 Punk rock nostalgia hounds will get a double dose of the stuff they crave this fall in the form of a co-headlining tour featuring the Avengers and Pansy Division.
For those who need their memories jogged, the Avengers are a short-lived San Francisco foursome who reunited half-intact this year, 30 years after they first formed. Frontwoman Penelope Houston and guitarist Greg Ingraham remain from the original lineup, and this will be the band's very first national tour.
Pansy Division have only been gone a short time by comparison: four years. Also from San Francisco, the former Lookout! "queercore" band is now signed to Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles and is readying its next full-length. Here's hoping for an LP full of songs as provocatively titled as past classics ("Dick of Death", "He Whipped My Ass in Tennis (Then I Fucked His Ass in Bed)", etc.).
The Avengers and Pansy Division now share DNA in the form of the Mr. T Experience/the Plus Ones' Joel Reader (bass in the former, guitar in the latter) and the Plus Ones' Luis Illades (drums). The joint tour kicks off in L.A. tomorrow night (October 11), but the Avengers have a single date without Pansy Division tonight in their hometown.
