Australian punk band Private Function has made headlines with their latest album release, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, introducing a unique vinyl variant known as the “Goopy” edition. This special edition is said to carry the distinct scent of Gwyneth Paltrow’s private parts, inspired by the actress’s wellness brand, Goop, famous for its “This Smells Like My Vagina” candle. Guitarist Lauren Hester shared that the band found this concept intriguing and decided to pay homage to it.
The band’s attempt to capture Paltrow’s essence in a vinyl scent came after their failed attempt to purchase the original candle due to its high demand and resale value. Private Function believed that everyone, regardless of class, should have access to such an aroma, leading them to create the scratch-and-sniff “Goopy” record. To achieve this unique fragrance, the band collaborated with a French perfumer, keeping the surprise hidden until fans received their orders.
Private Function’s vinyl experimentation is not new, as their previous album featured a limited edition pressed with the band members’ urine. This bold and unconventional approach has become a trademark of the band, setting them apart in the punk scene.
Following the album release, Private Function is gearing up for a series of live performances across Australia, bringing their chaotic energy to the stage. Fans can catch the band at various venues, including Gang Gang Bar & Café in Canberra, Tanswells Hotel in Beechworth, and Crowbar in Sydney.
The band’s willingness to push boundaries and challenge norms has garnered both attention and controversy within the music industry. By infusing their music with provocative elements and unconventional marketing strategies, Private Function continues to captivate audiences and spark discussions.
As the band embarks on their upcoming tour, their fans eagerly anticipate the raw energy and unapologetic creativity that Private Function consistently delivers. With each performance, they solidify their reputation as a band unafraid to defy expectations and venture into uncharted territory.
Private Function’s bold and unorthodox approach to music and merchandising reflects a larger trend in the industry where artists are increasingly seeking innovative ways to engage with their audience and stand out in a crowded market. By embracing controversy and embracing the unexpected, bands like Private Function are reshaping the boundaries of creativity and expression in music.
