KING PARROT + WEEDEATER (USA)
with guests: ASTRODEATH + CHOOF
KING PARROT have earned the reputation as one of Australia's most ferocious and chaotic live metal acts having created a sound and identity uniquely their own through years of punishing the road on countless tours both here and abroad. Combining elements of grindcore, death and thrash metal and hardcore punk, the sound is infused with their own distinctive and unmistakable approach. Fresh out of the studio after completing work on their brand new studio album, the band are ready to hit the road and showcase their wares. With multiple ARIA nominations and appearances on stages all over the world alongside acts like Pantera, Obituary, Exodus, Lamb of God and Soulfly, the boys from Melbourne are no strangers to the big stage. Receiving a rousing reception at Knotfest Australia earlier in the year, the homegrown Aussie grind juggernaut are firing on all cylinders and chomping at the bit to deliver a rabid headline show seasoned with new material.
WEEDEATER hail from North Carolina USA and these sludge-toned tar-heels need no introduction to anyone who dabbles in the arts of stoner, sludge and doom metal. Their last voyage to the land down under was back in 2016 and they've been hankering to return ever since. With a back catalogue boasting such classics as God Luck and Good Speed, Jason...The Dragon and Goliathan, these albums play like hymnals on a Sunday morning to the stoner doom elite. Australian fans should prepare for a gargantuan onslaught of titanic riffs as Weedeater chase the dragon all over Australia with their longtime touring partners King Parrot; North America and Europe have had plenty of this devastating duo in the past, now it's Australia's turn!
Support nationally comes from Sydney's heavy groove exponents Astrodeath and the most savage and ruthless act to come out of Melbourne in years, Choof.

Tasmania has been getting alot of press lately, you've finally got your own footy team, there's an art gallery, and a hipster metal festival. Cool.
King Parrot is coming back in June! and the boys will be decimating not only Launceston and Hobart, but Devenport for the first time too! Don't hold back on heading down to the watering hole, ripping into the debauchery and heckling King Parrot with your best one liners, only to be belittled by a band who pride themselves on making you feel smaller than a dwarf at a Sumo wrestling match.
After recently wreaking havoc at the Knotfest Australia and supporting Pantera in Adelaide, it's time for Tasmania to get their dose of Australia's bastard sons of metal. Thursday June 20 at Pub Rock Devonport, Friday June 21 at Royal Oak Launceston and Saturday June 22 at Republic Bar.
If you've been keeping an eye on the bands socials you'll see they've been writing new material and will most definitely be showcasing some of it for the Taswegians. Come one, come all, Tickets on sale now: kingparrot.oztix.com.au

After a returning from a 34 date North American tour supporting Pantera, Lamb of God, Weedeater and a slew of our own headlining dates, we'll be heading to Gosford, Canberra and Sydney to round out a massive year of touring in 2023.
Tickets are on sale now for the last King Parrot shows of of the year including a long awaited return to Gosford, a massive Saturday night in Canberra and a Sunday arvo boat cruise on Sydney Harbour!
Australia's bastard sons of grind King Parrot have announced their return to North America. The visceral gang of hoons from down under last ventured across the pond back in 2018, and have been toiling away in Australia until the right moment to invade North America.
With their latest EP "Holed Up in the Lair" unleashed during the Covid era, the band are ready to hit the road and do what they do best... Destroy stages everywhere as only King Parrot know how! Not only will they appear at festivals like Full Terror Assault and RPM Fest, they'll also play alongside metal legends Pantera and Lamb of God at 5 massive shows on the East Coast, a further 6 shows with stoner giants Weedeater and a slew of headlining dates around the rest of the USA and Canada.
The band have been keeping busy touring throughout Australia in support of their latest 7" EP "Holed Up In The Lair"; a blistering example of what the band is truly capable of and showcases a fresh sound from the band while staying true to their roots.
The animation video for the track "Kick Up A Stink" rolls through in typical King Parrot style; absurd, hilarious and ridiculous and is the perfect accompaniment to their unique and off-kilter amalgamation of grindcore, thrash and punk rock.
Vocalist Matt Young comments on the impending tour "It's bloody satisfying to announce our return to North America and continue the work that we have done over the last decade. It really was our second home before the world stood still for a minute, so to have this opportunity to pick up where we left off is something we are truly grateful for.
The honour of supporting Pantera is something we don't take lightly, and there was no way in hell we were going to turn that down. King Parrot has a hell of a point to prove, and we have just as much venom in us as the day we first set foot on US soil in 2014. We'll see you all on the road real soon, so prepare for carnage in the pit!".

For the first time ever King Parrot will play their debut album "Bite Your Head Off" in its entirety to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the release.
A lot has happened since the rabid debut record was unleashed on the unsuspecting public and King Parrot has since forged itself as a household name in the Aussie metal scene. From gruelling back to back international tours with some of metal's biggest names to continuously tearing up and down the East Coast and all over Australia, King Parrot have made no secret of their desire to put on face-melting, high energy performances that leave absolutely everything on the stage. As a special one off treat, the band will play every song from "Bite Your Head Off" as has been requested from fans for many years.
Never to be outdone on putting together a monster lineup, joining the bill on this momentous occasion will be master riff lords from the nation's capital Witchskull, and Sydney's heavy sludge merchant's Black Rheno.
To round out the bill there's 3 of Melbourne's best to make this a show not to miss; The sonic psychedelic rock stylings of Spawn, the off kilter schizoid grind of Pissbolt and the dark and heavy blasts of newcomers Munt. DO NOT MISS THE CHAOS!
Check out the brand new winter merch range we have been working on with our friends at Artist First! For the first time we have windbreakers, check shirts and even a god damn coffee mug!

It's a great little EP and we have had countless requests from fans to press it on vinyl over the years. Here it is in all its glory, so snap them up while they are available!"

With recent government lockdowns continuing to make life for touring bands a complete headf#ck, King Parrot continues on to bring us their "10 Years Of The Grindin' Frashin' Punk Rock Wrecking Machine" anniversary tour. Having had to reschedule their shows that were booked for this month's heavy rituals in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, King Parrot are not backing down and already have new dates locked in as they move as best they can with the continually changing climate.
All tickets purchased for the original dates are valid for the new ones, and of course, if you can not make the new dates and you have a ticket it can be easily refunded from the purchase point. With the first round of KP's 10-year anniversary tour down with Adelaide and Melbourne receiving a proper rawkus event in true King Parrot style. The guys have made it their mission to bring this hell-raising heavy 10-year celebration to as many of their fans as possible.
Ten years is a hell of a long time to be in a band, let alone being in the gargantuan touring wrecking machine that is King Parrot. Broken teeth, skinned knees, black eyes and empty cans are all in a days work for the boys in KP! And ten years of surviving this beastly ride is more than reason enough to hit the road and celebrate it with their hordes of fans all around Australia. Now that restrictions have eased and there's been a "dipping of the toes" back into the live foray, King Parrot are excited to get back out onto the live circuit to celebrate their 10-year anniversary.
After the release of their "Holed Up In The Lair EP last year, it's been odd that KP hasn't had the chance to support the release through their usual rambunctious and off-kilter live performances... That's all about to change. With a sense of urgency among the camp and a renewed vigour, King Parrot will once again grace the stages of this great nation to deliver their revered visceral performance to the masses. If you'd thought a King Parrot show was wild in the past, then strap yourself in and get ready for the country's most engaging and furious live act as the energy in the KP camp is beyond tipping point. The guys are simply chomping at the bit to get out and unleash their unique grinding frashing punk rock wrecking machine around the country as they hit stages from July right through to December. These will definitely be some of the most packed out and crazy shows you will see in Australia this year and will no doubt be ones for the ages!

King Parrot have a fierce reputation for delivering highly engaging, original and at times downright twisted music videos. Playing off the ragtag bunch of characters that make up the band, it always makes for compelling viewing.
This time around the boys are created as animes with the exceptionally talented artist Mike Foxall providing the incredible and downright hilarious animation. Usual suspect/cult hero Slatts Everyday finds himself in a dilemma after running out of bog roll. Chaos ensues as he becomes entwined in a shitty situation', with a tongue in cheek jibe at the state of the world's current affairs. Matt Young states:
"When the opportunity arose to work with Mike Foxall on a new video we couldn't pass it up. We were already fans of his artwork and his videos are awesome. His style meshes seamlessly with what we do, so it made sense to get this collaboration underway. The result speaks for itself, another chapter of King Parrot absurdity".
We won't say too much more about it, but once again King Parrot don't disappoint. Watch the clip and witness the wizardry of cinematography for yourself.
The new single "Nor Is Yours" featuring Phil Anselmo is streaming now, check it out below:
King Parrot release new single "Banished, Flawed then Docile"
& announce new EP "Holed up in the Lair".
Out through Dead Set Records + Artist First
Australia's maniac sons, King Parrot, are back with a blistering new track called "Banished, Flawed the Docile", and it's an absolute screamer. Delivering their uncompromising brand of thrashy, punked-out grindcore chaos, this is just the first taste off their soon to be released EP entitled "Holed up in the Lair". With King Parrot being the forever marching forward road dogs and now being three albums deep having toured the band extensively throughout the world since the release of their debut album "Bite Your Head' off back in 2012. It's not surprising to find out they had a 4 Track EP they recorded in Louisiana USA, just sitting in their sock drawer waiting to be released, I mean, who else can say that right?
We're told, the EP was recorded during some time off between tours, the intention was simple "4 days, four tracks, write em', record em' and be done with it"... and with this being the first taste of the results, we're pretty keen to hear the rest. This four-day writing and recording session was guided by engineer Steve "Big Fella" Berrigan, a man who has worked on records for Down, EYEHATEGOD, Superjoint, Warbeast, Child Bite and Philip H Anselmo and The Illegals. The crew smashed it out within the super tight schedule while recording at Nodferatus Lair in Louisiana in late 2017. It definitely has that production style and feel that NOLA has become known for, while still remaining unapologetically King Parrot through and through. These songs have been sitting unreleased since 2017, lying dormant, lurking, waiting, until now.
After recently remixing and mastering the tracks, and with the world in such turmoil, King Parrot have decided to share with us these rare and raw balls to the wall recordings. This recording not only giving us some new King Parrot tunes to blast our heads off, but it's also grants us a glimpse of what they can do, so seemingly effortlessly at the drop of a hat. King Parrot gets thrown into a studio randomly with no songs written on some days off while touring and we end up with some golden nuggets. It really is a great insight into how quickly these guys can pull together some killer tunes and a great example of what a super tight band can do. This is what you get from years of touring, tons of shows and countless hours of writing together. You get a beast of a band that works so well and has the capability to create great music out of nothing. And lucky for us, especially those who get in quick, King Parrot have decided on releasing a limited edition 7" record of only 1000 copies available worldwide. The EP will be available from all the usual streaming platforms, but you'd want to be quick to get in on one of these limited 7" vinyl packs.
Here's what King Parrot vocalist, Matt Young had to say about the release:
"Usually King Parrot always try to write music together in the same room, but that just hasn't been possible for us because of the lockdown. We were planning on re-working these tracks for a new album eventually, but when all the restrictions came about, we thought "Why not get these tracks out there as a special limited edition 7" release?". We think King Parrot fans will be happy with these tracks, it's rude, loud, fast and grimey and we poured our heart and soul into them; there's no doubting its unabashedly KP!"
Kings Parrots EP "Holed Up In The Lair" drops on October 9th and will be available through all online platforms. If you want to get your hands on some vinyl then you'd better be quick, pre-sales are up now for their limited run of only 1000 7" Vinyl pressing available worldwide.

Thrash Blast Grind Tour - Australia / New Zealand May 21 - 31, 2020
KING PARROT + EXHUMED (USA)
with special guests: KING + THEORIES (USA)
THRASH BLAST GRIND TOUR is back to appease the never-ending bloodthirsty hunger of metal heads all over Australia and New Zealand this coming May!
This year sees KING PARROT celebrating their 10th anniversary as a band and what better way to do it than headlining the ever-evolving Thrash Blast Grind tour alongside Exhumed, KING and Theories. Like a pitchfork to the skull King Parrot will tear through your eyes, ears and brain with their well renowned reckless and savage live shows.
It's been a long time coming, but EXHUMED are finally back with their ghastly and gore drenched death metal formula. With their new album 'Horror', Exhumed, through their sonic meat grinder continue to churn out the repulsive and splattered chunks of aural carnage they are known for.
Melbourne's melancholic blackened metal force, KING, bring the spirit of old while carving a new path. Epic while remaining raw, majestic while retaining a primitive atmosphere. Released late last year, the new album COLDEST OF COLD forges black metal of the most monumental scale.
Chopping out their own grisly niche, THEORIES bring an intense and inscrutable sound to the Thrash Blast Grind table. Arising from the USA, this three headed chaos outfit will outstrip the under prepared right from the get go.

King Parrot joined by Dead Kelly onstage for first ever live appearance!
A lucky crowd of heavy music fans in Maroochydore were treated to a rare and unique experience on Friday night at the Solbar. Melbourne grindcore maniacs King Parrot, who are currently on their Regional Rampage tour around Australia, were joined by none other than Dead Kelly for their first ever appearance live onstage. Dead Kelly members 'Pine Cone Throat' and 'Stanley Knife' joined King Parrot for a stellar rendition of the classic KP track 'Shit on the Liver'. A stage invasion by the crowd ensued and both King Parrot and Dead Kelly members made the most of a photo opportunity with the audience members. Dead Kelly's rise to popularity in recent years has been a result of their epic animated video series "The Legend of Borry", extraordinary musicality and the development of cult members Pine Cone Throat and Stanley Knife.

After stomping their way through the nation's capital cities last December in support of their devastating new album 'Ugly Produce', King Parrot stay true to their insatiable work ethic announcing a new edition of their 'Regional Rampage' Tour for 2018. King Parrot always stay true to touring the regional centres of Australia, and this April will see them venture on a massive east coast tour encompassing every nook and cranny from Victoria to far north Queensland. Along for the ride on their first ever visit to Australia will be the USA's Child Bite after releasing 'Negative Noise' on Housecore Records in 2017. The lethal duo have blitzed their way through North America on many tours over the last few years, and King Parrot believe their Australian audiences will love the addition of Child Bite, one of their all-time favourite bands.
A further treat for fans will see both acts offering their services to play at your house! That's right, you heard it correctly, you could have King Parrot and Child Bite playing a private show for you and your mates at your house. Check out Parlour Tours for more information and date availability to ensure that you get in quick for this rare opportunity: http://parlour.tours/kingparrot
'Ugly Produce' peaked at number 21 on the ARIA charts, an unheard-of feat for any grind core band in this country. The release saw King Parrot travel to North America, Europe and Japan late in 2017 and the band are ready to take to the road once again. The videos for "Ten Pounds of Shit in a Five Pound Bag" and "Piss Wreck" further added to the collection of memorable and entertaining cult videos spewing forth from the KP brains trust. Go pay a visit to Youtube if you haven't seen them, you won't be disappointed. The tour kicks off at the first ever Download Festival in Melbourne and trashes and tramples its way all up the east coast through April! Get your tickets NOW!
