Seattle, Washington indie rock outfit Minus The Bear has announced the departure of drummer Erin Tate due to "personal and creative differences." Tate has been with the band since their 2001 inception, which coincided with the dissolution of his previous band, Kill Sadie.
Minus The Bear has issued the following statement:
"It is with heavy hearts that we regret to inform you that due to personal and creative differences Minus the Bear and Erin Tate have decided to part ways.
"Erin is one of those rare talents and we consider ourselves lucky to have been able to share the past 14 years with him since this band first started. His creativity, talent, and drive undoubtedly helped get Minus the Bear to where we are today. We wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors.
"The band will continue touring and we are currently working on the follow up to Infinity Overhead. 2015 is going to be an exciting year and we look forward to sharing what we have in store."
