Beasts Of Bourbon
- Little
Animals The Beasts unleash
their ferocity with the release of Little Animals - April 21. Some records should not be taken lightly. This one is the real deal, an unexpected gift from the gods. The brand new Beasts of Bourbon album is one of those classic albums, recorded and mixed in three days. It's their first album of new songs in nine years and it will kick your arse.
LITTLE ANIMALS, the long awaited album from Australian rock music legends Beasts of Bourbon arrives against considerable odds. Last time Tex Perkins, Spencer Jones, Charlie Owen, Brian Hooper and Tony Pola made a record, its title turned out to be succinctly prophetic. At the end of '97, GONE saw them off on the longest hiatus of the Beasts' 23-year tenure, for reasons best unasked or forgotten.
Over six albums of excoriating, low life rock 'n' roll, the Beasts of Bourbon had carved their name large and indelibly in Australian rock lore. In (evil) spirit they're kin to AC/DC, the Stones and the Birthday Party; in real life their lineage encompasses the Johnnys, the Surrealists, the Cruel Sea, the New Christs, Tex, Don and Charlie and too many crash and burn blues / punk rock outfits that fell foul of the old death or glory equation some time over the last quarter-century.
Their first single, I Don’t Care About Nothing Anymore, demonstrates the vigorously unpredictable and explosive atmosphere that we have all been missing. And there are nine other tracks that give us all every good reason to get excited about the new edition to their sentient repertoire.
And as for Tex’s famous disclaimer about the Beasts' ongoing volatility: “It's a fairly destructive entity and I would think very carefully about unleashing it on the world again…”
"F---k the world," he says. "It's us I'm worried about."
The Beasts of Bourbon
will be touring in June with tour dates to be announced soon.
