On May 9th 2011, from a practice room in the depths of the Security Intelligent Service's former vault, Wellington's best kept secret was disclosed. Beastwars arrived fully formed and delivered an album of equal parts heaviness and heart. There was plenty of online hype and 5 star reviews which led to the public embracing of the album and landing it at #15 in the top 40 charts - pretty good for a band that had to be seriously persuaded to even release on a format other than their preferred gatefold vinyl.

Beastwars will be hitting the road again for 5 dates, with shows booked in Wellington, Whangarei, Dunedin and Christchurch and appearing as part of bFM's bstreet festival in Auckland; headlining the Galatos stage. The band's last New Zealand national jaunt saw every venue packed to capacity and hordes of tardy, disappointed and freezing fans had to settle for sneaking glimpses through bar window cracks.  Don't be one of these cold, miserable types. Head to www.undertheradar.co.nz and secure your entry to these momentous events now.
