Bear Eats Fish — Lincoln Band Wiki

Notes

From Tery Daly: During our time together in Suzy Dreamer, Jeff kept talking about this other band he jammed with in his garage called Thieving Winona. When pressed for details about the band, all he'd offer is that "we're not very good". He told us that for months. After I and many others goaded him for months to sett up a show they finally did. SO help me, they were one fo the best punk bands I've ever seen, and I'm old enough to have seen some of the "real" punk bands in the late 70's! Jeff was like a different person out from behind the drum kit! They released their CD under the name Thieving Winona, but during that first live show, unbeknownst to the rest of the band, Jeff Gustafson announced to the crowd that the band was changing their name from Thieving Winona to Bear Eats Fish. Around for only a very brief time, this band made quite a stir on the scene with their very stripped down punk sound, driven by the fact that each member of this band was very new to their instrument. Jeff was known for making up many of the bands lyrics on stage during the show, so the songs would all be slighly different each time they played. They broke up and reformed several times, and in 2006, after a small lineup change, changed their name to Awesome Dirtbike. For more info see the interview with them in the feature band interview section.
