More on Sister George
Description from Wikipedia:
Sister George was an influential queercore band from London that was formed in 1994. The groups' name was inspired by the 1968 UK movie The Killing of Sister George.
Although queercore bands had existed in the UK in the 1980s, such as The Apostles, Academy 23, and No Brain Cells and early 1990s, such as Tongue Man, Sister George brought queercore into the spotlight there. The members were Lisa on bass, Daryl on drums, and Lyndon on guitar and vocals. Ellyot Dragon shared vocals with Lyndon; she had left The Darlings, a band which included Lesley Woods, formerly of the post punk band Au Pairs, and Debbie Smith, later in Curve and Echobelly.
Their first album, Drag King, came out on Catcall Records. The band found themselves heralded in the pages of British music magazines such as the NME. They toured with acts like Huggy Bear and Hissyfit at first, but soon they were joined by other queer bands such as Mouthfull and Children's Hour, and it was these groups that popularized queercore in the UK. Their album was rereleased in the U.S. by Outpunk Records, and a music video for the song "Handle Bar" was made. This song also appeared on the Outpunk Records compilation, Outpunk Dance Party. Also featured on Drag King was a hardcore style cover of the Tom Robinson song "Glad To Be Gay", although Sister George was less than sincere in regard to the sentiment of the original. The Sister George version featured the voice of serial killer Aileen Wuornos chanting, "We kill in self defense" throughout the entire song.
Sister George performed in and are interviewed in the film, She's Real, Worse Than Queer by Lucy Thane.
