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
