Sydney blues-rockers Gay Paris are back and leading the merry making charge with their first single – ‘Ash Wednesday Boudoir Party’ from the forthcoming album The Last Good Party, due for release this April.
In hope that they’ll receive great support form fellow merry-makers, we have some words from the band themselves: “We are aware, fellow merry-makers, that they eyes of all have been cast in the shade of restraint and shame, the ears have gone stale as the fallow fields of musical industry have been left idle by bands great and small. Know that we are familiar with this danger and with the danger of allowing this folly to continue. We have practiced sin. We have practiced until we knew how to save you. Now, we simply ask that you commission us in our righteous crusade – The Last Good Party. We bring new life to what is old, we make golden promises and will even kiss you in the morning. For those who have pretended to know the life of a party goer, we call upon you to switch masks and gaze upon our glorious countenance as we usher in an age of unprecedented festivity.”
“We are aware, fellow merry-makers, that most bands do not appear as candidates for the solemn position of revelry inciters and then conduct themselves in a manner meeting the expectations that must be exacted upon them. For all of their poise, these bands are but industrious, humble, and ostensibly honest in their modesty. It is well that they remain modest in their composure and not attempt to entertain you. What you need? You know we got it. Gay Paris – a life of self aggrandising arrogance, excess and tight trousers.”
Gay Paris’s new track Ash Wednesday Boudoir Party, has hit the online airwaves and will be hitting a town near you in the live sense very soon, as the merry-makers take off on the open roads of Australia on a 3-month long mammoth national tour, beginning April 18.
