Australian thrash/grind/hardcore punk group King Parrot released their new album ‘Dead Set’ via Housecore Records earlier this year, and are descending upon California for three album release shows later this month. This run includes a King Parrot headline show at Brick By Brick in San Diego on Sunday September 13th, with local support acts Nukem and Xantam and Thanatology from Mexico.
