Party Dozen are a 2-piece noise band from Sydney made up of Kirsty Tickle (saxophone) and Jonathan Boulet  (percussion and sampler). Since forming in 2017, they have become renowned in Australia for their incendiary  live shows, touring and playing with acts such as LIARS, Spiritualized and Viagra Boys. Exactly what Party  Dozen are is completely up to the listener. Doom. Jazz. Hardcore. Psychedelic. No-wave. Industrial. Although  largely instrumental, their sets are punctuated by Kirsty’s unique “singing” style, screaming into the bell of her  saxophone which itself goes through a bevy of effects pedals. Intensely independent in everything they do, the  duo have released three acclaimed albums on their own label, GRUPO: The Living Man (2017), Pray For Party  Dozen (2020) and 2022’s The Real Work (Stereogum Album of the Week, Bandcamp Album of the Day)  

Great Southern Nights 2024 will take place from 8-24 March 2024 featuring more than 300 gigs across 17 nights throughout Sydney’s inner city and Western Sydney, as well as shows in seven key music communities across NSW, including Tamworth, Wagga, Newcastle, Wollongong and the Northern Rivers.
