Nervous
Gender's
But how could this be accomplished? After much consideration and experimentation, they isolated certain elemental sounds, which transformed the format of this genre into a "hominus superbi" lattice. This is accomplished by the use of blatant emotional, bigoted, sexually brazen statements. The context of their songs deal with the seven deadly sins, and the random thought process of politically concerned, guilt ridden, stroke starved, would be sex symbols. Nervous Gender uses their electronic music skills as a envelope for their head butting lyrics. Nervous Gender was one of the four contributors to the 1980 video/record package "Live at Target" which was rather enthusiastically received in France and Germany. The New York Rocker said of Nervous Gender's contribution: "It is refreshing to hear such an original sound emerging from such a sleepy city as Los Angeles." Some may say Nervous Gender suffers from "Stockhausen Syndrome'" they would say they have "Stockholm Syndrome." September
