Penthouse Paupers were a Melbourne independent rock band in the mid to late 80's, with a classic Aussie pub, rhythmic rock sound characteristic of the era. Their eponymous debut, released on the Grown Up Wrong label, reached #9 on the Indie charts in 1987. This was followed up with the single, "Same Place Twice" in 1988 which reached #11 on the Indie charts.
The Paupers were part of a scene which included the Huxton Creepers, Painters and Dockers, the Cracked Jaffers, the Puritans and others who helped contribute to the Melbourne sound which bands like Jet (band) reflected two decades later. Their live career spanned five years, performing close to 200 gigs, including headlining at classic Melbourne venues such as the Punters Club, the Prince of Wales, the Palace, the Esplanade Hotel, the Club and others. The Paupers also shared the bill with classic acts such as The Troggs, Hunters and Collectors, Screaming Tribesmen, and TISM
