For 2004 onward UK singer and musician Amy Turnnidge, see Theoretical Girl.
Theoretical Girls were a New York No Wave band formed by Glenn Branca and Jeff Lohn (a conceptual artist and composer)[1] that existed from 1977 to 1981.[2] Theoretical Girls played only about 20 shows (three of which took place in Paris). It released one single ("You Got Me"), which had some attention in England where it sold a few thousand copies. The band was never signed by a record company, but is well regarded as an early leading No Wave group that mixed classical modern ideas of composition with punk rock. This experimental music was mostly supported by the New York art world and minimal art music audience.
