The Bevis Frond

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bevis Frond is a musical group whose range covers hard edge to melancholy vintage indie rock to poetic, 'classic-rock' songcraft with a thick Walthamstow accent. Nick Saloman is the band's frontman and songwriter. Albums are usually entirely or nearly all recorded by Saloman. For performances, The Bevis Frond usually has Adrian "Ade" Shaw on bass. Bevis Frond material is typically released on Saloman's own Woronzow Records label, and is frequently featured in the Ptolemaic Terrascope magazine and accompanying records/CDs. The Bevis Frond also record with and write much of the material for US singer Mary Lou Lord.
