final 2009 Pool Party Sunday & other Grizzly Bear tour dates

Edward Droste of Grizzly Bear displays his ‘favorite band ever’ (*Ethel)

“The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a reward for information leading to the conviction of whoever illegally shot and killed what officials say was one of Montana’s largest grizzly bears.

The carcass of the big grizzly, called Maximus because he stood 7 1/2 feet tall and weighed about 800 pounds, was found Aug. 12 on a ranch in northern Montana. The bear had been dead about a month.

Special Agent Brian Lakes said Friday that he didn’t know what the exact size of the reward would be but it would be “substantial.”

“We are following up on some leads at this time,” Lakes told the Great Falls Tribune.” [AP]

Grizzly Bear play with Ed’s ‘favorite band ever’ (not his wording), Beach House, this Sunday (8/30) at the Williamsburg Waterfront. The show marks the end of the 2009 season of free Pool Parties in Brooklyn (‘VIP’ tickets are also available).
