Band Profile

Government Pest, Heavy Grooves from the swamps of Palmerston North since 2014. We made our self-titled first release in 2016 and our follow up "Disengage" in 2019.

We're currently working on our third album of swamp grooves.

The band members have played together in other bands for around 20 years and Government Pest features Kristov Raven on Vocals/Guitar, Murray Shaw on Bass/Vocals, and Max Guy on Drums.

Looking forward to playing our first show at Lovelands!
