Chinese American Bear are a Seattle-based duo crafting a quirky, bilingual blend of Mandopop and eclectic ear candy. Their sound sits somewhere between the hazy textures of Melody’s Echo Chamber and the playful energy of The B-52’s, resulting in a live show often described as a punk gig for toddlers. With a steady string of playlist covers and a number-one spot on KEXP under their belt, the duo has quietly built a significant following. It is music that feels both lighthearted and immediate, carved out of a genuine, no-frills joy for songwriting.
