The last chance to catch The Beasts of Bourbon this year on their

Mating Rituals Tour!

Australia's heavy hitting bastards of rock, The Beasts of Bourbon get back on the road one last time for the year for an East Coast and regional tour of Oz playing their own special brand of blues infused rock n roll. For the Mating Rituals tour The Beasts are teaming up with Melbourne legends Magic Dirt and underground rock royalty Roland S. Howard in a show that promises to deliver a big enough hit of dirty rock n roll to leave you flat on your arse for a week.

With their new album Little Animals (out now thru Alberts) receiving rave reviews after its release in April this year, and brand spanking new single I Told You So at radio now, the band have a new sense of clarity  and enthusiasm so have decided to play one more round of shows for the Aussie fans this year.

Beasts of Bourbon have announced Children Collide will be joining the craziness on the road for their national tour to celebrate the release of their new album, 'Little Animals

Children Collide, from Melbourne, have been playing pubs around the country for the last couple of years and partied with the Beasts at the recent SxSW Festival. They released their debut 'We Three, Brave and True' in 2005 and another killer EP 'Glass Mountain Liars' in 2006. The duo, Johnny and Heath, are more than ready to take on the Beasts live in June.

And old mates SixFtHick, who have just returned to Oz from creating havoc overseas, are celebrating their 10^th year together, and will also join the 'Little Animals' bash on their home ground in Brisbane.

They are all going to run riot for dedicated fans that have been hanging to see the Beasts in action again with their first studio album in nearly a decade.

Their first single from the album, I Don't Care About Nothing Anymore, demonstrates the vigorously unpredictable atmosphere we have all been missing. And there are nine other tracks that give us every good reason to get excited about the new edition to their explosive repertoire and even more enthusiastic about seeing the Beasts play live in June.

After 23 years playing dirty rock n roll together, the Beasts still have what it takes to play a kick arse live show.   So be prepared for them to release their animosity on us again with the help of Children Collide and SixFtHick when they play together in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Fremantle.

And after their home assault is wrapped up, the Beasts will be indulging audiences again when they tour Europe in July.

Little Animals is out NOW through Albert Productions and Sony BMG.
