Lydia Lunch

Lydia Lunch: New DVD

Music Video Distributors and Atavistic have released Lydia Lunch - Willing Victim on DVD.

Lydia Lunch is a performer whose work has stretched over 25 years. Lunch has expressed her nihilistic aggression and sexuality as a musician, poet, novelist, playwright, actress, director and visual artist. She has worked with members of Sonic Youth, Foetus, Swans, The Birthday Party, and Einsturzende Neubauten, and fronted important no-wave band Teenage Jesus and The Jerks, as well as Beirut Slump, 8 Eyed Spy, and 13.13. No other artist of the 20th century has fought, forged, punched, and sculpted her own artistic vision in such a uniquely original way. Defying categorization, Lydia Lunch actively has conquered new territories, and has gained international recognition for the innovative quality of her work.

She returns on this DVD with her band Willing Victim, a five piece that includes members of Swans, Godflesh, Foetus and Unsane. Together they produce an ambient mood piece that over five movements devolves into a chaotic free jazz apocalypse. This DVD, filmed by Josep M. Jordana and Marc Viaplana, is a document of a 2003 concert in Graz, Austria, in which the audience plays the whipping boy to Lunch’s scathing catharsis. Willing Victim performs new songs as well as reworked renditions of Lunch favorites stretching back to the Teenage Jesus years.
