H-Beam's wild stage show pulls influences from a strong upbringing in the entertainment industry. By fusing aspects of theater and music, the band fathers a musical variety show resembling genes of Jim Henson, Rocky Horror and Frank Zappa. Sweeping, psychedelic melodies and bizarre lyrical content propel their sets, as slews of props and masks add to their outrageous on-stage antics. With elaborate compositions pushed to the boundary by weird twisted humor, H-Beam captivates audiences by leaving them with a unique musical experience. The band harnesses the power of sheer sensory overload and imprints a lasting memory in the minds of those that dare to stray from the comforts of predictable rock formulas.
“I fuckin' love this band!!!!!”
Lou Plaia - Co-Founder, ReverbNation
"H-Beam was out of this world. I actually texted a friend during the show with this slightly buzzed description… “It’s like Zappa & The Who are bloodied, but still singing, after a car wreck while Maroon 5 plays on the car’s radio.” Lots of antics, and lots of good times. I was done after H-bomb and headed out, only to find out that porn legend Ron Jeremy rolled in late night."
No Country For New Nashville
“Walberg's Useful Box of Hair album is the most unique collection of songs that I've ever heard! It's Clapton meets Hendrix manic guitar-driven music with lyrics by Hemingway and Zappa. And Charles Manson doing monologues between cuts.”
author, This Business of Concert Promotion and Touring - Rich Barnet
“H-Beam are Nashville's resident psych-weirdo specialists. If you've never seen one of their elaborate live performances or heard the trippy rock H-Beam is noted for, do yourself a favor and check out the release show for their forthcoming album Useful Box of Hair.”
The Deli Magazine
“H-Beam is the Frank Zappa/Mike Patton fix that you’ve been needing for the past 5 years. Their music is spastic, eccentric, non-sensical, and terribly amusing to the point where you find yourself chuckling in your car-seat while on a business call...”
Dune Baydoun - The Dune Review
"One thing's for sure—there is nothing like an H-Beam show in Music City."
Wesley Hodges - The Deli Magazine
““H-Beam cannot be accused of falling into the old Nashville rock rut of shoegazing; their outlandish use of unorthodox instruments and props in a superlative live show set their act a cut above most bands playing the club circuit.””
All The Rage
“H-Beam's performance at Rites of Spring was not for the faint of heart … or the sober. The psychedelic rockers opened up Alumni Lawn on Saturday to a whole new world where giant panda suits, frog masks and lesbian rock opera reigned supreme.
