Did you know that if your dad doesn’t have a beard, you’ve got two mums? How about that it only takes a fortnight to grow a decent beard? Did you know that beards don’t kill people, people with beards kill people? Or that you should consider having sex with a bearded man?

Well, if you do, there’s a good chance you’re a fan of hirsute Adelaide outfit The Beards, who’ve been spreading the gospel of beards for a few years now, ensuring everyone who has a beard wears it with pride and everyone who can’t grow one hangs their head in shame.

The band recently took the good word about beards overseas and in the lead-up to their gig at the Think Tank in Newcastle, the band took to their official Facebook page to share their backstage rider and we must say, it’s absolutely glorious.

Readers can check out the full rider below and then maybe head down to our comments section to explain to us just what the hell a “cheese towel” is or where one can find a “beard-sized” towel. Nice to see the venue managed to get the party poppers sorted.
