Before #MeToo, before Riot Grrl, there was Lydia Lunch. A central
figure in the No Wave scene of the seventies as founder of the
seminal Teenage Jesus and The Jerks Lunch has pursued a four decade
long career turning the substance of her life into unapologetic,
stark, and beautiful art. From the eighties onward, Lunch became a
lone voice publicly calling out the patriarchal aggressions and
day-to-day violence enacted by the powerful and never gave a good
goddamn whether you wanted to hear it or not. Refusing to be
silenced, she took to stages the world over, fearlessly speaking
the truth, whether of her own life with its legacy of parental
abuse, of her wild times owning the streets of New York City, or of
the world she saw around her. Seeing no boundaries between creative
mediums, Lydia has enacted her vision through music, spoken word,
film, theatre, and more. Released as an accompaniment to Beth B s
new documentary The War Is Never Over, this book is the first
comprehensive overview of Lunch s creative campaign of resistance,
a celebration of pleasure as the ultimate act of rebellion. Across
these pages, Lunch and her numerous collaborators including
Thurston Moore, Jim Sclavunos, Kid Congo Powers, Bob Bert, Richard
Kern, Nick Zedd, and Vivienne Dick recount life at the frontline of
the musical extremes of the seventies and eighties underground, the
wild times, the disciplined productivity, life lived as a defender
of the voiceless, and an unapologetic force of righteous fury.
