About This Show

Our Story: Girls in the Nose: Pickin’ since 1985

Girls in the Nose (GITN), a lesbian-feminist rock band of six uncompromising women, was founded in Austin, TX in 1985 by Kay Turner, Gretchen Phillips & Betsy Peterson to create activist lesbian, sex- positive music and performance. Active from 1985-1996, the Noses are touring again with our 30th anniversary show Live from the Middle Ages. Girl in the Nose still brings the crazy, rude, crude shows that brought many a house down from NYC to Seattle, San Francisco to Chicago, Michfest to Rhythmfest. Our original songs include Come and Die, Bite Me, Breast Exam, Sodomy, More Madonna, Less Jesus, and Where Girls Go. In June 2016, Girl in the Nose and all her glorious odors return to NYC, where Lesbopalooza was founded 25 years ago!
