Dense, crunching, mesmerising; meet Party Dozen - a duo from Sydney. Since forming in 2017, Kirsty Tickle (saxophone) and Jonathan Boulet (percussion and sampler) have become renowned in Australia for their
incendiary live shows, touring and playing with acts such as LIARS, Tropical Fuck Storm 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 write, perform and record
everything themselves.
