Pansy Division
Life In A Gay Rock Band
Undeniably one of the most gay music acts in the last twenty years, Pansy Division pioneered queercore before others had
the confidence to come out of the closet-and they did it all without major record label support or mainstream radio
airplay. This humorous and fast-paced yet intimate portrait of the band features newly shot footage and archival footage
spanning 15 years. From their first days in San Franciscos underground music scene to a full-fledged stadium tour with
Green Day and beyond, founding members Jon Ginoli and Chris Freeman overcame
prejudice, near-poverty, and increasingly difficult line-up
changes to keep the band together. The film also examines issues that confronted the gay community in the 1990s, as well
as the adversity one encounters simply by being oneself. Pansy Division: Life in a Gay Rock Band features interviews and
appearances by Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), Jello Biafra, Lookout! Records founder
Larry Livermore, and Jessie "Luscious" Townley (Blatz, The Criminals, Alternative Tentacles). This documentary provides
an essential history of an alternative to the 1990s alternative music. The release comes with a bonus DVD of more than
two hours of live footage spanning the history of the band.
