I was first introduced to "The Beez" at last years Corinbank Festival, purely by accident. Myself and a few other photographers decided to venture further up into the bush, towards the smaller "Gibraltar Grove" stage. It was about 10pm and this crazy band from Germany were playing songs that sounded rather familiar. The band was "The Beez" - a cover band the likes of which I have never heard before.
The only way to describe them is by quoting their website:
"The Beez have furnished their house with musical bric-a-brac from around the world – a potpourri of moving, silly, deep and sometimes meaningless pop and rock songs. These songs are, however, anything but common or garden variety.
The four tonal interior decorators from the Beez rearrange and craft a song until a certain stylistically unmistakable Beez Feng Shui emerges.The Beez are at home on any stage and travel light-four voices, two acoustic guitars, an acoustic bass and an accordion and, it has to be said, more than a few costumes…The Beez are renowned as excellent hosts, serving lavish lashings of humour and musicality guaranteed to charm every audience." - (http://www.thebeez.de/)
They are currently touring Australia again and will be peforming in locations around the country. More information can be found here.
Definately check them out if they are playing near you!
In light of this tour, I thought I would post a couple of the photos of them that I took at Corinbank 2009.
