Tribe 8

5/5

Tribe 8 was an outspoken dyke punk band from San Francisco. Considered one of the first queercore groups, they take their name from the practice of tribadism, a "tribe eight" being a play on the word tribade, a word which was once used to refer to lesbianism.

The makeup of the group changed over time, but Lynn Breedlove and Leslie Mah (formerly of Anti-Scrunti Faction) were consistent members. Other members included Flipper, Slade Bellum, Jen Schwartz, Mama T, Kat Buell, and Tantrum.

In concert, lead singer Breedlove frequently performed shirtless, wearing a strap-on dildo, and encouraged audience members to interact with it. Their songs often deal with subjects such as S/M, nudity, fellatio, and transgender issues, and the band was the subject of controversy because of this.
