Treading the boards for the first time in the late 60's doing impersonations of Cher, Dusty Springfield and Janis Joplin, Wayne County was causing a stir in America long before he hit the UK Punk scene with a vengeance in 1977. In just two years Wayne and his band The Electric Chairs released three full albums, several singles, and the notorious 'Blatantly Offensive' EP.

But for once there was more to this 'Punk' act than a mere desire to shock and outrage: many of Wayne's songs reflected the inner hurt and anguish caused by his explicit transexuality. By the end of the decade, Wayne begun a full sex-change to emerge as Jayne County, and as such she has continued to perform in the rock and theatre world ever since.
