Band information
King Parrot is a thrashy grind band from Melbourne formed by three ex-members of Watchdog Discipline (White, Lacey and Rizzo) plus Young from Stiff Meat and Cockfight Shootout bassist Slattz. The band fired off an EP in short order and quickly became firmly established as an energetic and punishing live force. Former Dreadnaught member Squiz joined the band following Lacey's departure and after plenty of touring the band's full length release appeared mid-2012 ahead of appointments at most of the Bastardfest shows. Since then the band has rarely been off the road as they play extensively Australia-wide, doing shows of their own as well as a regional Victorian tour with Frankenbok and Dreadnaught and opening for Obituary in Melbourne. In April 2012 King Parrot announced they had signed an international deal with Candlelight Records.
