The Golden Gaytimes

The Golden Gaytimes (featuring members of Muzzy Pep, The Sleepy Jackson, Forever Since Breakfast and The Great Dividing Range), with the one and only Jane ‘Jane-O’ Harvey up front, have rapidly made a name for themselves since the release of their 2024 debut album Hot As Buggery.

From Maitland NSW , the band are driven by the understanding that great music is made with liberal measures of both spook and wonk, and their debut album has inspired a run of madcap, psychedelic and party atmosphere gigs, guaranteed to have punters heading for the dance floor.

Their debut has been carefully crafted to highlight a variety of characteristics that suggest the exotic sonics of:

Nico singing in The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Mentals and Skyhooks go camping with The B-52s
The Aussie Grey Wave New Wave of The Fauves nightclubbing with Wet Leg and Blondie

As their first single 'I'm Tempted' (400k+ views on YouTube!) establishes, this is a band that thrives on great riffs, heady grooves and a strong sense of fun and irreverence.

It’s a psychedelic suburban Australian experience, that also draws on elements of post-punk, and jangly alternative guitar pop. They delve into such matters as online dating ('Swipe Right Swipe Left'), hot, hot days (Hot As Buggery), hilarious false rumours ('Bindi Eyes'), a love story with a knife-edge ending ('Running Away'), and in ('Hard/Easy') – a feminist anthem. 

Enjoy the fun that is The Golden Gaytimes. Blistering guitars, fabulously corny and observational lyrics and packed with high-energy vibes.

 If you love the B52’s, you will go nuts over The Golden Gaytimes!
