Bad Ass Beards, Beards and Bands

Aloha Beard

Maybe some would argue that not ALL good things pass through the Bluebird Theater in Denver, but over the years a whole lot of fabulous bands--and fabulous beards--sure have. Meet Brian and his bodacious beard. Brian and his lovely girlfriend Caley recently moved from Hawaii to Boulder and we met them before the Rob Drabkin concert at the Bluebird last Friday. Originally from Texas, Brian hasn't shaved his beard in the past seven years, and shows true dedication by working on his beard 24/7 (we probably don't need to mention that men with beards are especially witty). He's always doing something interesting with his beard, and in his other spare time he's an LSAT teacher, a massage therapist, and dabbles in music himself; an example of a true multi-talented bearded dude. Caley, who works as a doula, of course loves and supports Brian's awesome beard. We wouldn't expect anything less from a bearded man's main lady. Great to meet you and have you and your beard in Colorado!

L.A.M.A. Live Beards

It was our pleasant surprise to encounter three members of Denver's up-and-coming hip-hop band L.A.M.A. Live at the Whiskey Bar last week before their band practice. Ha Boogie (left), Nam (center), and Matt (right) have been playing music together the past two years and counting, and rocking those beards together as well. Ha Boogie hails from Queens, Nam from Brooklyn, and our boy Matt is a Colorado native, but they all three call Denver home now, and they wouldn't change that for the world, because, in their words "The most beautiful women in the world live in Denver." Keep talking like that boys, and sporting those beards, and the ladies will certainly come a calling. Speaking of beautiful women, when asked what their mothers thought of their beards, Ha Boogie said his mom loves it because it makes him look more like his father, Nam's beard is still in its infancy so his mom hasn't weighed in yet, and Matt's mom doesn't like his beard (we, of course, respectively disagree). You can catch L.A.M.A. Live TOMORROW when they open for Vanilla Ice in Lakewood at the Grizzly Rock! Be there.

PBR Proud Beards

We met Alex Townsend and Matt Kiernan at the Ogden Theater on Thursday while they were buying PBR tallboys and preparing to enjoy the Trampled by Turtles show. Matt (right) is a snowboarder who keeps his beard only during Beard Season to keep his face warm. Alex (left) finished his stint in the Air Force in Summer 2009 and has enjoyed the freedom to grow his beard as full and long as he'd like since then. We just missed seeing it even burlier, as he had to trim back his awesome beard for his sister's wedding recently.Both Matt and Alex attest to the fact their mothers are not fans of their beards but we respectfully disagree--all that handsomeness is even better with beards! Matt and Alex work together at Trulia real estate in advertising, and we're sure they don't have any trouble selling property with the help of their amazing beards. Thanks guys!

Beards of Banjos and Brews

Of course we weren’t done with the Trampled beards!
It was a pleasure meeting “Woody” (left) and “D” (right) last week at the show.
We know (perhaps from research) that you can find Woody and his beard slinging brew at the one and only Denver Beer Co. He told us his favorite part about having a beard is the lack of attention it needs and the amount of attention it gets. He must have good taste in women because his girlfriend loves his facial fur. Believe it or not, more milk than beer ends up getting caught in his beard.
D’s from Duluth, MN and is a bluegrass man through and through. We quickly learned that “D” is a man of few words. When asked about what he’d like to say for his beard he told us, “pretty sure the beard speaks for itself”. Sure does, my friend.

Austin Martin

We happened upon Austin (left) and Martin (right) in the balcony of the Ogden theatre as they awaited the Tramped by Turtles to come onstage. Austin left Chicago last April and got to Denver as fast as he could. He’s had his beard since October 14th, when he had to shave for his sister’s wedding--- now that’s love. He loves taking his beard with him to skate parks and concerts. His buddy Martin, who's originally from upstate New York and Germany, now calls Denver home. He used to work in the music industry in mainly ska and hip hop, but now breeds snakes, bull pythons, and other reptiles and sells them from home--up to 40 breeds! With a badass job like that, of course he has an equally bad ass beard. He's kept his beard for the last 10 years or so, and we hope he keeps it for decades more!

Highschool Sweetheart Beard

Roland from Golden! We also met this beauty of a beard at the Trampled show. Is the a pattern here? Roland's been growing his beard for most of 2012. He also is a lucky man and has the support of his beard lovin' beauty---who he happened to meet in the 7th grade. She did mention that if he ever shaves his face she's out the door. Beard loyalty! He recommends using a dry conditioner oil to help keep his locks in check. With beard spottings like this, the Ogden is sure to get more of our paychecks.

Gig City Beard!

Some beards kum and some beards go, this one’s sure to last forever! Holy Chattanooga! Meet Kevin. He’s been a Denver resident for the past 6 years and has almost had his beard that entire time. For the past 5 years, he’s only trimmed it. We need to thank his smokin’ wife for her love and support---when asked if he should ever shave she replied, “hell no”. His kid’s are also huge fans; they got him a book about beards last Father’s Day. His one piece of advice for the beard fans: “Always trim without a guard”.

True Dude

The only thing that could possibly compliment this beard more would be a white Russian milk stache. This fine specimen is Ray from Lakewood. This particular beard is only 3 months young. You can typically find Ray and his beard at a Denver concert venue or up in the Rockies for some alpine love. He’s been a Mary Jane-er (obviously) his whole life but is giving some love to Loveland this ski season. When asked what the biggest joy is that his beard brings him, he told us he loves that it gets him on a lot of cool websites. Best answer yet. We asked him about his grooming schedule and he told us that he let’s the beard be as it will, "the beard must abide”.

Other Worldly Beard

Ryan was another beardie we were lucky enough to meet at the Of Monsters and Men show in Boulder last week. Ryan’s had his beard for about four years, and again, laziness in reference to shaving is the main contributor to his handsome beard. Ryan is another wonderful Colorado native beard: he now lives in Boulder, but grew up in the Littleton area. While growing out that amazing facial mane, he works as a mechanical engineer for the University of Colorado in satellite and space weather research. We’d certainly vouch that his beard is out of this world!

Monstrous yet Manly

We met Brad in Boulder at the Of Monsters and Men show last week. His main reason for growing his beard is, like so many men we encounter, is laziness (in regards to shaving). Brad usually keeps his beard for a month or two before shaving it and starting over. He spent some time in Alaska in recent years, where his beard was really able to grow out to its full glory. We can only imagine how magnificent it was!. Brad and his beard are Colorado natives and we sure hope he decides to extend his beard’s lifetime, at least throughout the current Beard Season!
