GAYC/DC, yeah, the band name says it all. As a collaborative band of a bunch of friends who are gay musicians that LOVE heavy metal doing AC/DC covers, somehow this had to happen. If only for the fact that the LGBTQ community needs more Punk and Metal in their diet. GayC/DC are exactly that. As the drummer Brian Welch explained it "We wanted to take the most "hetero-normal " band and turn it on it's head".  It wasn't really that difficult honestly, for some songs they would just change a single letter from "R" to "C" in "Let there be ROCK".  You can see where this is going. 

I have interviewed 3 of them in other bands over the years, and it is always great to talk to them, not just for the jokes, but for their history in music, these guys are pros and have the stories to back it up. This is a labor of tasteless rude and offensive love (and lust I suppose). They will have you laughing, and then tell you something thoughtful in the same moment. 

They just collaborated with music production Tim Eaton ( En Vogue. Allman Brothers) to do a cover of Argent's song "Hold Your Head Up" a queer rallying anthem against bullying. The video tells the story, and these guys just happened to be the voice for it. (link below). 

If you want loud, rocking, tasteless, rude and offensive, look no further than GayC/DC, these guys deliver in ways that hair metal bands can't even imagine.  They actually started a cult following by attending an AC/DC concert wearing their own band T-shirts. I wore their T-shirt to UTAH PRIDE, and consider it an honor to know these guys.
