King Parrot & Gay Paris To Hit The Road Together This December

More King Parrot King Parrot Profile

Two of the most highly regarded live acts in the country right now are joining forces for a tour that is simply going to be all kinds of messed up in the greatest possible way.

From Melbourne comes the mighty King Parrot, a five-piece, no-holds-barred, explosive metal band that pull in all manner of genres from hardcore punk rock to grindcore to good old fashioned death metal. On the live stage they're uncompromising, so it's good that they hit the road with some worthy associates.

Sydney's Gay Paris might be a swampy bluesy rock group, but their live shows are like no other swampy blues bands you've seen before. They're dirty as hell, they party like motherfuckers and they're ready to fuck things up all over the country with their new Melburnian mates.

The dates for the shows are below. We recommend wearing clothes you don't mind throwing in the bin afterwards.
