With song titles such as "Bill & Ted's Homosexual Adventure," "James Bondage," and "Touch My Joe Camel," gay rock band Pansy Division was at the forefront of the Queer Core music phenomenon in the 1990s, rising in popularity and even opening for '90s alt gods, Green Day. Pansy Division: Life in a Gay Rock Band charts the band's development through interviews with key band members and rare concert footage from gay parades and not-so-gay venues, such as Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom. A fast-paced, intimate, and humorous account of one of rock music's most fearless acts, this is an essential history of a niche of music that is only now beginning to be appreciated.
