The concept of The Beards is simple: A folk-rock band that exclusively perform songs about just one subject: Beards.
Forming in 2005 to perform one show only in their hometown of Adelaide, South Australia, The Beards soon found their truly unique concept in hot demand and were booked to play more shows. Rising to the challenge, the quartet continued to grow their beards longer and longer, and continued to write more and more songs about beards. As they played around town, word spread, and their fanbase grew. By 2007, the band enjoyed a local cult following. But this was just the beginning. The advent of online social networking led to a global fanbase, and in 2009, the band traveled all the way to Alaska to perform at the opening ceremony of the World Beard & Moustache Championships. To date, they have recorded two full-length studio albums; a live DVD; received national radio play; produced a hugely successful film clip for their song If Your Dad Doesn’t Have a Beard You’ve Got Two Mums; and extensively toured Australia, gaining themselves a strong national fanbase.

That's us, hiding in the bushes, waiting for you to stumble by in the dark...that's us, at the back of the bus, smoking and reading girlie mags...that's us, spreading rumours 'bout your shady past and that's us, tearing the stage apart at the Crown & Anchor with the illustrious Don Fernando fresh from Hellburn Victoria and the half a brick in a sock that is Desert Crooks!!
