Saturday afternoon, I stopped by the Horseshoe because we heard there was a free BBQ (and who doesn’t like free food). While there, we caught Australian band The Beards, who do all have beards. Oh yeah, and their entire set was about beards. Apparently they have three albums full of songs about beards.

While gimicky, their performance was highly entertaining. The bearded frontman stroke his beard while sporting kazoo, saxophone and keytar. They sang songs with titles “No Beard No Good”, “If Your Dad Doesn’t Have A Beard You’ve Got Two Moms” and “You Should Consider Having Sex With A Bearded Man”.

At Sonic Boom Saturday morning, Grounders played to a varied audience of adults and hyper children. Andrew Davis’ warm vocals and the band’s jangly pop sounds were welcoming to all. It’s no wonder they have been signed to Nevado Records (home of Library Voices and Yukon Blonde). I remember the last time I saw them (probably a year or more ago) there was a laptop on stage, but this time there wasn’t one. I’m glad that they decided to do everything live.
