On this date in 1977, The Electric Chairs released their second 7-inch record, "Fuck Off". It was backed by "On The Crest". Both tracks appeared on their second album, Blatantly Offenzive (really, an EP). The New York City punk band was fronted by Georgian born transsexual, Wayne County, and began life as simply The Electric Chairs. When the lead singer's notoriety became even bigger than the band, Wayne's name was prominently out front in the band's name. Supposedly, an operation in 1980 made him "Jayne" County, but he/she has claimed that the equipment was not altered.
