Sexmob (also styled Sex Mob) is an American jazz band based in New York City that formed as a Knitting Factory vehicle for Steven Bernstein to exercise his slide trumpet.[1][2] Sexmob's sets feature a high proportion of covers, usually familiar pop songs, which are given a humorous but avant-garde treatment. According to Bernstein, this is a return to a fundamental jazz tradition of disassembling and reassembling familiar songs.
Sexmob was Laurie Anderson's band on her 2023-2024 Let X=X tour.
