Great band. Have several great albums. This track, from their self-titled debut, is noisy and fuzzy, but other tracks defy genres from jangle pop to all kinds of psychedelia.

"Spangle" by 14 Iced Bears ("14 Iced Bears", 1988)

Record Collector magazine’s list of famous Brighton 7” singles. Quite ironic that our stuff is so expensive in comparison to others. We’re not exactly rolling in it.

Kudos to the wonderful Just Dropped in, Coventry, for providing a warm atmosphere in which to end our tour, surrounded by classic albums. Huge cheers to super-excellent Jack Harkins from Autocamper for being a bear twice!
London, Brighton, Southend, Preston, Exeter and Coventry, thank you!!!

Last night of our tour after a lovely night in Exeter, thanks to the people at the Cavern.
Tonight it’s climactic Coventry. Joined again by Jack Harkins from Autocamper, after a wonderful debut in Preston.
On stage 7.30 so loads of time to travel home if you fancy Coventry’s Indian summer sunshine…

14 Iced Bears 14 ICED BEARS Started off in wave of C86 bands, then developed a more psychedelic sound. Formed in 1985. First single Inside 1986, then Balloon Song (both on Frank) 1987, then Come Get Me (Sarah 1988)...

This weekend our tour continues, eschewing geographical relevance - Preston on Friday, Coventry Sunday and tickets here for our return to the Exeter Cavern this Saturday.

A special end to our mini south east tour, thanks to the excellent Lee James Hall, Amy and everyone at Craftwerks in Southend.
Lovely folks, even with an after-show party thrown in…

just wanted to say the gig was an expectedly great one, from a band who’ve always meant a lot.

Managed to only well up during β€œSure to see” and β€œHay fever”. Oh, and β€œCut”.

Thank you

Take it, 14 Iced Bears (squeaky clean mix) by Robert Sekula
YouTube video by trebor decemberboy Take it, 14 Iced Bears (squeaky clean mix) by Robert Sekula

YouTube link for the version I recently did, taking out the squeakiness, for those who love watching YouTube videos.
I'd say it's probably the best version of the track.
Now available to buy for a Β£1 or listen free at 14icedbears.bandcamp.com/track/take-i... youtube.com/watch?v=4DjX...

Using Stem Splitter I’ve got rid of the squeaky sound. I think the squeaky clean mix is the definitive version of the Iced Bear song.
I’ve also remixed a track without any synth sound for you weirdos out there.

Listen free or download for Β£1 at www.14icedbears.bandcamp.com

Cheers
