Everything about God Is My Co-pilot Band totally explained
God Is My Co-Pilot is a
queercore band from
New York City that has been recording and playing since
1991. Their music has been variously described as
experimental,
noise rock,
hardcore punk and
avant jazz.
Stay Free zine said of the music, "We hear a new sound, 'free punk' we'll call it." The band themselves disliked that phrase, preferring not to classify their music at all.
The two main members are Sharon Topper, vocalist, and Craig Flanagin,
guitar. The band is often joined by guest musicians such as
John Zorn,
Jad Fair, and many others. Members have included
Fly on high-end bass,
Daria Klotz on low-end bass and Fredrik Haake on drums. They have toured and played with bands such as
Melt Banana, a
noise rock group from
Japan.
The band's lyrics frequently address themes of
sexuality and
gender. The band states, "...We're co-opting rock, the language of sexism, to address gender identity on its own terms of complexity...", in their song "We Signify". They occasionally sing in languages other than English; some of their output has been in
French,
Yiddish,
German and
Finnish, among others. They are extremely prolific and have released many recordings, all on
independent record labels.
