PANSY DIVISION: LIFE IN A GAY ROCK BAND

Director: MICHAEL CARMONA

U.S.A. • 2007 • 84MINS


Forget Scissor Sisters and Sir Elton. One of the most important and influential gay music acts in the last twenty years has to be cult icons Pansy division, godfathers of the early ’90s ‘queercore’ punk genre long before most performers had the confidence to come out. Using original and archive footage from their fifteen year history, Pansy Division: Life in a Gay Rock Band is a fast-paced, intimate and humorous account of the group’s history, from their genesis in San Francisco’s underground music scene to a full-fledged stadium tour with Green day. This is an unmissable treat for alternative queers, punk fans and anyone who can really appreciate a song titled ‘Bill & Ted’s homosexual Adventure’.
