Back with Two Beasts is the nineteenth album (and fourth collection of outtakes) by the Australian psychedelic rock band the Church, released in November 2005.{{cite web|url=http://www.shadowcabinet.net/454/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=411&Itemid=26 |title=Back with Two Beasts |last=Pat |publisher=Shadow Cabinet (Brian Smith) |date=13 November 2005 |accessdate=17 July 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140727085846/http://www.shadowcabinet.net/454/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=411&Itemid=26 |archivedate=27 July 2014 }} The material was recorded during the Uninvited, Like the Clouds sessions but released first, as a teaser for that album, and was originally only available from the band's website or at their gigs. It was re-released by Unorthodox Records in 2009.{{Citation | author1= The Church | title = Back with Two Beasts | publication-date=2009 | publisher=Unorthodox.
