website - articles) ~ a seriously cute 'n hunky standup comedian ~ has been busy lately working on new material. You might have heard of Bobaloo as one of the Bears on the Runs members, and you might even have heard that he has a DVD entitle 'Full Release' which he put out in 2007. He is sexy, funny, has videos for you to check out on his YouTube page, and if you look at his upcoming gigs, he's in Hollywood for August and September.

The Bears on the Run (TubeBear PROprofile) tour was meant to take off tonight in Toronto, however the hairy husky musicians and comedians were stopped at the border. From their website: "Our apologies, Toronto, the Bears Of Toronto, and to anyone planning to come to the show at The Barn tonight. We were not allowed into Canada. We needed certain work permits and documentation that we didn't have, and they didn't let us pass the border. Lesson learned, and we will continue to move forward with the rest of the tour as scheduled. So, that being said, if you are in Toronto and were planning on coming to the show tonight, we would love to see your smiling faces at the show in Buffalo tomorrow night (April 10th). If you bought advance tickets, refunds will be issued ASAP. If you bought advance tickets and would like to attend the show in Buffalo, your ticket will be honored at Hallwalls tomorrow night".

Make sure to check out their site for their east coast tour dates. Each of the links mentions where they will be playing, what time as well as a map on how to get there. Also make sure to check out their ongoing video logs they have been posting.

From the Bears on the Run site: "Over the last few years, outlets like Bear Radio Network, Bearapalooza and Woobie Bear Music, along with a host of supportive Bear runs, bars and podcasts, have given Bear musicians, songwriters and performers a place to share their talents. This fall, 6 performers will head out in a van for the 1st ever Bear tour which will span 12 cities and 7 states including Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma.

The tour is called Bears on the Run and showcases the talents of Bobaloo (a comedian from Los Angeles, CA - TubeBear profile), Kendall (a songwriter and performance artist from Buffalo, NY), Matthew Temple (a folk singer/songwriter from Nashville, TN), Nakia (a Blues singer/songwriter from Austin, TX), Elijah Black (a rock singer and songwriter from Akron, OH) and Shannon Grady (a singer and songwriter from Minneapolis, MN). Along for the ride will be two videographers who will capture performances as well as life backstage and on the road to be edited into a documentary.

The tour's founder Shannon Grady (a singer and co-host of the popular podcast bTALK) hopes that the tour will grow and open up doors for other Bear artists and find new audiences for their work".
