NEW BEARD ANNOUNCE NY SHOWS
PREMIERE "I WALK THE STREETS" VIDEO
PREMIERE "I WALK THE STREETS" VIDEO
NYC's most exciting and strange new group NEW BEARD announce summer shows in support of their upcoming 'NEW BEARD CITY' LP co-produced by frontman Ben Wigler (Arizona) and Dungen's Gustav Ejstes. You've never seen a band like New Beard. With influences from Elliot Smith to Megadeth and Japanese folk, these bearded weirdos are: a hobbit with the voice of an angel (Ben Wigler), a virtuousic electric tuba player (Tuba Joe Exley), a singly named lefty guitar wizard (Yazan), a sax blasting girl (Maria Christina Eisen), and a Japanese-singing, uber-hyper drummer (Tony Waldman) whose percussive performances on a custom-made glow in the dark drumkit are genuine religious experiences.
New Beard play June 4 at Mercury Lounge at 6:30 giving you the chance to hear brand new album tracks and have the rest of the night to figure out just what hit you! A June 22 show in Brooklyn offers the first opportunity to buy 'New Beard City' before its June 26 release on SHOULDER TAP RECORDS, and July 3 is the Record Release Party at Mercury where they will perform 'New Beard City' in full and early ticketholders can get free merch! All info below. Press tix available.
Catch the video premiere of 'New Beard City' unreleased track "I Walk The Streets" via Magnet Magazine who say "Beautiful women, fake beards and regurgitation! New Beard’s video for “I Walk the Streets” has it all. It’s wonderfully weird." Watch it here: http://bit.ly/LKT7bi

“A Brooklyn band like no other you've ever heard” - TheMuseInMusic
“One of the year's best debuts” - ObscureSounds
“Strange yet enticing, Brooklyn-based band New Beard flies in the face of the antiquated notion of “genre”” - KUT
"The quartet showcases an enormous bag of tricks, and the orchestration has expanded to flutes, strings, tuba and the many manner of ways that express the kind of dreamy sadness Ben Wigler has made his own" - The Deli
