Ear Candy In The City: Garçon Garçon

Today my attention goes to the Land Down Under. No it’s not about the Australia Open that was last week. I’m tracking the chatter of music news Australia is causing in the blogesphere and it’s not being produced by Kylie Minogue. 

Garçon Garçon is a pair of Hot Bears hailing from The Red Light Capital of Australia –Sydney's Kings Cross. This unsigned blog-sensation is composed of Nathan Mahon (vocals/guitar) and Nick Tsirimokos (synth/programming). The Beary Hot Aussie duo has definitely earned the coverage they have been receiving from sources like DNA Magazine but there is still not much information out on them. Their Facebook Biography states: 
Combining new wave synths with a unique '80s feel and a dash of blatant pop, Garçon Garçon write intelligent songs with catchy hooks. Coming from different musical worlds of classical and punk rock, the duo conjure a sound as complex as it is podium busting.

The pair recently made a splash in the fashion industry, with Australian icon Peter Morrissey using GG's unreleased track, 'Do it right', to launch his acclaimed new collection during Sydney Fashion Week, gaining them international coverage.

Garçon Garçon are currently at Studio 301 recording their debut EP, due out 2011. They say it will "showcase both sweaty club anthems and sleazy electro pop treats - LA, Hollywood, hot summer nights, convertibles, the sunset strip".

To support this release, the boys have scheduled their first overseas dates for early 2011 across North American and Europe. Catch them before the world does.

Here is a taste from the official online premiere of Garçon Garçon's debut single "Stay In Touch"
