More from The Pansy Division

Well, I just love the Pansy Division, and have been a fan for a very long time. When it seemed that gay men had two choices in making music - Dance music [or Pop with Dance mixes] or Cabaret music - yet they took their own path, and helped pave the way for Queercore music, and made a statement that a bunch of gay men could rock! I loved them. They offered an alternative I didn't really know existed. They were loud, proud, and in your face, never stepping back from their sexuality. Take, for example, the track Bad Boyfriend, which is available on The Essential Pansy Division.



From that same album, you can catch the delightful song Groovy Underwear. I love it.



And, of course, there is the driving force and concern of every young man, the mysterious condition of being Horny In The Morning.



Here is a clip from a live show, when the boys sing I'm Gonna Be A Slut.

Christmas Music - Pansy Division




ANNOUNCEMENT - the songs are not really safe for work, due to language and sexual content. Of course, it is also part of the charm of Pansy Division.

I am still a huge fan of the Pansy Division.They have been leaders in the queercore movement, focusing on gay-centric themes utilizing hardcore and punk music. They formed in Sann Fransisco in 1991. They garnered more popularity when they opened for Green Day on the Dookie tour. They recently released a new studio album, That's So Gay. They also have a documentary making the rounds of some film festivals, Pansy Division: Life In A Gay Rock Band. I purchased both, although I have yet to watch the movie. However, since this is the holiday season, I will focus on their song Homo Christmas. The song can be found on the Essential Pansy Division collection, 15 great songs you can purchase from iTunes for just $11.99. Find it here.



While not a seasonal selection, Groovy Underwear has long been one of my favorites. Their sense of humor, the tongue-in-cheek look at the world just makes me smile and be happy. By the way, this is another band I have not had the privilege of seeing perform live, but I still have hope!



And, finally, we've all had at least one, and might have actually been one ourselves, so it is no shock the Pansy Division did a song called Bad Boyfriend. It was featured on the 1998 release Absurd Pop Song Romance as well as on the Essential Pansy Division.
