Biography
Boy & Bear are an Australian indie folk band formed in 2009, consisting of David Hosking (vocals and guitar), Killian Gavin (vocals and guitar), Tim Hart (drums, vocals, banjo, mandolin), Jonathan Hart (keys, synths, vocals), and David Symes (bass). The band has released two EPs and five studio albums. Moonfire (2011) debuted at #2 on the ARIA Charts, while Harlequin Dream (2013) and Limit of Love (2015) both debuted at #1. On 27 September 2019, they released their long-awaited fourth studio album, Suck on Light. The band released their self-titled fifth studio album on 26 May 2023. The name Boy and Bear comes indirectly from a Randy Newman song, Simon Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear “Oh, who would think a boy and bear, Could be well accepted everywhere…”
