GayC/DC the hilarious and brilliant gay AC/DC tribute band will start their run of west coast dates tonight! Taking music and lyrics of “the worlds’ most heterosexual band” and flipping it on its ear, bathing it in a glimmering pink light and disco ball, and putting their own LGBTQ spin on the iconic band. The band kicks tour dates through the spring on March 12th at Maui Sugar Mill (Tarzana, CA). They are promising new music soon! For a sample of what the band does best check out this cover of “It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll),” a collaboration with LA-based band Well Hung Heart!

 

The band commented: “When we put this band together, we envisioned playing a few shows for our friends here and there, maybe at [gay club] The Eagle LA or someone’s house. Maybe even a San Francisco show.” “But then we were blown away by the reception we got at our first show. And that’s when we really started to see the potential reach of this band. We knew we could make a splash, and maybe some young LGBTQ kid would see us and be inspired to strike out on their own and start their own queer band too. The more, the merrier, right?”

“We don’t look like them… we never wanted to. We don’t want to be like all the others. We wanted to be the band in an alternate LGBTQ universe.”

“We aim to give the audience the very best stage show we can deliver, so you can bet the music is going to be spot on and razor-sharp, and the props and costume changes will keep you in stitches,” promises lead vocalist Chris Freeman (also bassist for punk legends Pansy Division). “While we are dead serious about getting the music right, we bring humor to the rest of the show, and we hope to leave you laughing and smiling.”
