Биография

Founded in Denton, Texas, in 2000, symphonic punk collective The Wee-Beasties has established that it is here for a good time and for a long time. Fronted by the larger-than-life, beer-guzzling, mostly-naked Richard Haskins, The Wee-Beasties are a spectacle. Known for its onstage antics, the band’s shows have included BDSM demonstrations, Chippendales costumes, and the heroic consumption of countless cans of Lone Star beer (or whatever is cheapest). However, for all The Wee-Beasties’ wild theatrics, the band is surprisingly well-organized and diverse, consisting of drums, two guitars, a bass and a colorful cast of horn players. The band could easily be a cacophonous mess without the help of the best and brightest musicians from Denton’s highly praised music scene. For the cult following the band has built for over two decades, there is no greater show on earth. The Wee-Beasties are a band that absolutely must be seen to be believed.
