Yeah, it was one of those moments when we we'd been trying to think what to call the band for a while, and nothing was working. So we were having some much needed downtime (y'know, we were university students - it's so pressurised
![Grin ;D](./images/smilies/grin.gif)
) and we were playing Tekken 3, and I was playing Kuma against Nick, our guitarist, who was playing as that dipshit little dinosaur, Gon. Kuma couldn't do
shit against the yellow midget reptile, and I was getting more and more het up, until I got KO'd and yelled "oh, you fucking IDIOT BEAR!" at the screen.
There was this beat of silence, and Nick says "OK, that's the name of the band."
The name always divided people. Some people like it, some people think it's stupid. I like it, while acknowledging that it's stupid.
