Advocate March 5, 1981

The Advocate, the national gay newsmagazine, did a cover story by erdward Guthmann titled"Merry Musicmakers from Coast to Coast" surveying the fledgling organized gay and lesbian musical movement.

The article describes the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus and its three official subgroups, then the following quote:

  • A fourth, Automatic Pilot, is a non-official offshoot, and for obvious reason. Probably best described as New Wave-S/M-with-piano-and-strings, they recently sang "Sit On My Face" to an audience of potential benefactors.

This refers to the Kabuki performance Nov 23, 1980
