Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor recently revealed he is writing a cookbook which he promises will be ‘seasonally relevant’ and inspired by his love of throwing dinner parties for friends – presumably with a round of applause between each course.

Meanwhile, Grizzly Bear recently raised the ire of British fans when they criticised the audience at their gig at The Sage, Gateshead. Taking to his personal Twitter to air his grievances, lead singer Ed Droste said: “FYI: we like it when people cheer between songs, during songs, yell shit, whatever. Please don’t be overly attentive for us. Thnx”.

A tweet from the band’s account then asked: “Why does our fan-base skew so much older in Europe than the US? So random. Good 10-15 year age difference”.
