Sounds Like Bears

When you take two men and give them a smorgasbord of ukuleles, banjoleles, cigar-box guitars, cajons and a selection of triangles then you're clearly a fool. Or just possibly... the person responsible for the greatest weird instrument comedy band in the world. We don't know. But personally we like to play ukuleles, banjoleles, cigar-box guitars and various other weird instruments and try and write stupid songs on them. We hope you enjoy our efforts...
