THE BAND GEEKS

WENDY MELVOIN, JON GINOLI, LISA COLEMAN & MATT ALBER

Formerly of Prince’s ’80s band, the Revolution, guitarist Melvoin (bottom, left) and keyboardist Coleman (bottom, right) released their album, White Flags of Winter Chimneys, last December and came out on Out.com this year. The duo (stage name: Wendy & Lisa) also compose the scores for the TV series Heroes, Mercy, and Nurse Jackie.

Three years after forming Pansy Division in 1991, guitarist and lead singer Ginoli (top, left) opened for Green Day, and 15 years later he is as prolific as ever, delivering a new album, a documentary, and a memoir, all in the past year.

YouTube watchers swooned last winter when they caught Alber’s (top, right) “End of the World” video, a moody, Mad Men­–style clip in which the musician waltzes with and kisses a handsome man in a barbershop. The former Chanticleer member released his solo debut, Hide Nothing, in 2008.
