Polar Bear was an American alternative rock band that was active in the late 1990s, formed and led by bassist Eric Avery.
History
After the 1991 break-up of Jane's Addiction, Eric Avery and guitarist Dave Navarro formed the band Deconstruction, which released its sole album in 1994. After that project ended, Avery formed Polar Bear with drummer/programmer Harold "Barefoot" Saunders, formerly of Ethyl Meatplow. Guitarists Dani Tull and Andy Troy also contributed to the band. They released two EPs in 1996 and 1997, and the full-length album Why Something Instead of Nothing? in 1999.
