Seattle, WA experimental rock outfit Minus The Bear will reunite this fall to perform their 2005 album Menos el Oso in its entirety as co-headliners of the Best Friends Forever festival, scheduled to take place on October 10-12 in Las Vegas, NV. This will be the group's first performance since 2018.

Additionally, the band has revealed that they've signed on with a new full-service management agency, Do Better For Artists, with Jordyn Reese. Speaking on the partnership, Reese states: "Minus The Bear has been a cult favorite and pioneering force in independent rock for over two decades, and it's an absolute honor to be part of this next chapter with them. Their ability to push creative boundaries while staying true to their artistry is exactly what Do Better For Artists stands for. This reunion isn't just about nostalgia—it's about reintroducing MTB's legacy to both longtime fans and a new generation. I couldn't be more excited for what's ahead."

Minus the Bear guitarist Dave Knudson adds: "Vision, enthusiasm and drive are the most important qualities you can find in a manager and Jordyn has been gifted all three in spades. While working together on my first solo LP I found her love of music and strategy intoxicating. Having a long history with MTB, she seemed like the perfect choice to bring ideas and energy to our reunion."
