Beards?

I’ve been experiencing lots of different music lately being a music reviewer’s side kick. It is probably beneficial for my indie snob tendencies right?

It has certainly been interesting. 

I learnt not to order margarita pizzas from Transit bar.

We saw this dude:

He made my face hurt from laughing/smiling too much.  I would like to see him have a dance off with Bob Fossil. Yes.

Anyway, last week we saw The Beards and having watched this video I was a little terrified as someone incapable of growing a beard.  Also not having heard any of their music I wondered what the quality of the songs a band who only sang songs on the topic of beards would be.

Now, I don’t like beards in general. They kind of gross me out really, I blame Roald Dahl (I should really stop blaming children’s authors for the state of my mind).  And pash rash is super unfortunate.

So the band! They were fun. Their beards were well groomed and their songs weren’t anywhere near as bad as the ballad my father sang as I left the house to go see them. 

I rather enjoyed A Wizard Needs a Beard and No Beard, No Good. 

And one special punter gave us the experience to "consider having sex with a bearded man" as we jostled to leave the venue. We politely declined.

Sadly, I haven't changed my mind regarding beards. I really wish there was a band devoted to sideburns, as a bar full of sideburned chaps would be quite delightful.
