Welcome to "Bunbeard" - no words necessary

Chanting propaganda and getting their message out there is the first priority for four-piece internationally renowned band, The Beards.

Referring to the Adelaide band as “four wise men that followed the same selective star”, guitarist Facey McStubblington said the first meeting was an instant connection.

“Without a word, we just nodded at each and we knew what we had to do – write songs about beards,” McStubblington said.

Communication is not one of the band’s strong points and according to McStubblington, music is not important to them either.

“We find language is not necessary.

“We just look at each other and nod or point and grunt – it was years before I even found out their names,” McStubblington said.

The band formed in 2005, a time McStubblington describes as a dark time for beards, as they weren’t as popular as they are now.

After a series of beard propaganda DVD’s failed to get their message across, the foursome turned to music to chant their beliefs, which they directly believe has changed the social dynamic of the beard-loving culture today.

Having released four albums and performed around the world, McStubblington said playing in Bunbury or “Bunbeard” as they like to call it, is one of the best locations.

“I think nearly all of our shows have been sold out or close to sold out with a lot of enthusiasm about beards and bearded people.

“The beardless should come along too and they will experience a spiritual epiphany where they realise OMB (oh my beard) I am going to grow myself a beard.

“That moment in our set and for the rest of their lives, they will be better people,” McStubblington said.

The facial hair fanatics will be spreading their message at the Prince of Wales on May 7.
