GG Magree’s “Spit Love” Album Release at Hollywood’s On The Rox blurred music and mayhem into one intoxicating night.
On Tuesday night, The Roxy Theatre’s On The Rox was glowing red in lust and liberation for GG Magree’s Spit Love album release. Somewhere between the stripper poles, the open bar, and the dollar bills stamped with her face floating through the air like confetti, GG Magree reminded Hollywood what a real album release party looks like.
On The Rox has seen a lot, but it hasn’t quite seen this: GG running through the crowd performing her debut album Spit Love, as dancers wrapped around the poles beside her, dollar bills rained down, and the room shouted every lyric back. Stripper poles glistened under the light, and throughout the night guests, friends, and artists took their turn spinning, laughing, letting go. This wasn’t just a performance, it was a collective release.
Magree, the Australian-born singer, producer, and DJ known for her blend of industrial pop-rock, chaotic glamour and raw feminine chaos, hosted the night like a ringleader in her own beautifully unhinged circus. Everyone celebrated the Spit Love album, a two-year project she described as “Charlie XCX meets Nine Inch Nails.”
“I don’t even know how I’m supposed to feel,” GG told LOOP before taking the mic, laughing like someone caught between disbelief and adrenaline. “I’ve never released a body of work before… I think I’m just gonna get drunk and let that do the feeling for me.”
Between sets by Vince Rossi, Slush Puppy, and Dalton, the energy was buzzing while GG danced through the crowd, snapping photos and greeting everyone like family. When it came time for her to sing, she didn’t take the stage, she became it. Surrounded by strippers-turned-background dancers, she tore through songs that radiated power and sexual liberation, the kind that makes you want to scream, dance, and fall in love with yourself all at once.
Her performance felt like watching an exorcism of inhibitions. “I love when people in the crowd feel hot,” she told LOOP. “There’s always a part of us that gets told to shut that light down, to not be too much or too loud. Spit Love is about being the biggest, boldest, craziest version of yourself and doing it in the hottest way possible.”
When GG started singing Spit Love, the title track, the crowd went crazy. “[Spit Love] is about a toxic love that’s addictive, passionate, and you just can’t quit, but by the end you realize it’s really about falling in love with yourself,” she said. “I just want people to feel happy, sexy, and confident when they listen to my music.” That’s exactly what the night delivered: Strangers came together on the dance floor, bodies moved without self-consciousness, and GG blurred the line between entertainment and chaos.
For the rest of the night, everyone mingled under the same red light that started it all, as GG danced with friends, twirled around the pole herself, and laughed at the thought of never feeling “finished” with anything. “I’ve already started the next album,” she said. “Nothing’s ever finished, I’m just constantly moving through things.”
If her album Spit Love is an ode to sexual liberation and being unapologetically yourself, then this night was its living embodiment: magnetic, raw, and gloriously unrestrained.
