Velociraptor

The wild garage rock beast is far from extinct.

Overview

Australia's favourite 12-piece have been silent for a number of years now, but the wild garage rock beast has not died out. To prove they're still very much alive and kicking Velociraptor are taking their shiny new special edition vinyl and its digital counterpart and setting off on their own version of a world tour, which for these unpretentious Brisbanites means hitting a whole seven cities on the eastern seaboard of their home country.

Along with a reduction in the average number of world tour stop offs is a decrease in the usual number of band members, with prior commitments of Velociraptor's shared DZ Deathrays members putting the number of guitarists on The World Warriors tour at a (by comparison) minimal five. Not diminished in the slightest, however, will be the riotous sound that made them world famous in Australia in the first place. For proof click over to the video tab to hear The World Warriors' frenetic first single "Riot" and be happy that Velociraptor are back making music.
