To celebrate the release of their latest anthem, You Should Consider Having Sex With a Bearded Man, everyone’s favourite bearded band, The Beards, will hit the road for the 100 Beards National Tour…
Life Music Media invites you to Nathaniel Beard (The Beards) |
Being an entirely beard based band, I’d like to pick a song that’s about beards – but the trouble is there aren’t any (aside from our songs of course). So, I’m going to go with ‘Alone‘ by Custard.
:: What is your favourite Album ::
Baterz Out of Hell by the late, great, and largely unknown Baterz. Every song is original and amazing, and one song (Spidermother) even briefly mentions beards.

…of a land that was once a great bearded nation that has now tragically lost its way.
:: Worst thing to happen to music is ::
Kings of Leon shaving off their beards.

The fact that people still show support to local bands by buying CDs at the merch desk even though they could just download it online… and also Reggie Watts.

Beards.

:: When you were younger you wanted to be ::
A wizard.

Seasick Steve‘s ‘You Can’t Teach an Old Dog New Tricks‘.

It’s a tie between a pie floater and a packet of Mars Bar Pods, poured into a bowl of full cream milk, and eaten like cereal.
:: The first thing you do when you wake up is ::
Run my hands through my beard and thank God (who has a beard) that beards are back.

Never, ever shave.
