GAYC/DC is a Los Angeles‑based rock tribute band known as the world’s first all‑gay tribute to the music of AC/DC, blending classic hard rock with a bold queer twist. The group was founded in 2013 by bassist/vocalist Chris Freeman — also known for his work with queer punk pioneers Pansy Division — alongside drummer Brian Welch and other members who aim to faithfully replicate the sound of AC/DC while playfully reimagining iconic songs with updated lyrics and pronouns. Their live shows are high‑energy rock performances that respect the original AC/DC compositions but infuse them with flamboyant stage presence, costume changes, and queer cultural flair that has earned attention from rock media and fans alike. Tracks like “Gay Boy Boogie” (a rework of AC/DC’s “Bad Boy Boogie”) and renamed classics such as “Dirty Dudes (Done Dirt Cheap)” showcase the band’s blend of musicianship, camp, and celebration of LGBTQ+ identity. GAYC/DC’s performances and tours — including their 2026 Australian run — offer both rock authenticity and an inclusive party atmosphere, appealing to fans of hard rock and queer culture alike.
