Balthazar B and The Beatitudes

About Me

Hello, we're a rock n roll band called Balthazar B and the Beatitudes. I'm Balthazar B and I have two friends known as the Beatitudes: Tom and Dan. Originally we came from a little town near Brighton called Seaford but we are usually based in London these days.

We're working on our debut album right now so there are a lot of songs we're desperate to unveil but can't yet. However, you can download the Beastly EP for free from our website which was the very first batch of our recordings together. Even since then our sound has progressed a lot so we are very excited about next year when we will release the album and start touring the UK.
