Proving themselves more and more with each passing month, the Melbourne grindlords King Parrot have announced a string of shows in the wake of their recent new drummer announcement and furthermore as a way to showcase new material never before heard. And all before King Parrot head off on their upcoming tour of North America for an extended touring season. Labelled as the ‘Winter Blizzard’ tour, and presented by New World Artists and Extreme Management, the tour will round out the rest of King Parrot’s busy 2014 schedule.

The non-stop touring juggernaut of King Parrot rolls on, this time announcing a new winter tour and their partnership with booking agency New World Artists (Dead Letter Circus, Northlane, Thy Art is Murder, In Heart’s Wake). The 10 show tour will introduce new drummer Todd Hansen (The Bezerker, Rome) to the fold.

The electrifying live show with an energy and intensity unsurpassed, made waves in the USA on their 45 date North American tour earlier this year. King Parrot were named as one of the top 3 acts at South by South West in Austin, Texas by leading US music news site Metal Injection and earned the praise of Phil Anselmo, Mike Williams and Chuck Billy. To top it all off the band has also signed with Extreme Management Group in New York, to share a roster with the likes of Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Cryptopsy and Origin. Don’t miss what will be the last time you catch King Parrot on Australian soil for quite some time.

Supports are to be announced next week. Tickets are on sale now via Oztix.
