King Parrot have recently wrapped up their monstrous tour around North America with Pantera and Amon Amarth. Not a band to sit on their hands, they are heading back out on the road here at home this week for Part 2 of their Australian Album launch tour for the new record “A Young Person’s Guide to King Parrot“.
The Everblack Podcast caught up with Matt ‘Youngy’ Young from King Parrot to talk about Part 2 of their Australian album launch tour for the new record “A Young Person’s Guide to King Parrot.” Youngy also shares stories from their massive U.S. stadium tour with Pantera, what it was like opening for Acid Bath, and gives an update on the status of his side project CrisisAct with the Haley brothers. He also discusses the recent passing of Ozzy Osbourne and reflects on his monumental impact on the world of heavy music, as well as what’s next for King Parrot and more.

Bringing in all of the spots that were missed on Part 1, King Parrot remains 100% committed to dismantling Australia town by town, city by city and with a smorgasbord of new tracks on offer, this new live show is pushing the band into unchartered territory.
“A Young Person’s Guide to King Parrot” is the bands strongest release to date and has seen the band going from strength to strength all over the globe. So far this year, the boys have been to Europe for 36 shows, they’ve headlined their own successful album launch tour on the East Coast of Australia and are now smashing through a 43 date run of North America after being invited by Pantera to return to the US as support.
It’s easy to see why King Parrot continues to forge a reputation as one of Australia’s hardest working and entertaining acts. This part 2 of their Album Launch Tour further solidifies the band as one Australia’s top extreme music exports, so be sure to get along and witness the ferociously unhinged live spectacle of King Parrot!
Regarding these new dates, the band comment; “We’re beyond excited to get back out to the homeland and play all the spots we missed on the first leg, so Queensland, WA and SA (And Ballarat and Albury ;)), brace yourselves as we prepare to bring the KP grind carnage your way. New songs, new drummer, and renewed energy and intensity off the back of a 45 show North American tour!
The reception we’ve had in the US and Canada from the new record has been beyond our expectations and to have the opportunity to tour alongside metal giants this year has been incredible. We’re comin’ for ya Australia… so get your tickets and get on board!”
