About Me

Note: PLEASE DON"T MESSAGE US HERE WITH REQUESTS FOR SHOWS (sorry, but show requests will probably be removed from this page) - instead visit the website at www.thegildedpalaceofsin.com and contact us through there.

Forthcoming shows: see our Top Friends for the artists who will be visiting The Gilded Palace of Sin in the coming months.
The Gilded Palace of Sin posse has been bringing the best in Americana and alt.country to the South Coast town of Brighton for the past six years. Along the way they have built a loyal, hardcore following: thanks to some of those people, this MySpace page was created. Drop us a line if you're into the same thing, if you've been to a show or have something to share with us. We'd love to hear from you.
Catch the Gilded Palace Radio Show on Totally Radio every week, if you want to hear more of these kind of sounds. The most recent show features (what I believe are) the fifteen finest GPOS-friendly albums of 2007. Have a listen; disagree with me...

Advance tickets (for all TGPoS shows) are always available from:

ROUNDER RECORDS, 19, BRIGHTON SQUARE, BRIGHTON, (01273) 325440 RESIDENT RECORDS in KENSINGTON GARDENS in the North Laine, (01273) 606312 and - sometimes - from Punker Bunker on Sydney Street.All outlets charge a minimal booking fee - but are lovely people for selling our tickets, so we don't mind too much! You can also buy online at We Got Tickets
