Written and recorded over a period of 13 months, and set for release a little later in the month, Ladies and Gentlemen, May We Present to You: The Dark Arts is album number three from the Gay Paris clan. And this is just the kind of news that calls for a tour. From the band: “Spring whispers in her cave, licking the frost from her child (and what an awful and squalling beast this child is). With said neonate firmly swaddled in sackcloth and ashes, Gay Paris are hitting the road, September through December, bringing the love that is Satan and a celebration of free will to Australia in the most rambunctious way imaginable.” The Workers Club, Geelong – October 8 & The Eastern, Ballarat – October 9.
