JON GINOLI of PANSY
DIVISION will play solo for this event. Pansy Division is putting
out their first album in five years, TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT!, on Alternative
Tentacles Records. The first all-gay rock band, Pansy Division first
emerged a decade ago, when being gay and playing rock & roll seemed
like diametrically opposed ideas. Jon Ginoli is the singer and rhythm
guitarist for Pansy Division as well as its founder in 1991. |
