Bear the Astronot's Think Revolution/Vishnu Schist Album Release Celebration

Bear the Astronot will be celebrating the release of Think Revolution/Vishnu Schist May 15th 2009 @Hollywood Alley in Mesa Arizona. An Optimix Prime Productions and Bear the Astronot event. With a cast of Arizona's best Bands, Hip-Hop Artists, Dj's, and Live Artists, this is sure to be a huge event for local music. Bear the Astronot is releasing two E.P's, Think Revolution and Vishnu Schist on one CD for attendees of the event. Think Revolution is a deep and jazzy nine song E.P. with production from the U.K.'s Brother Beatbox, New York based producer MITOCHI, and some of Arizona's best including Beta 7, GLAD2MECHA, G-Owens, and Bear the Astronot himself. Think Revolution also will contain the 1st release of Bear the Astronot's crowd favorite "NO, NO, Sheriff Joe" as a Bonus Track. Vishnu Schist was produced by Arsenic of Fill in the Breaks, and has much more of an Indie Hip-Hop/Dark Rock slant.
