Tour Guide: Gay Paris, N’fa Jones, Prepared Like A Bride, Young Franco

It’s a matter of taking your pick with this eclectic and appealing slew of freshly announced tours from diesel-fuelled rockers Gay Paris, the ever karmically aligned N’fa Jones, Christian metalcore brutalisers Prepared Like a Bride, and quickly rising electronic prodigy Young Franco.

It’ll be your last chance to check out Gay Paris before they retreat for album number three, Young Franco before he gets Flume-big, your opportunity to catch N’fa onstage with Triple J Unearthed winner Remi, and your first shot at hearing Prepared Like A Bride play out their new album.

Gay Paris The After Party Tour 2014

Gay-Paris-live-Brisbane-2013-846x564-Charlyn-Cameron

Gay Paris, the only band deemed fit to acclimate crowds to the oncoming haze of desert rock legends Vista Chino, have announced they will be doing what they do best and following-up a 2013 spent getting to know Australia’s highways by bonding even further, with their After Party Tour.

This tour, which kicks off Thursday, 27th February with a free gig at the Prince of Wales in Bunbury, WA, will be the boys’ last before they hole themselves up in a studio to start work on album number three. Once they’re finished, the United States and Panda Studios with producer Sam Pura awaits.

Prepared Like A Bride Overcomer Tour Dates

Prepared Like a Bride have been steadily generating a loyal fan base in the Australian progressive metalcore scene with their marriage of melodic guitars, epic soundscapes, and brutal vocals, and will now be kicking off their Overcomer tour this March at Next, in Melbourne.

Hailed as a band to watch in 2014, this Queensland outfit have earned their chops playing support slots for acts such as Your Demise and Impending Doom, as well as a recent and well-received stint playing the Coffs Harbour leg of the returning Vans Warped Tour Australia, last year.

19-year-old producer Young Franco is the latest artist to be spat out by Australia’s seemingly endless well of prodigious young EDM talent. The Brisbane-based artist is not only graciously offering his new Futurefunk EP to fans for free, but he’s just announced an upcoming tour.

Readers can check out the Futurefunk EP over at Young Franco’s official Facebook page. This funky young gun has already earned nods of approval from Alison Wonderland, Peking Duk, and Allday, with his combination of funk, disco beats, 90s hip-hop, and chiptune electronics.
