GayC/DC takes the iconic, high-voltage sound of AC/DC and infuses it with a unique twist: unapologetic LGBTQ+ pride. With a setlist full of AC/DC’s greatest hits—“Highway to Hell,” “Back in Black,” “You Shook Me All Night Long”—GayC/DC delivers the same electrifying performances as the original band, but with an added layer of humor, theatricality, and glittering costumes that reflect the band’s joyful and inclusive message. Known for their energetic live shows, GayC/DC’s approach challenges traditional rock stereotypes, proving that the genre is for everyone, regardless of background or identity.

By mixing the rebellious attitude of rock with a message of love and inclusivity, GayC/DC has carved a niche for themselves as not just a tribute band, but as a band that celebrates individuality, diversity, and the unifying power of music. Whether you’re a die-hard AC/DC fan or just looking for a fun night out, GayC/DC delivers an unforgettable experience that rocks hard and embraces everyone with open arms.

“I am Patrick Goodwin and I play guitar in GayC/DC.

This is my tuxedo cat and her name is Little Hooker. She adopted my husband and I about 2 years ago. I live in Denver and during a December snowstorm we noticed a small tuxedo cat hanging out and eating some food we left out on the porch for another stray cat we took care of. Over a few weeks we kept seeing her. One day she camped out on the porch for hours until I walked out and said to her “would you like to come in?” and she did. We posted to see if anyone was missing her and then took her to the vet to see if she was chipped, and nope, she was ours. We also have a black cat named Midna but my husband says that Little Hooker is very much my cat and I love her.

We named her Little Hooker because of the hook marking on her nose but over time she has earned that name by being the biggest flirt and sleeping with all of our guests.”
