Theoretical Girls were a New York-based no wave band formed by Glenn Branca and conceptual artist and composer Jeff Lohn[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 ("U.S. Millie"/"You Got Me"). Theoretical Girls 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 noise music. This experimental music was mostly supported by the New York art world and minimal art music audience.
