Club Hoy was a Sydney-based Australian Pop rock ensemble established in 1989 by Penny Flanagan and Julia Richardson. Initially a duo, they launched their first single "On and On" in 1990 before adding Bernie Hayes on bass and Vincent Sheehan on drums.

In the early months of 1991, the band released a double A-side single featuring "Da Da Da Da" and "Green and Blue". Their primary single "House on Fire" came out ahead of their sole studio album, Thursday's Fortune, which was issued in November 1991 through Regular Records. The album reached number 96 on the ARIA Charts. A subsequent single was released in 1992.

During 1992, Club Hoy put out two EPs, one being Trumpets, which was promoted through the track "You Promised, You Said" and attained a peak position of number 88 on the ARIA Charts. That same year, the group provided vocals and appeared in Grant McLennan’s music video for “Surround Me”. The band dissolved in 1993; Penny Flanagan embarked on a solo path, whereas Julia Richardson and Bernie Hayes went on to form the Troublemakers.
