In 2001, Pansy Division was finally ready to record another album, but the lack of support from Lookout! caused the band to leave their long-time label and sign with Alternative Tentacles later that year.[19] What resulted was 2003's Total Entertainment!, an album that the band described as a meeting point between the lighthearted humor of their early work and the introspective rock of their previous album. Goodwin left the band the following year, being temporarily replaced by Bernard Yin and then by former Mr. T Experience member Joel Reader. Following the release of Total Entertainment, Pansy Division's active touring and recording schedule declined as most of the members relocated to different parts of the country. The band continued to perform sporadically, usually at various gay pride festivals or local shows in San Francisco. In 2006, Alternative Tentacles released The Essential Pansy Division, a comprehensive 'best-of' compilation featuring thirty tracks picked by Ginoli and a DVD of various video footage.[20] This compilation was motivated by the longer period of inactivity, and the idea that Pansy Division might be over.[21] However, in 2007, Pansy Division launched their first national tour since 2003 with reformed San Francisco punk band the Avengers, whose line-up featured both Illades and Reader. Then, in 2008, the band became the subject of a documentary film entitled Pansy Division: Life in a Gay Rock Band, directed by Michael Carmona. The film toured internationally, playing at various LGBT film festivals; it was released on DVD in 2009 and later also on YouTube.[22] 2009 also saw the release of Pansy Division's seventh studio album, titled That's So Gay, a live DVD, another national tour, and Ginoli's memoirs, a biography of the band entitled Deflowered: My Life in Pansy Division. The album was put together largely remotely, as band members worked from different cities.[23] After a seven-year break from recording, Pansy Division returned in 2016 with Quite Contrary.[24][25] This album includes a holiday song about being single on New Year's Eve "Kiss Me at Midnight (New Year's Eve)"; a song about internet dating "Too Much to Ask"; as well as a poignant break-up song "Something Beautiful".[26][27] Jon has performed "Kiss Me at Midnight (New Year's Eve)" solo, since the band members live in different cities.[28] The single released with this album is "Blame the Bible" (A-side) / "Neighbors of the Beast" (B-side). A music video was also produced for the song "Blame the Bible".[29][30] In 2017, Pansy Division was included in the documentary film Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution directed by Yony Leyser.[31] In November 2022, Pansy Division released a video for the 30th anniversary of their first single, "Fem in a Black Leather Jacket"; that video is available on their YouTube channel. In March 2023, they also released a series of three interviews for the 30th anniversary of the release of their first album Undressed.[32][33] Those interviews featured discussions with the cover model Alex Fazekas-Paul, recording engineer Kent Whitesell, and Lookout! Records' Larry Livermore. In the summer of 2023 they also have planned a short US tour for the anniversary.[34][35] In interviews, Ginoli has said that he plans to release a solo album eventually.[36] Chris Freeman has recently been touring with the AC/DC cover band GayC/DC.[37] In July 2022, Pansy Division played the Mosswood Meltdown, a large outdoor music festival in Oakland, California.[38] As of May 2023, Pansy Division has played 976 shows.[39] Pansy Division continues to play shows in 2023 as they inch toward their goal of having played 1,000 shows.[40][41][42][43][44] The band has begun reissuing remastered versions of their first three albums on colored vinyl, beginning with 'Undressed' in 2024.[45] Members[edit] .mw-parser-output .col-begin{border-collapse:collapse;padding:0;color:inherit;width:100%;border:0;margin:0}.mw-parser-output .col-begin-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .col-break{vertical-align:top;text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .col-break-2{width:50%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-3{width:33.3%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-4{width:25%}.mw-parser-output .col-break-5{width:20%}@media(max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .col-begin,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr,.mw-parser-output .col-begin>tbody>tr>td{display:block!important;width:100%!important}.mw-parser-output .col-break{padding-left:0!important}} Current members Jon Ginoli – vocals, guitar (1991–present) Chris Freeman – bass, vocals (1991–present) Joel Reader – lead guitar, vocals (2004–present; also of The Avengers, formerly of The Mr. T Experience and The Plus Ones) Luis Illades – drums (1996–present; also of The Avengers) Former members Patrick Goodwin – lead guitar (1997–2004; currently of Dirty Power, formerly of Hammers of Misfortune) Bernard Yin – lead guitar (2004; currently of Astra Heights) Jay Paget – drums (1991–1992; formerly of Thinking Fellers Union Local 282) David Ward – drums (1992–1994) Liam Hart – drums (1994) David Ayer – drums (1994) Dan Panic – drums (1994) Patrick Hawley – drums (1995) Dustin Donaldson – drums (1995–1996; currently of I Am Spoonbender) Discography[edit] .mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}Main article: Pansy Division discography Studio albums Undressed (1993) Deflowered (1994) Wish I'd Taken Pictures (1996) Absurd Pop Song Romance (1998) Total Entertainment!
