Formed in 1991, queer punk icons Pansy Division will celebrate their 30th year as a band (after a pandemic delay) with three live shows in California this summer.
“It's great to have lasted this long,” vocalist/guitarist and band founder Jon Ginoli says in a statement, “It's exciting to have people excited about wanting to see us play at this stage in the band's career.”
Speaking to the significant change he has seen in the LGBTQ+ music scene in those 30 years, Ginoli adds: “There is so much of it now that I can't keep track of it, and that's a far cry from when we were starting out...If more people had been out then, especially in rock, we might not have felt the need to start this band in the first place. But there wasn't, so we did, and being so open, unapologetic, blunt and fun about it means it still resonates today.”
