Their subject matter is exclusively beards, and variations on that theme make up the 5 album back catalogue the band has recorded.

So when they rolled in to The Gov on Saturday night there was no way I was going to miss it.

Dress up bands and their slightly mad audiences got a return to form tonight with The Beards and Franky Walnut, never shy of a novelty tune with a catchy hook.

Who could have imagined that a band who sings about nothing but beards and facial hair could be so popular, let alone conjure up enough beard-based material to release four albums?

Ten of Australia's best-loved artisan breweries rolled the kegs in for this gig marking the triumphant return of The Beards to these shores after an extensive tour around Europe.
