The Beta Band
profiles
First Badly Drawn Boy, then Doves, now the Beta Band. Is there, like, some sort of beard requirement for Glastonbury or what? Never mind. The Betas are an unpredictable lot - the last time we saw them we had to come in fancy dress and they were prone to breaking into extremely rubbish but highly amusing rapping - but the shambolic air of their earlier shows has since morphed into a beautiful chaos. Everything from rock, hip-hop, dub, easy listening and folk, is thrown into the Beta barrel and given a enthusiastic whipping of whimsy, for an ultimately ridiculous but delicious experience. Wear wellies, and bring a snorkel. They're that kind of band.The Beta Band site
