The name suggests that GINGERFEST is a day full of Fanta, carrots and sunscreen-dipped freckly youngsters going by nicknames like ‘Bluey’. But no, its not about congregating to celebrate the rare yet beautiful MCR1 Gene. Instead, Gingerfest is a straight up, balls out, no reservations, all inclusive punk rock festival held to honour the memory of one of Australia’s most dedicated punk […]

Spring whispers in her cave, licking the frost from her child (and what an awful and squalling beast this child is). With said neonate firmly swaddled in sackcloth and ashes, Gay Paris are hitting the road, September through December, bringing the love that is Satan and a celebration of free will to Australia in the most rambunctious way imaginable. You […]

Gay Paris is a primitive beast, sleeping in a cave, chewing bones and growling out its dreams. Soon, it will sleep no more, called by the sound of Ember Season and the sound of Saints dancing in cornfields. One must admit – Gay Paris earned its rest the hard way. Birthed in 2009 from the corpse of something that kicked and screamed until […]

Summer waxes and the people lament – where are they? Where is Satan’s favourite party band? Do not ask where they have been, just know that they have returned, souls tanned by hellfire. And they need you to rock a bikini. That’s right, y’all – it’s going to be a Dark Arts Summer as Gay Paris hit select locations to handout a cocktail […]

Renowned for their aggressive, no-holds-barred, and always confronting live show,  […]

Gritty, rockin’, dirty, bluesy, sweaty, loud and louder. That was my instant reaction to when I put this album on, and that’s a good thing. From straight out of the gates it was on, and if you didn’t tell me this was an Australian band, I never would’ve guessed, as this sounds like it’s straight out of the Southern swamps […]

GAY PARIS KILL SPRING ON TOUR, RELEASE BOXING COCK VIDEO, GET LOW WITH KE$HA Sydney’s salacious, stupidly hard rockin’ dudes Gay Paris have been smashin’ eardrums and upturned faces with steady riffin’ and cheeky banter on their ‘Death to Spring’ tour recently. They’ve killed Spring in NSW, WA and QLD so far, and have their sights firmly set on Tassie and SA. The southern states best […]

If there’s one thing you can expect from Gay Paris – the “dirty f*cking rock band from Sydney – it’s expect the unexpected.  So it came as no real surprise when front man WH aka Wailin’ H Monks called in whilst sitting in a park, bathed in sunshine, covered in ants…  The reason for the call, well there’s lots happening […]

Gay Paris are a dirty f*cking rock band from Sydney, and come November they’ll be doing dirty f*cking rock band things all over the country to promote the first single ‘The Demarcation Of Joseph Hollybone’ from their forthcoming sophomore album. Six Guns, Ol’ Black Tooth, Slim Pickins’ and Wailin’ H Monks are packin’ the wagon and taking their genre-bending blend of […]
