The Misbegotten

About Me

The Misbegotten are 4 bastard-born guys drawn together from far-flung places, each sharing a common passion for the redemptive buzz of rock ‘n’ roll, the lonesome call of the old Country, and the whisky-soaked wail of porch-sung Blues. Underpinned by a rhythm section comprised of seventies punk-inspired Ewan 'Mearnsy' Mearns on drums and snakehipped Sam Nesbit on bass, the band strive toward a sound that’s drenched in the desperation and isolation of Hank Williams, Jeffrey Lee Pierce, David McComb, and the gothic sound of the 12 bars. Guitarist Greg Robson drawls scuzzy riffs through a low-down, dirty wall of noise, and, in singer Andrew E. Weston, the band are held together, and taken to the edge, by a man inspired by the loneliness, openness, and murderousness of his native West Australian salt lake homeland.
