Even watching this video you can see how The Beta Band had a all the ingredients to become a big band in the music industry. Their music was good tons of people went to their concerts and they were just full of personality. To this day I can't figure out, why didn't the Beta Band go big.
They had a lot of credibility especially after the frankly staggering Three Eps but they kind of were not an easy to fit in the box band Worth noting too that various members had quite serious problems in terms of mental health They definitely a band who if they reunited would be bigger , they definitely have the body of work and legacy . For me they were a startling innovative band so fresh I don’t care whether how many know it’s their loss I got the albums still enjoy them till this day
It’s because their first full length album was absolutely terrible. They even said so. They found it difficult to regain the momentum. And by that time music had changed and people had moved on.
@@mericpine I mean an artist saying their work is terrible doesn't really mean it truly is. In fact if they are so self critical most likely it is not total trash. Plus that album has songs such as "It's not too beautiful" which is a masterpiece
The debut album was not terrible - quite the opposite. It’s the perfect counterpoint to The 3 EP’s. The albums that came later had some good songs but we’re not strong albums IMO.
