Following in a tradition of bands and beer that has existed throughout the ages, T54 thought it was time they got their own brew too.

So the Christchurch band wrote a song, the Dux brewed a beer, found some old bottles and now they are one.

T54 and the Dux are proud to introduce: Kill Red Lager: A Beersingle.

Kill Red is the latest single from the southern trio, recorded by Tom Bell at Dunedin's Sammys and brewed by the award winning Dux Brewing Co. The beer, a golden lager, is limited to six dozen with each bottle featuring a free download of the track and artwork designed by Oscar 'Evil Genius' Guerrero.

Plus over the next month the band are taking it on a taste tour around the country at the following shows:

July 27 - Christchurch - Galaxy Records Instore - 7:30pm
July 28 - Lyttelton - The Roastery w/ The Golden Awesome
August 4 – Wellington -San Fran Bathhouse w/ The Blue Onesies
August 24 - Christchurch - Dux Live w/ Golden Orange
August 31st - Hamilton - Static w/ Rackets, Bombstrappers, Drop Dead Redhead
September 1st - Auckland - Whammy w/ Tono and the Finance Co. and more

Here's some thoughts on the T54 Experience:

"You guys were probably my favourite band of the night" - James Milne.
"I heard your song on the radio the other day. It sounded suitably brutal" - James Milne.
"It's easy to see why everyone that bought 'Drone Attacks' went out and bought guitars - pure heroic bliss, a bona fide part of a rich New Zealand heritage" - JS.
