Gay Pop-Punk vs. Garage, Indie, Post-Punk
Pansy Division is a gay pop-punk formed in San Francisco in 1991.​ There have been gay musicians throughout rock music history, but when Pansy Division began they were one of the first to be so boldly open about it. Founded by guitarist/singer Jon Ginoli and bassist/vocalist Chris Freeman, with the intent of forming a gay rock band, ​and joined later by drummer Luis Illades and guitarist Joel Reader,​ Pansy Division blew the closet doors open.
Raised on a diet of 60s pop and 70s punk, their sound was suitably crunchy and catchy as hell. They wrote in-your-face lyrics, but did it with a sense of humor. Not only did their music and stance defy stereotypical norms of rock musicians being openly gay, they also broke gay cultural stereotypes that rock wouldn’t interest gay people.
Tenger kommen aus NR/Koblenz und bewegen sich zwischen Garage, Indie und Post-Punk.
Vier Leute, ein klarer Vibe.
Einlass: 20h, Beginn: 21h, Eintritt: 18€
