Chinese American Bear

Banquet Records, KT1 1EE , [Venue Details]

To celebrate the release of the new album, Chinese American Bear visits Kingston to play an in-store set.

Chinese American Bear return in 2026 with their third album, Dim Sum and Then Some, released via cult UK label Moshi Moshi.

Friday,
22 May 2026
@6.00pm

Dim Sum & Then Some was started the day after we finished our 2024 album Wah!!!. We were having a lot of fun and inspiration was still high,” the band explain. “The album explores themes around what we love—food, little joys, fun simple nonsense, China, love, anthems, and fairytales. It’s a collage of our life, distilled into positivity and lightheartedness.”

Often described as The Flaming Lips, Dusty Springfield, and The Beach Boys having a baby with a Care Bear, Chinese American Bear’s music is bursting with comedy, groove, quirk, and cuteness. Dim Sum and Then Some is melodically rich and joyfully maximalist, weaving together psychedelia, doses of funk, and lush instrumentation, with plenty of lyrics devoted to the simple pleasure of filling up your belly with good food.
