Additional Event Information
New York icon Lydia Lunch burst on to the scene as the teenage guitarist/singer of early No Wave band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, which she founded with James Chance at the end of the 1970s. After receiving high visibility from Teenage Jesus’ inclusion on the Brian Eno produced compilation, No New York, Lunch became a solo artist in 1980. She founded her own label and publishing company in the ’80s, which she continues to use to this day to release her spoken word and musical work. Lunch has collaborated with Sonic Youth, Nels Cline, Weasel Walter, Exene Cervenka, Nick Zedd, Richard Kern and many others in the fields of music, literature, film and photography.
For this performance, Lunch’s spoken word works will feature abstract instrumental accompaniment by Matt Nelson and Tim Dahl. Some of our audience will know Nelson from his work in the excellent, extended-technique sax quartet, Battle Trance, and his outstanding, electronically processed solo saxophone record, Lower Bottom. Bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Tim Dahl was a member of the noise rock group, Child Abuse, and has worked with Yusef Lateef, Archie Shepp, Von Freeman, Mary Halvorson, Eugene Chadbourne, Peter Evans, Marc Ribot, Ava Mendoza and many other musicians across the spectrum of creative music.
Singer/guitarist Aran Ruth has played a role in some of Detroit’s most noted pop-psychedelic and far-out rock groups, including The Sirens, Outrageous Cherry, Wiccans, and has performed with The Witches, Monster Island and The Electric Six. An excellent solo performer in her own right, Ruth kicks things off with a stripped-down set.
