What?
GAYC/DC (USA) - The World's Only Gay AC/DC Tribute Show
"GayC/DC have taken the songs of perhaps the globe’s most heterosexual band and turned them into something altogether more fabulous.” Classic Rock Magazine
There are tribute bands and then there are ideas so strong they reframe the music they’re built on. GAYC/DC fall squarely into the latter.Taking the catalogue of AC/DC, arguably rock’s most overtly masculine institution and filtering it through unapologetic queer celebration sounds, on paper, like something that shouldn’t work. Then you hear it, you see it, and it becomes immediately obvious that this is exactly what rock and roll needs right now.Founded by Christopher Freeman (bassist for queercore pioneers Pansy Division) alongside drummer Brian Welch, GAYC/DC have earned something rare in tribute-band territory: genuine respect from the wider rock community, including the artists whose songs they reinterpret.Kerrang! describe the band succinctly as “Glam/Sassy/Porn/Punk/Metal/Dirty Rock ’n’ Roll… with class,” while Louder call their live show “spot on with the music, unforgettable in every way.” Beneath the glitter, boas and knowing wink is a band that takes the songs seriously, because the songs deserve it.
