Gang of Youths

Big, guitar-heavy, cathartic rock from Sydney’s next big things.

Overview

After years of gigging and tireless campaigning from the likes of FBi Radio, Sydney-based foursome Gang of Youths are nationally-appreciated hot stuff right now. They’ve played sold-out shows alongside Vampire Weekend, Frightened Rabbit and Foster the People, done the Aussie festival circuit, toured the States, and been compared to Arcade Fire and Bruce Springsteen — and that was all before their debut album The Position was released.

After they sold-out multiple venues just a few months ago, they’re setting off on another national tour, and the GOY-hungry public can’t seem to get enough of them; lapping up tickets faster than the band can announce new shows.

GOY play rock that’s big on catharsis. Frontman David Leaupepe’s inspiration for the band’s raw, guitar-heavy debut was the emotional rollercoaster of his four-year long-distance relationship with a girl who had been diagnosed with stage four cancer. It makes for a sound that seems bound to fill stadiums one day — so consider yourself lucky if you manage to bag a ticket to one of these more intimate gigs.

Gang of Youths will play Richmond's Corner Hotel on August 26 and Geelong Workers Club on August 29.
