Nice profile of
LYDIA LUNCH
over at URBAN ASPIRINES
As per usual the text alone is worth a read over at Urban Aspirines and if you don't know Lydia and her place in Teenage Jesus and The Jerks, no-wave and post punk music than this is the place to find out!
Lydia Lunch (born Lydia Anne Koch, June 2, 1959) is an American singer, poet, writer, actress and self-empowerment speaker. Her career was spawned by the New York City no wave scene in the 1970s, predominantly as the singer and guitarist of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. Her work typically features provocative and confrontational noise music delivery, and has maintained an anti-commercial ethic, operating independently of major labels and distributors. The Boston Phoenix named Lunch one of the ten most influential performers of the 1990s. Her collaboration with Sonic Youth called "Death Valley '69" was named one of "The 50 Most Evil Songs Ever" by Kerrang!.
