She-Dick was an American electropop band fronted by a drag trio that was formed in Dallas, Texas, in October 2006. The self-proclaimed "female detectives by day and pop-stars by night"[1] sing adult-oriented, innuendo-filled songs about "succulent hot dogs, nasty blowjobs and butter-pecan ice cream".[2]
Biography
[edit]Formation
[edit]The band began when three gay men met at the Cedar Springs Block Party, the annual Dallas gay Halloween celebration. The founding members of She-Dick were Miss Candi Shell, Miss Gloria Hole, Miss Annie Rex and the producer, Hans HandiKraft, who began toying with gender roles and creating electropop beats with hyper-sexual, gender-bending themes.[3] In July 2007, Rex left the band and Princess Persia joined.[4]
After She-Dick walked the runway at the DIFFA (Design Industry Fashion For AIDS) 2007 Dallas Collection charity event that things really took off for the band.[3] Its first live performance was at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios performing with the touring bands Femme Fatality and Lazer as well as a duet with Teresa Nasty. She-Dick opened for the gay rapper Cazwell at Minc Lounge,[5] a Dallas nightclub that hosts performances by artists such as Erykah Badu, Kaskade and DJ Tiesto.[3][6]
Film projects
[edit]So Beautiful is a feature-length motion picture loosely based on the chaotic and controversial activities of She-Dick at the 2007 DIFFA fashion event. Filmed and produced by Adriana, a Dallas-based independent filmmaker, it was due to be released in summer 2008; however it is awaiting release.[needs update]
