Volcano the Bear

Volcano the Bear are an improvisational/experimental English band formed in Leicester in 1995. The group's members are Aaron Moore (drums, trumpet, vocals), Nick Mott (saxophone, guitar, vocals), Clarence Manuelo (tapes, electronics) and Daniel Padden (keyboards, guitar, clarinet, vocals). Although the principal roles of each member are as listed, the group use a large array of additional sound-making objects to create their music.

Their early work was characterised by theatrical live performances and unconventional recording methods; for example The One Burned Ma, their 2000 release for Misra Records, contains no tracks on which all four members appear.

Volcano the Bear continues to perform and record independently.
