Post Punk Legends @aupairsband are back When they hit Network - March 21st
Au Pairs formed in late 1978 in Birmingham, UK in the post-punk era. They were a much-loved band who combined fun, dancey music with an innovative and, for that time, a daringly progressive message.
Their first album ‘Playing With A Different Sex’ is a post-punk classic and focusses on gender and other politics. A critic from The Guardian praised it for its “viciously well-observed lyrics on contemporary life, love and the role of women “.
The band is re-forming beginning 2026 when they commence a UK tour with Lesley Woods and new members. The 2 women/2 men balance remains .
Au Pairs blend political lyrics with a tough funk-dance-rock idiom which is as relevant today as it ever was.
