Two bears: may refer to two bears in the wild or in a zoo; or two fat, hairy gay blokes – in the wild or in a zoo.

The 2 Bears (Raf Rundell and Joe Goddard of Hot Chip) are two fat hairy blokes in bear suits who make music. Very good music.

Their brilliant new single Work, released physically on January 2nd, now has a really nice little video to accompany it. It features the 2 bears themselves visiting their barbershop and getting a shave; and various other people working.

2012 will be the year of the bears as they plan on unleashing their debut, entitled Be Strong, on January 30th via Southern Fried Records. Very good news indeed.

Check out the video below. If this is not your cup of tea, you might want to head over to www.gaybeardating.com and find local gay bears near you.
