beard radio goes to instal
Tonight's Beard radio sees us anticipating the amazing Instal festival. We're very lucky indeed to have such a bold and exciting festival of experimental and avant-garde music in Glasgow. Curator Barry Esson will be telling us all about it and we'll be playing some tunes by Instal artists, past and present. In addition to that we'll be bringing you socialist art-song, stoner rock, wonky bass and desert sludge. Tasty.

beard asks you to kill your timid notion
On this week's show we'll be previewing Kill Your Timid Notion, Dundee's pioneering festival devoted to exploring the borders between sound and vision. Brought to you by the good people behind Glasgow's Instal Festival and The Music Lover's Field Companion in Gateshead, KYTN brings together experimental music, performance, art and film, making for an experience that'll open your ears, eyes, and mind. While we can only represent the sonic side of the festival, we hope our selections will have you intrigued - expect to hear sounds electric and acoustic, digital and analogue, human and animal. We're not joking about the animals by the way.

All that plus the usual mix of miscued records, overuse of the word "awesome", and new tracks from some of our favourite artists.

beard radio episode 3
From hurricane lashed Texas to a dreich Glasgow, Beard co-founder Neil Jaques is back! And he's brought some amazing old records from his father-in-law's collection with him. Meanwhile, Stewart will be dropping some recently acquired bombs. So after a barrage of new releases for our first show, we fancied going for a kind of new old theme this week. So we'll be winding back a couple of years, then back to the 1940s, before beaming right back through time again, like music geek timelords.

beard radio episode 2
Gather round ye feral children and worshippers of Pogon. Fire up the crystal set and let Beard Radio lift you heavenward on radiant beams of feedback and breath. Or in other words, tune in at 7pm tomorrow to hear Stewart and regular guest Matt, aka Guanoman, mumble and miscue some very good records. Huzzah!

the return of beard radio
Stewart and Neil, the young shavers behind the award-winning Glasgow periodical Beard., return on Monday 15th at 7pm. On this week's show we'll be discussing the recent Colour Out Of Space festival in Brighton and welcoming our special guest Lo-Fi Bri, who's flown all the way from Florida to play us some choice numbers. Don't want to give away our playlist, but to give you a few clues expect guitar shredding math-pop, underwater dream-dirge and much tautological mangling.
