We guess New Beard is a kind of band where lady musicians are (implicitly) not invited, since it looks like to be in it you MUST proudly wear some kind of facial hair. Now, while we are aware of the existence of bearded women, we have to say that for some reason they don’t seem to live anywhere near NYC…
The four "beardos", including Ben Wigler (who was wearing one back in 2007, when he appeard on the cover of The Deli Magazine with his previous band Arizona), are all very accomplished musicians and play some very eclectic and pushy indie blues-rock with influences ranging from the exotic to the psych/prog. The band will be releasing their debut EP "Moment of Peace" at Cameo on 12.18, which we are sure will be a good old fashioned rock’n’roll blast. Recommended.
