It seems Melbourne has well and truly embraced Australia’s champions of all things facially hirsute The Beards with news that the Adelaide quartet have just sold out their show at The Corner Hotel on Friday the 16th of March. To cope with the demand and Melbourne’s obvious fondness for bearded men the band have just announced they have added a second Corner Hotel show on Thursday the 15th of March with tickets on sale now. All tickets to shows nationally are selling fast!

For a band that never expected to play more than one show, The Beards have certainly come a long, long way. Forming as a joke to play a single show in Adelaide, the entirely beard-based band have gone on to become underground legends of the Australian music scene. Since the release of their second album, Beards Beards Beards (2009), The Beards have spread their bearded message throughout Australia with constant touring and countless performances all over the country. Now, The Beards are hitting the road again, and bringing with them their much-anticipated third album, Having a Beard is the New Not Having a Beard which is out on March 9th through MGM.
