Velociraptor

Overview

A velociraptor may be a genus of deomaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that existed 75 to 71 million years ago during the later part of the Cretaceous Period (once again, thank you Wikipedia), but it’s also the 12-piece garage pop explosion that exists right now, here in modern Brisburnia.

The finely dressed lads and lady have shimmied and shaken up Australia since forming at the end of 2008, having played alongside names such as Regurgitator, Neon Indian and Die! Die! Die! amongst others. Most recently they played main support for Ghostwood during the Queensland leg of their national tour. Now, Velociraptor takes the main stage, embarking on their Drunken Knife Fights Ensue East Coast tour. It’s their one and only tour for the year before they start working on a new EP.

Get out of your Wiki spiral (we’ve all been there, and it’s hard to escape) and catch the Raptors in action at Woodland this Saturday for the gig that kickstarts their tour. They’ll be joined by all-girl wonderband The Madisons and Dolphins, straight outta the Gold Coast.
