Beargarden was an Australian new wave band from Melbourne which, though well regarded critically, failed to achieve widespread success. It evolved directly from the post-punk group The Ears which disbanded in 1981 and reformed under the new name with Ross Farnell replacing Cathy McQuade on bass. The other members were Sam Sejavka (vocals) Mick Lewis (guitar), Carl Manuell (drums) and Gus Till (keyboards). Lewis was replaced later that year by Shane Andalou.
