Check out my YouTube Channel for more bad noodling and my band "Japam" for some kick ass original music!

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.”
Fasterlouder.com

“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.

VOROS are a South Australian tech/death/thrash band that will appeal to listeners of REVOCATION, DEATH, MASTODON and MESHUGGAH.
 
To coincide with the bands live debut Voros released the first of a trilogy of EP's titled 'Sky Burial' in 2013.

With a strong local and growing national profile, Voros now aim to take their music to an international audience with the release of the bands debut album 'Diseased Deity'.
 
Since the release of the bands debut EP's Voros have consolidated with a line up change and the introduction of three new guitarists, Matt Disisto on rhythm, Jack Bolingbroke on lead and James Read on bass joining original members vocalist Ty Braithwaite and drummer Liam Weedall. Raising the bar on what the band has to offer, the new line up recorded the bands debut album 'Diseased Deity' with Andy Kite at Against The Grain studio in South Australia and mastered the album with renowned heavy music engineer Chris 'ZEUSS' Harris (SUFFOCATION, REVOCATION, HATEBREED)
 
Following the recording of 'Diseased Deity' Voros signed a management and licensing deal with Truth Inc Records, Management and Touring (Mors Principium Est, Truth Corroded, Kyzer Soze) With a stronger new line up Voros now aim to build on its national audience and open the way to gaining international exposure with the release of its debut album and touring across Australia and Asia in 2016
