BioNervous Gender is a punk band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1978 by Gerardo Velasquez, Edward Stapleton, Michael Ochoa and Phranc. Their purpose was to create totally synthetic punk music. In their own facetious language, to insert a backbone into electronic music’s much neglected testicles.
Nervous Gender’s total reliance of synthesizers and electronic sound techniques made them one of the original innovators of what is today called "Synthpunk". They have also been linked to the industrial and No-wave music styles and were an early influence in the queercore movement. NG always referred to themselves as techno-punks.
Nervous Gender’s use of confrontational lyrics, such as sex and religious guilt, frequently obscene material and audience-provoking behavior guaranteed them no commercial acceptance.
Nervous Gender is indeed harsh for those ears that are accustomed to frivolous tunes and meaningless concepts. Nervous Gender’s voice is a sometimes crass and sometimes overpowering experience. There is substance, however, in the words.
