It's a Queer World After All

Hasn't pop culture always been a little queer? From professional sports to last week's episode of Nip/Tuck, we've all enjoyed a little queer. So lets break it down and see where it lands us. BE SURE TO CHECK THE ARCHIVE ON THE RIGHT FOR OLDER POSTS BY MONTH.

Music-Deerhunter

Hailing from lovely Atlanta, GA, Deerhunter is a self-described ambient punk group, citing Brian Eno and David Bowie as major influences on its music.

Arguably one of the more queer aspects of the band's reputation is lead singer Bradford Cox's tendency to perform in sundresses and smear fake blood on his face and hands. 

Obviously, there is a more savage element to their live performances in comparison to their studio albums.

Conclusion: One of the best bands to see live. Cox knows how to put on a show.

However, until then be sure to check out the bands three studio albums "Turn It Up Faggot/Deerhunter," "Cryptograms," and
 "Microcastle."

For those wanting instant gratification though, check out this video from a live show in 2007.
