Despite all members of the band being under 18 years of age, The Beefs performed in pubs and clubs across Sydney's inner west 5 nights a week for a period of 4 years, before disbanding in 1990 when Alex Lloyd left to form a new group called 'Mother Hubbard'. During this period The Beefs met Malcolm Young of AC/DC who took Mitch Grainger and the band into Albert's studios to record.
