Northeast Party House

Northeast Party House are undoubtedly a party band, but don’t let that fool you. The Melbourne alternative dance outfit might be known for their unapologetically hedonistic lyrics and raucous live shows, but behind their songs of excess and frivolity is a band of surprising substance.

The high-energy party starters have moved on from warehouse parties in Melbourne’s inner city to national festival closers. NPH have built a loyal fan base around four self-produced, guitar-driven, dance-heavy LPs Any Given Weekend (2014), Dare (2016) & Shelf Life (2020), and their latest record Enhancer (2024) which have seen the band tour constantly in their home country as well as internationally, playing sold out headline shows and showcase events at Summer Stage (The Aussie BBQ) (NY), The Great Escape (UK), CMJ (NY) and Culture Collide (LA).

Almost entirely self-produced, the band, who met as students at a Melbourne high school, specialise in detailed melodies, sugary hooks, exhilarating beats and rhythmic guitars. They occupy a unique position in the Australian music scene as one of the few acts who are equally accomplished on stage and in the studio. This comes to the fore at their thrilling live gigs, where skilful guitars and drums retain the feeling of a band, while dynamic electronic elements heighten the party vibe.

Northeast Party House returned this year with their first new music since their record Shelf Life (2020) with the release of their fourth studio album Enhancer (2024) featuring latest singles ‘Cranky Boy’, which made it in triple j’s Hottest 200 of 2022, ‘Brain Freeze’ (2023), ‘Wish We Could’ (2024) and ‘Dark Boy’ (2024). Showing no signs of stopping, the renowned electronic dance act took their electric live show to theatres and venues in all mainland capital cities in August/September for the new record and recently dropped the Enhancer (Remixes) package to follow up the album release.
