Edmonton indie rock trio Two Bears North return to Lethbridge to play the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Sept. 27.
While their music may sound upbeat and cheerful, there are some very dark undertones to it, which is reflected in their brand new video for “Bipolar Princess.”
“ Bipolar Princess looks into mental disorders. It seems like a fun road trip, but it has a really dark ending which is what the song is about,” said guitarist/ vocalist vocalist Sophie Heppell, one third of the trio which also includes bassist / vocalist Melissa Walker and drummer / vocalist Nich Davies.
They shot the video with their friend Andrea Clark and her company AndreaClarkKcreative.
“ We set a dark tone. We wanted to get people's reaction,” she said.
They were last in Lethbridge in February and are still supporting their most recent CD ComeOcean, which was released last December.
“ It’s a sort of in the style of Tegan and Sara, Metric and Mother Mother but much more raw and eclectic,” she described the trio's sound.
They have been touring steadily since their last Lethbridge visit. They are going to the Breakout West conference in Winnipeg in October and did a tour with Megan Nash.
“ We’re touring with other bands, so we’ve got this big 15 passenger van. So we get to play for their fan base and it just helps lighten the load,” she said.
“ We’re also preparing for the next CD which we want to release by summer next year,” she said. They are excited to return to the Owl Acoustic Lounge.
“ We‘re super excited to be back there,” she said.
