I Fight Bears!

About Me


To further cement I Fight Bears reputation as "The nicest rock star since Dave Grohl", he will be playing a mammoth charity gigathon in Dundee on Saturday 26th April. Named the somewhat wordy The I Fight Bears Charity Gigathon, it will be a phenomenal day with 40ish minutes of material stretched out over an incredible 8 hours!
Seriously though, it'll be great and it's all for Oxjam, easily the greatest charity-backed nationwide musical festival. All money raised over the day will be going to Oxfam, who will use it to do very very good things.
Confirmed venues so far include:
Malones
Social
The Wesport Bar
The Nether Inn
& many, many more!
See you there!
P.S. If you want to donate without even leaving the comfort of your computer chair, please go here: http://www.justgiving.com/oxjamdundee
Oxfam GB is a registered charity (no 202918) & a member of Oxfam International. Oxfam works with others to find lasting solutions to poverty and suffering.
I Fight Bears Bio
I Fight Bears is the highly charged band/pseudo-name of Nicky Hunt, a Dundee based rock star. Nicky likes rocking out on stage, and talking about himself in the 3rd person.
Using only a beat up acoustic guitar and a voice which is simultaneously brutal and melodic I Fight Bears is quickly becoming the GREATEST MUSICIAN OF ALL TIME. His live shows are talked about in hushed voices, their electric, raw power leaving their mark for hours, sometimes days after the event.
Some people say that they see fire come out of the guitar and lick his fingers as he plays and dragons with the heads of lions erupt from his throat. Sometimes those people are dismissed as crazy madmen, but that doesn't make it any less true.
