After
an already huge 2012 which has seen The Beards release their acclaimed 3rd
album Having A Beard Is The New Not Having A Beard, completely sell out
one national tour, amass some insanely huge figures online and head out on
their second massive national tour within the space of 6 months, the band have
also just been nominated for their first ARIA for Best Comedy Release.
When
asked for his thoughts on this ARIA nomination The Beards vocalist Johann
Beardraven confessed, “We were a little confused. We thought the nomination was
for best beard band but it turns out it was for best comedy, which makes no
sense because we're not joking. Seriously, grow a beard!”
This
ARIA nomination comes at the start of The Beards latest national tour which
takes in 35 shows right across the country and celebrates the release of the
brilliant animated clip for the single Got Me A Beard which has already clocked
up over 330,000 views on YouTube.
