Fancy breakfasting with The Beths?

KEEPING in touch when you’re overseas can always be tough – especially when you’re a busy band on a hectic schedule. But Kiwi indie darlings The Beths have seriously raised the bar when it comes to letting their fans see behind the scenes.

Over the past few years bassist Ben Sinclair has been keeping their breakfastandtravelupdates.com blog updated with a hilarious and informative glimpse of their lives via videos, pics and anecdotes. Its deadpan humour is a perfect match for the band, and it’s strangely addictive.

The past four weeks have involved a whistle-stop tour of the UK and Europe, and we’ve been able to enjoy every step of the way, from turning up to the wrong venue in Amsterdam, to the ongoing drama of cardboard ‘‘box 1’’, to the revelation that some UK hotels are mandated to ‘‘double as nuclear blast shelters’’. And all the while, Ben keeps us up to date with the band’s breakfast choices – including a pork-and-marmite sausage roll in Bristol.

The Beths are off to the US in July – and it will be well worth while logging on to see what they’re up to.
