'''Sister George''' was an influential [[queercore]] band from [[London]] that was formed in 1994.<ref>http://www.discogs.com/artist/777795-Sister-George</ref> The group's name was inspired by the 1968 UK movie ''[[The Killing of Sister George]]'', which was an adaptation of a play of the same name.
Although queercore bands had existed in the [[UK]] in the 1980s, such as [[The Apostles]]/Academy 23, and No Brain Cells and in the early 1990s, such as Tongue Man, Sister George brought queercore into the spotlight there. The members were Lisa Cook on [[bass guitar|bass]], Daryl Stanislaw on [[Drum kit|drums]], Lyndon Holmes on [[guitar]] and vocals, and Ellyott on lead vocals and guitar; Ellyott was the main singer and song writer of Israeli band [[Pollyanna Frank]], one of Israel's most important alternative bands; she was also drummer of The Darlings, a band which included [[Lesley Woods]], formerly of the [[post punk]] band [[Au Pairs (band)|Au Pairs]], and [[Debbie Smith (musician)|Debbie Smith]], later in [[Curve (band)|Curve]] and [[Echobelly]].
Their album, ''Drag King'', came out on Catcall Records, which was run by Liz Naylor.<ref name="queertothecore">{{Citation
