The Third Sex (band)

The Third Sex were an early American punk rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in the late 1970s. They are notable for their confrontational lyrics, often exploring themes of gender identity, sexuality, and social alienation. The band's sound, while rooted in punk, also incorporated elements of glam rock and art rock, contributing to a distinctive and somewhat theatrical performance style.

The band's discography is limited, consisting primarily of singles and compilation appearances. Despite not achieving mainstream commercial success, The Third Sex are recognized for their contributions to the Los Angeles punk scene and their pioneering exploration of LGBTQ+ themes within the genre. Their music and performances were influential in shaping a more inclusive and subversive landscape within punk rock. Specific band members and detailed biographical information are difficult to ascertain due to the relatively obscure nature of their recordings and activity.
