ABOUT

Genre: "Rag and Bone Rock and Roll" - well, actually we made that one up as our material is quite varied, and no-one we've asked has been able to give us an answer. And we don't know. So we guess we're one of those "genre-blurring" bands. Quirky probably.

Exmouth, Devon based.

We're currently looking for a lead vocalist and drummer.

We play mostly our own material. Yours would be great too.

Lead vocalist: probably female, creative, with some good stage presence as well as a good voice. Willing to have a go at the theremin would be a plus.

Drummer: someone who wants to be creatively part of the band - sometimes we've ideas (which need interpreting!) about how we'd like the drums to sound and sometimes we don't!

Whilst we're definately looking for a vocalist and drummer, we're open to other interesting offers too!

We've all been playing for many years; Beardmixture has been together for about three years. We have a positive, collaborative and organic way of working!
