Bio
...... .. .. Amongst the broadening horizons of the European music scene you will find the Beangrowers. Hailing from the Mediterranean island of Malta, this female-fronted three-piece has become known for their unique style and infectious mixture of guitar-based pop and quirky keyboard sounds: think Blondie meets Joy Division. "Keeper of the angelic vocal chords" – front-woman/lead guitarist Alison Galea is up there alongside PJ and Nina Persson. and supported by band-mates Mark Sansone (bass, synths) and Ian Schranz (drums, synths). .. .. The Beangrowers music has always been defined as pop-rock that’s short, sharp and to the fuzz-guitar driven point. While that can still be heard on their new self-produced album “Not In A Million Lovers”, there’s also a noticeably more mature element to their latest release, both lyrically and musically. .. .. Even with a new year unfolding, and a new album, you can still hear their familiar brand of fuzz and pop on the lead single, “Love Can Do You No Harm”, with its hopeful lyrics of: “now this great war is over, let’s find out who speaks the truth….” .. .. But listening to the album’s sixth track, “Available,” we hear another ready single that shows the Beangrowers have clearly expanded their musical perspective beyond the shores of Malta and even Europe, and outside of what regular fans of the band might expect to hear. When in that song Galea sings “forced to grow, steps to climb…””, it not only reflects a certain new sophistication in the band’s musical style throughout the album, but in how they want to move forward artistically, alongside their fans. .. .. With three albums under their belt, the Beangrowers are to date best known in continental Europe, but are continually expanding their reach to fans everywhere. Based in Berlin for a number of years, they were signed to Rough Trade's German division and built a strong fan-base through video rotation on VIVA and MTV Central while touring with the likes of Elbow, Tindersticks, Stereophonics, dEUS and Trashcan Sinatras. Director Wim Wenders (Buena Vista Social Club, Wings of Desire) became a fan and used the song “The Priest” from their 2005 album, “Dance Dance Baby” in his film "Land of Plenty." .. .. They wowed audiences in the USA when they visited in 2004 and 2005, playing SXSW in Austin and the legendary Sine' club in New York. A return to this year’s SXSW is scheduled, with more tour dates to follow. With the release this year of “Not In A Million Lovers” in North America, the UK and Europe, fans old and new are sure to follow the Beangrowers to anywhere they happen to land. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ....Signup for our Mailing List.... ....*.. required .. .... .. .. ....First name:.... ...... .. .. ....Last name:.... ...... .. .. ....Email ..*..:.... ...... .. .. ....Country:.... .... ..Please select an option..... ..UNITED STATES.. ..CANADA.. ..UNITED KINGDOM.. ..AFGHANISTAN.. ..ALBANIA.. ..ALGERIA.. ..AMERICAN SAMOA.. ..ANDORRA.. ..ANGOLA.. ..ANGUILLA.. ..ANTARCTICA.. ..ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA.. ..ARGENTINA.. ..ARMENIA.. ..ARUBA.. ..AUSTRALIA.. ..AUSTRIA.. ..AZERBAIJAN.. ..BAHAMAS.. ..BAHRAIN.. ..BANGLADESH.. ..BARBADOS.. ..BELARUS.. ..BELGIUM.. ..BELIZE.. ..BENIN.. ..BERMUDA.. ..BHUTAN.. ..BOLIVIA.. ..BOTSWANA.. ..BOUVET ISLAND.. ..BRAZIL.. ..BRUNEI DARUSSALAM.. ..BULGARIA.. ..BURKINA FASO.. ..BURUNDI.. ..CAMBODIA.. ..CAMEROON.. ..CAPE VERDE.. ..CAYMAN ISLANDS.. ..CHAD.. ..CHILE.. ..CHINA.. ..CHRISTMAS ISLAND.. ..COLOMBIA.. ..COMOROS.. ..CONGO.. ..COOK ISLANDS.. ..COSTA RICA.. ..COTE D'IVOIRE.. ..CROATIA.. ..CUBA.. ..CYPRUS.. ..CZECH REPUBLIC.. ..DENMARK.. ..DJIBOUTI.. ..DOMINICA.. ..DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.. ..EAST TIMOR.. ..ECUADOR.. ..EGYPT.. ..EL SALVADOR.. ..EQUATORIAL GUINEA.. ..ERITREA.. ..ESTONIA.. ..ETHIOPIA.. ..FALKLAND ISLANDS.. ..FAROE ISLANDS.. ..FIJI.. ..FINLAND.. ..FRANCE.. ..FRENCH GUIANA.. ..FRENCH POLYNESIA.. ..GABON.. ..GAMBIA.. ..GEORGIA.. ..GERMANY.. ..GHANA.. ..GIBRALTAR.. ..GREECE.. ..GREENLAND.. ..GRENADA.. ..GUADELOUPE.. ..GUAM.. ..GUATEMALA.. ..GUINEA.. ..GUINEA-BISSAU.. ..GUYANA.. ..HAITI.. ..HONDURAS.. ..HONG KONG.. ..HUNGARY.. ..ICELAND.. ..INDIA.. ..INDONESIA.. ..IRAN.. ..IRAQ.. ..IRELAND.. ..ISRAEL.. ..ITALY.. ..JAMAICA.. ..JAPAN.. ..JORDAN.. ..KAZAKSTAN.. ..KENYA.. ..KIRIBATI.. ..KUWAIT.. ..KYRGYZSTAN.. ..LATVIA.. ..LEBANON.. ..LESOTHO.. ..LIBERIA.. ..LIECHTENSTEIN.. ..LITHUANIA.. ..LUXEMBOURG.. ..MACAU.. ..MACEDONIA.. ..MADAGASCAR.. ..MALAWI.. ..MALAYSIA.. ..MALDIVES.. ..MALI.. ..MALTA.. ..MARSHALL ISLANDS.. ..MARTINIQUE.. ..MAURITANIA.. ..MAURITIUS.. ..MAYOTTE.. ..MEXICO.. ..MICRONESIA.. ..MOLDOVA.. ..MONACO.. ..MONGOLIA.. ..MONTSERRAT.. ..MOROCCO.. ..MOZAMBIQUE.. ..MYANMAR.. ..NAMIBIA.. ..NAURU.. ..NEPAL.. ..NETHERLANDS.. ..NETHERLANDS ANTILLES.. ..NEW CALEDONIA.. ..NEW ZEALAND.. ..NICARAGUA.. ..NIGER.. ..NIGERIA.. ..NIUE.. ..NORFOLK ISLAND.. ..NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS.. ..NORWAY.. ..OMAN.. ..PAKISTAN.. ..PALAU.. ..PANAMA.. ..PAPUA NEW GUINEA.. ..PARAGUAY.. ..PERU.. ..PHILIPPINES.. ..PITCAIRN.. ..POLAND.. ..PORTUGAL.. ..PUERTO RICO.. ..QATAR.. ..REUNION.. ..ROMANIA.. ..RUSSIAN FEDERATION.. ..RWANDA.. ..SAINT HELENA.. ..SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS.. ..SAINT LUCIA.. ..SAINT PIERRE AND MIQUELON.. ..SAINT VINCENT.. ..SAMOA.. ..SAN MARINO.. ..SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE.. ..SAUDI ARABIA.. ..SENEGAL.. ..SEYCHELLES.. ..SIERRA LEONE.. ..SINGAPORE.. ..SLOVAKIA.. ..SLOVENIA.. ..SOLOMON ISLANDS.. ..SOMALIA.. ..SOUTH AFRICA.. ..SPAIN.. ..SRI LANKA.. ..SUDAN.. ..SURINAME.. ..SVALBARD AND JAN MAYEN.. ..SWAZILAND.. ..SWEDEN.. ..SWITZERLAND.. ..SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC.. ..TAIWAN.. ..TAJIKISTAN.. ..TANZANIA.. ..THAILAND.. ..TOGO.. ..TOKELAU.. ..TONGA.. ..TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO.. ..TUNISIA.. ..TURKEY.. ..TURKMENISTAN.. ..TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS.. ..TUVALU.. ..UGANDA.. ..UKRAINE.. ..UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.. ..URUGUAY.. ..UZBEKISTAN.. ..VANUATU.. ..VENEZUELA.. ..VIETNAM.. ..VIRGIN ISLANDS, BRITISH.. ..VIRGIN ISLANDS, U.S... ..WALLIS AND FUTUNA.. ..WESTERN SAHARA.. ..YEMEN.. ..YUGOSLAVIA.. ..ZAMBIA.. ..ZIMBABWE.. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. ......Fan list management by FanBridge.com.. .... .. .. .. .. ..
