Caninus.
Caninus was a deathgrind band formed as a side project by Most Precious Blood guitarist Justin Brannan, Rachel Rosen, drummer Colin Thundercurry and two female pitbull terriers, Budgie and Basil.[1] They are currently signed to War Torn Records and have three releases, including a split with Hatebeak and a 7" split with death metal band Cattle Decapitation. In 2008 Richard Christy played the drums on an unknown number of songs for Caninus.[2]
On January 5, 2011, Basil, one of Caninus's pit-bulls, died. Basil had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and was euthanized.[3] The band has ended because of the dog's death.

Hatebeak.
Hatebeak is a death metal band, formed by Blake Harrison, Mark Sloan, and Waldo, a 21-year-old Congo African Grey Parrot. Hatebeak is the only band to have an "avian" vocalist.[1]
The band members do not use their last names on their releases "for the mystery".[citation needed] Hatebeak also does not tour so as to not torture the bird.[citation needed] Hatebeak is strictly a studio project with unintelligible lyrics and no melody.[2] They are currently signed to Reptilian Records.
Their sound has been described as "a jackhammer being ground in a compactor."[3] Aquarius Records magazine called Hatebeak "furious and blasting death metal".[2] Hatebeak made their second record with Caninus, a band whose lead singer is two dogs.[2] Hatebeak's goal is to "raise the bar for extreme music".[2]

European Hangover Tour 2013: Part 4.
The ride from Copenhagen to the Castle Run in Denmark was fantastic! Of course we managed to lose Jimmy Monk on his Panhead and my dad in the Econoline! At least me and Dan got some sweet road bro time. Again...not many photos from the actual show itself...but I do have hazy memories of getting on stage and kicking amplifiers over, DJing by playing Tornado by The Jiants 13 times with my iPhone and Dan Collins doing a bare chested macho burnout at 3am.
Good times indeed.
European Hangover Tour 2013: Part 3.
We had a blinding couple of days in Copenhagen at Killer Bobbers and Motorious for a wonderful DicE magazine release party!
Um...I'm not sure why I only took 2 photos at the party...I blame Jimmy Monk!
Cheers!

If you find yourself at any of these shows, go and see the boys from Eat Dust and listen to them speak English...they have the cutest accents!
