Theoretical Girls? I have no idea, just taking a guess.

There should be a contortions reunion

This is exciting. Lydia Lunch will take revenge on all of us.

tickets are definitely selling fast - i know about a quarter of the tix have already sold in the first week. thinking it'll sell out by the end or mid april.
i'd get tix sooner. to avoid ticketweb.com taxes you can buy them walk-up
direct from the knitting factory box office (74 leonard st) w/ no extra fee's.

and then check out Kim's show across the street...

that as well as thurston's book release party too.

 

That show is gonna rock

any word on if thurston's playing bass and/or who's opening?

lydia looks hot in that pic.

I was thinking about going to this because I will be in town that week but I'm not really a big Teenage Jesus fan, just thought it would be cool. But if Sonic Youth is indeed playing then I will go, maybe I should just buy the tickets? Only $20...

Did you know that Lunch didn't wear any underwear at Kim and Thurston's wedding?!

shows like this make me feel like a porn freak. here i am wishing i could be there, but i can't. fucking IL vs. NYC

Video Hysterie (1978-2006)

Lydia Lunch


RELEASE DATE: JUNE 10~!

This comprehensive visual retrospective of Lydia Lunch's musical collaborations from 1978-2006 is an incredible representation of her approach to art.

Hailed by the Boston Phoenix as "one of the 10 most influential performers of the 90's", no other artist of the 20th century has fought, forged, punched, and sculpted their own artistic vision in such a unique and original way.

Defying categorization, Lunch actively has conquered new territories, and has gained international recognition for the innovative quality of her work. Robert Palmer from THE NEW YORK TIMES writes "Miss Lunch was always an effective vocal performer.

But rock has grown complacent again -- even the underground rock that has borrowed so much from Miss Lunch's various bands over the years. Perhaps it's time for her to administer it a few more rude shocks.

Featuring footage from TEENAGE JESUS & 8-EYED SPY, VH is an indispensible compendium & cornerstone; approx 70:00, Dolby 5.1, photo gallery feature, PLUS complete disc/film/bibliographies.

that looks fantastic moshe!!! i really want that dvd!

a friend of mine almost got mad at me when she told me lydia still looks great and i replied "yeah, kinda".

Thurston is definitely playing bass for TJ ... and the band INFORMATION is opening both the early and late shows - which is the following: Rick Brown,
Phil Dray, Chris Nelson ... again, this is all ages. tix on ticketweb.com and
the knit box office (212 219 3006)

pigs fly etc

One thing I remember from 82 or 83 in an old Take It! newspaper and henceforth was Byron Coley's unrelenting and overwhelming praise for Information. I've never heard ANYTHING by these guys. My issues are in storage unfortunately so I can't pull out the review...I just recall Coley reviewing their cassette there and saying it was the greatest ever or something very positive along those lines, not that Coley is ever given to hyperbole.

I'm guessing that among the old cognoscenti the Information reunion is of more interest than Lydia and the one original Jerk with the fill-in players...
