Update 1 - GAY PARIS: THE LAST GOOD PARTY UPDATE: THE FIRST TASTE AND THE RACE TO VINYL CITYposted 09 Oct 2012

After some dizzying highs and lows over the past few months, Gay Paris are making a dash to see if they can raise enough money to finish their album and potentially have it printed on vinyl with five days left in their Pozible campaign. If they can raise $9000 by Oct 15, all their (and your) dreams could be a reality. Stunning artwork by Steve Nuttall and impeccable production from Sam Pura could make it to wax.

So the first single from the album is available here (http://soundcloud.com/gayparis/gay-paris-the-demarcation-of )but there’s still have work to do and need your help. Resident mouthpiece for the four-piece W.H Monks explains.

“Hey y'all – it may have come to your attention that Gay Paris is back in action, out of the studio and ready to do the things that you so dearly crave. Those of you who are really with it may have even checked out our first single, The Demarcation Of Joseph Hollybone at Soundcloud. Well done. We're about to hit the road for our Death To Spring tour, but we're not quite done in making The Last Good Party a reality. We've got the ass-shakin' tunes. We've got the mind stroking artwork. We've got the tour booked. But there is something missing.”

“I should stop here and give massive love to everyone who has contributed to our Pozible campaign – you guys have given us the opportunity to make each and everyone of you very happy, whether it's because you love our music or just want to see us humiliated and debased as we undertake the tasks that we have promised. I guess this is somewhat like the Erotic Adventures of Heracles. Epic, filthy and thoroughly disregarding the laws of gods and men.”

“It feels good to be back, but as I mentioned above we're not quite done. We've hit a bump on this dirty road – yours truly blew his voice during the recording sessions (I blame God and biology) and we've still got another eight tracks to finish up. By the time you read this, the first single should be on its way to you, borne on the back of our good pal, Big Joe Hollybone, but as we need a bit more studio time, we're going to need more money. If you'd like to help us out, our Pozible campaign is in operation until October 15 and there are still some wondrous rewards up for auction; and don't forget that contributing to the recording is easily the most ridiculous fashion that you can pre-order the album! We probably need a couple of grand to get where we need to be, but as we know that the average Gay Paris fan loves excess, we've also decided that if we hit $9000, we're going to do this motherfucker on vinyl. Image that. Imagine the sound quality. Image the artwork. Image the scene points you'll get with your underground 'man, I love vinyl, fuck mp3s' buddies! We're just trying to do it to you and appreciate anything that you can spare.”
