Australian underground legends The Beads are back. After their 2009 release Beards Beards Beards the band seemed to vanish from the Australian music scene. However thankfully, after a well deserved break, they are back, announcing their third album Having a Beard is the New Not Having a Beard.
The Beards, who originally started out as a band who would play only one gig for kicks, have left that idea of a one-off show far behind. The Having a Beard is the New Not Having a Beard Australian Tour 2012 will take in QLD, NSW, ACT VIC, TAS, SA & WA as one of Australia’s most original bands hammers home its steadfast message: Grow a beard. The album will be released through MGM and available at all good record stores and online from Friday March 9th, 2012.
