bear-ghostPerforming live at Tempe History Museum on Friday, October 28, 7 p.m.

Bear Ghost plays demented funk-rock that sounds like it was written to accompany Tim Burton down the rabbit hole. Their signature brand of indie progressive rock is offered at a breakneck punked-up pace, with a theatrical presentation that makes the band sound possessed. Their live shows feature songs by Queen and Disney soundtrack music, which makes perfect sense considering how the band just might be some kind of loopy missing link between the two.

They make music that is decidedly fun. It’s fun to listen to and fun to watch. When they put on a show, they actually put on a show. Free and family-friendly
