ABOUT THE BAND:
Beerzone
formed in 1997 by former Intensive
Care vocalist Iain Kilgallon. The band play catchy sing-along
street punk and have been described as a nice mix of Peter and the

length studio recordings ( on Beer City, TKO & Cyclone ), 2 Live
records ( Captain Oi! & 77 rpm ), several 7" singles, and a
recent appearance on "Addicted To Oi!", another fine
release from the lads at Captain Oi! The band have played all over
Europe, as well as touring the states 10 times in the past 8 years,
including a 5 week tour alongside the Dropkick Murphy's. Other
notable, if not infamous supporting tours include those with The
Business, Fear, and UK Subs. The band have also performed at damn
near every Holidays in The Sun Festival that has ever been put on in
both England, and those in the states. Other bands that Beerzone have
played shows with include Stiff Little Fingers, The Damned, Bad
Manners, Cock Sparrer, Cockney Rejects, Suicidal Tendencies, The
Exploited, Suicidal Tendencies, Anti Flag, The Misfits and Agnostic
Front.
Most
recently in September 2006 they played the 'Wasted Festival' at the
Esplanade Hotel in St Kilda, Melbourne. Where hundreds of people
turned out to see them play alongside Peter and the Test Tube Babies
as well as an impressive line-up of local Australian bands.
They
are now returning between November 15th and 24th
