Ke$ha Crashes Gay Paris Gig, Eats Beard

The people you meet in Newtown...

More Gay Paris Gay Paris Profile

Pop star Ke$ha rocked up to swaggering Sydney blues-rock band Gay Paris' single launch at the Sandringham last week, and made off with one of their Hawaiian shirts.

The band were launching the track The Demarcation Of Joseph Hollybone when the serial Sydney party-crasher rocked up. Following the show they took her to see the lights of Newtown – that is, the Townie – and she ate a band member's beard and took a liking to his Hawaiian shirt, which he ended up giving to her.

All of this is covered in the band's somewhat rambling tour diary, which they're keeping for theMusic.com.au right here.
