A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Pansy Division

  • Pansy Division

Being gay and out in San Francisco is about as revolutionary as opening a frozen-yogurt place, but being those things as a touring punk-rock band in the early ’90s certainly qualified as groundbreaking. With nine albums and many, many gigs notched in their belts, pioneering queercore act Pansy Division has earned a place among punk’s elders, but it hardly seems to be slowing down. This year has seen a new album—That’s So Gay, which includes a duet between lead singer Jon Ginoli and Jello Biafra—as well as Ginoli’s fascinating autobiography Deflowered: My Life In Pansy Division and the release on DVD of the documentary Pansy Division: Life In A Gay Rock Band.
