The Third Sex

The Third Sex was a popular queercore band formed in 1993, in Portland, Oregon. The Third Sex featured Trish Walsh on guitar and vocals, Peyton Marshall on bass and vocals -- and, initially, a series of drummers. Although a smaller band, they helped propagate the queercore movement across the country. A part of the Riot Grrrl scene, The Third Sex were significant in feminism's third wave -- and used DIY culture to help fuel their music and make it more widespread during the 1990s.
