Description:
* Animal Kingdom is the long awaited debut album by Melbourne band Baseball. The album was recorded on 2 inch tape at Head Gap Studios (My Disco, Magic Dirt, The Slits, etc) in Melbourne, and has been mastered by John Golden (Sonic Youth, Chris Isaak, etc) in California.
* Formed in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2002 - Baseball is the project of Thick Passage (Ninetynine, ex-Sandro) who fronts the band on vocals and rhythm violin, joined by Monika Fikerle (Love of Diagrams) on bass. The duo then acquired the services of Evelyn Morris (Pikelet) on drums and vocals, and Ben Butcher (The Assassination Collective) to play guitar.
* Baseball have toured 18 countries in the last 2 years, which has seen them share the stage with the likes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (US), Vincent Gallo (US), Auf Der Maur (Canada) and Boom Boom Satellites (Japan) at the Hohaiyan Rock Festival in Taipei. They've also played along side No Means No in the Czech Republic.
* In Australia the band has played shows with Saul Williams (USA), Sleater Kinney (USA), Les Savy Fav (USA) Ni Hao (Japan), Ryokuchi (Jap), Birushanah (Jap), Sabot (Czech Rep) and The Hold Steady (USA).

"easily my new favoritest band" - Jon Chapple, Mclusky, Shooting At Unarmed Men.

''Baseball are the quintessential Melbourne band circa 2007, fusing urgent punk with hypnotic Eastern European violins into a unique sound. Like the Cramps being shoved in a blender with the Dirty Three, their shows are manic and messy but not to be missed!” - Patrick Donovan, The Age Music Writer
