Angels Are Genderless

Mackie letter mentioning the band

Relevance

Morrissey mentioned this band in a letter to Robert Mackie dated March 10, 1981:

"I've just had a book published on the New York Dolls, I'd love to send you a copy, but I only have two myself. Watch out for my James Dean book. Such a torrid, crazy, insane life I lead! I am presently forming a group, in fact have done so. We are called Angels Are Genderless and are rehearsing as soon as my jet-lag subsides. So, what's exciting in YOUR life, young feller-me-lad?"

There is nothing more known about this mention of a pre-Smiths band - whether real or part of Morrissey's idiosyncratic letter writing style.
