But The Dears — the poor Dears — had their tour bus stolen while their driver slumbered in a Montreal Comfort Inn the morning before their tour was to start. The nerve! Since the band was packing at home, luckily no equipmment was actually stowed on the van. And guess what: The Dears gave the whole situation the middle

photo: Liam Maloney A few weeks ago on on www.thedears.org , Murray Lightburn posted an email exchange between he and a friend about the fact that the new album from The Dears , Missiles , leaked to the internet. It was a pretty straightforward three email exchange that sums up the situation of these modern times: "Albums get made, then they get leaked, then they get released. Oh well." "...

Today the infamous Canadian rock outfit, The Dears, release Missiles, their forth LP via Dangerbird Records. Missiles is a decadent array of Costello-style ballads (Dream Job is a favorite of mine) and beastly sonic pop rock. Though the line up of The Dears seems to change every so often (there's only two original members for [...]

myspace It's no secret that The Dears have had a rough road trying to follow up on the success of Gang of Losers . A label change (from Arts & Crafts to Dangerbird) and even in a band that adds and drops members constantly, a huge shift in personnel. Murray Lightburn decided that it would be better to move in a new direction - one that ultimately only involved him and his wife (Natalia) and n...

From The Dears' myspace:Meltdown in A Major This could have been a message saying that The Dears is over.Instead:Almost 10 years ago, The Dears made a ghetto little record called "End of A Hollywood Bedtime Story."
