Gay Paris are a dirty fucking rock band from Sydney. They play music that grabs you by the chest, hands you a whiskey and makes you dance well past your bedtime, every time. Gay Paris are known for having one of the best live shows in Australia, hands down. Super sharp, astoundingly inventive and often naked, they don’t just play a set, they entertain the shit out of their audience.

While the band are at home in the Blues/Swamp/Rock genres, they are also completely compatible with pop, metal and even folk bills, sharing stages with likes of Karnivool, The Beards and The Snowdroppers. By focusing on creating great hooks and delivering an unstoppably energetic live show, the band is accessible to anyone looking for a good time, becoming a major drawcard for festivals and events.

Don’t believe the band – here are the media quotes:

“Matching an undeniable stage presence with their wild-eyed, swampy style of rock, it didn’t take too long at all for the audience to lose their collective shit.”

“It’s about time Australia experienced a hard rock resurgence and Gay Paris could easily lead that revolution,”
Liveguide.com.au

“THAT voice. Gay Paris continue to cream this thing called rock and roll.”
Dave Ruby Howe, triple j

“Imagine Captain Beefheart screaming obtuse horror stories over a band that references everything from Aerosmith to Refused, all delivered with some slightly tipsy theatrics and a lot tongue in cheek.”
Dan Lander, Rolling Stone

Gay Paris released their first single ‘The Demarcation of Joseph Hollybone’ and toured nationally with sold out shows late 2012.

Their new album ‘The Last Good Party’ was recorded with the help of one of the most creative and entertaining Pozible campaigns in crowd funding history. Produced and recorded in Australia with acclaimed Californian Producer Sam Pura (The Story So Far, Basement) the album is an invite to rock n roll excess for rock fans everywhere. Unapologetically dirty, crammed with catchy riffs and swampy hooks, The Last Good Party is aptly titled.

The Last Good Party will be released through all good record stores 19th April 2013 and the band will undertake a national tour to support the release, and you can see them almost everywhere.

Jason Leigh (bass) and Adam Stagg (drums) have developed a cult online following due to their positive social messages and instructional videos, as well as their hard partying lifestyle. Their videos cover educational topics from “How to be Cool Guys” to “Kickflips’ and “Talking to Girls”. 

The Stiffys have been described as ‘like Death From Above 1979 on the beach’ and a ‘must see live act’. 

“The Stiffys might be the most important band to come out of Melbourne in the last five years…  I’ve met a lot of great, smart musicians, and Jason and Adam really fall into that genius category where you’re not sure if they’re on the autistism spectrum or just hyper intelligent.”
