fake band members

i just watched this weird nina hagen video on ask pud, and i realized that it is totally the 1980s predecessor of lesbian feminist electroclash video artist tracy & the plastics. (far too few of my readers will know who that band is, alas.)


i wonder if that video was perhaps an unconscious inspiration for tracy (aka wynne), or a conscious one.

p.s. one of my claims to fame is that i set up a show for tracy & the plastics when i was in college, when they were making their debut tour. they didn't even have a name yet when we started planning the show!

i wish i was still cool. :(
