Lydia Lunch

Lunch was born on June 2, 1959, in Rochester, New York, and is of German and Italian descent. She moved to New York City at the age of 16 and eventually moved into a communal household of artists and musicians.{{cn|date=May 2022}} After befriending Alan Vega and Martin Rev at Max's Kansas City, she founded the short-lived but influential no-wave band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, with James Chance.{{harvnb|Masters|2007|p=82}} Both Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and the Contortions, Chance's subsequent band, played on the no wave compilation No New York, produced by Brian Eno. Lunch later appeared on two songs on James White and the Blacks album, Off-White. She was in two other short lived bands before launching her solo career in 1980, Beirut Slump and 8 Eyed Spy.Forced Exposure magazine, Issue #10, 1986 In the mid-1980s, she formed the recording and publishing company "Widowspeak Productions" (also known as just "Widowspeak"), on which she continues to release her own material, from music to spoken word. Two albums published by Lunch's label were released in 2013: Collision Course & Trust The Witch, by Big Sexy Noise (released on Cherry Red), and Retrovirus (released on Interbang Records); both albums are by Lunch's musical projects.{{cite web|title=Widowspeak Productions|url=http://www.discogs.com/label/27120-Widowspeak-Productions|website=Discogs.com|access-date=January 2, 2014|year=2013}}

In 2010, The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project launched We Are Only Riders, the first of a series of four albums featuring Pierce's previously-unreleased works-in-progress. The album features interpretations of Pierce's work by friends, collaborators, and admirers, including Lunch.{{cite web|title=The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project|url=http://label.glitterhouse.com/releases.php?show=13|publisher=Glitterhouse Records|access-date=October 27, 2012|date=November 1, 2010}} Lunch also contributed to the second album from the project, The Journey is Long, which was released in April 2012.{{cite web|title=Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project to release second album...|url=http://louderthanwar.com/jeffrey-lee-pierce-sessions-project-to-release-second-album/|publisher=Louder Than War|access-date=October 27, 2012|author=Phil Newall|date=February 9, 2012}}

Although the Pierce Sessions Project's third and final album, The Task Has Overwhelmed Us, was due for release in late 2012,{{cite web|title=Nick Cave and Blondie's Debbie Harry duet on The Gun Club tribute album|url=http://www.uncut.co.uk/nick-cave/nick-cave-and-blondies-debbie-harry-duet-on-the-gun-club-tribute-album-news|work=Uncut|access-date=October 27, 2012}} the schedule was changed after the release of the second installment. Glitterhouse Records, the label producing the collection, instead released a third album titled Axles & Sockets in May 2014, on which Lunch performs "The Journey Is Long" with Pierce's recordings. The label explained that the third album has become the "penultimate" full-length release of the Project, but did not name the final album, or its release date.{{cite web|title=The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project|url=http://label.glitterhouse.com/releases.php?show=190|website=Glitterhouse Records|access-date=December 31, 2014|date=May 2, 2014}}

Lunch released the album Retrovirus (also the name of the band Lunch has played with since then) in 2013 on Interbang Records and ugEXPLODE (the vast majority of the album tracks are published by Widowspeak).{{cite web|title=Lydia Lunch – Retrovirus|url=http://www.discogs.com/Lydia-Lunch-Retrovirus/release/4840820|website=Discogs.com|access-date=January 2, 2014|year=2013}} Together with band members Weasel Walter, Algis Kizys, and Bob Bert, Lunch performed a show following the album's release at the Bowery Electric venue in New York City, in May 2013.{{cite web|title=Lydia Lunch / Retrovirus – at Bowery Electric, NYC – May 29, 2013|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqssrtolCuc|publisher=YouTube|access-date=January 2, 2014|format=Video upload|date=June 1, 2013}} In March 2022 the Center for Popular Music (CPM) at Middle Tennessee State University named her the recipient of the CPM Fellows Award. The only previous recipients of this honor were Barry Gibb and Lamont Dozier.{{cite web|url=https://www.mtsu.edu/popmusic/|title=Lydia Lunch: 2022 Recipient of the CPM Fellows Award|website=Middle Tennessee State University|access-date=8 April 2022}}

She appeared in two films by directors Scott B and Beth B.{{cite news|url=https://6thfloor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/20/lydia-lunch-through-the-years/|newspaper=The New York Times|title=Lydia Lunch Through the Years|first=Ada|last=Calhoun |date=December 20, 2013}} In Black Box she played a dominatrix, and in Vortex she played a private detective named Angel Powers. During this time, she also appeared in a number of films by Vivienne Dick, including She Had Her Gun All Ready (1978) and Beauty Becomes The Beast (1979), co-starring with Pat Place.{{harvnb|Masters|2007|p=160}} In 2011, Lunch appeared in Mutantes: punk, porn, feminism, a film directed by Virginie Despentes, also featuring Annie Sprinkle and Catherine Breillat.

She also wrote, directed, and acted in underground films, sometimes collaborating with underground filmmaker Nick Zedd and photographer Richard Kern.

Lunch has recorded and performed as a spoken word artist, collaborating with artists such as Exene Cervenka,{{cite web|author1=Rob Trucks|title=Interview: Exene Cervenka of X|url=http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2008/05/interview_exene.php|website=The Village Voice|publisher=Village Voice, LLC|access-date=November 22, 2014|date=May 20, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203113106/http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2008/05/interview_exene.php|archive-date=February 3, 2014}} Henry Rollins, Don Bajema and Hubert Selby Jr. as well as hosting spoken-word performance night "The Unhappy Hour" at the Parlour Club.{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-jul-02-lv-unhappy2-story.html |title=Tales and Cocktails|work=Los Angeles Times |date=December 9, 1998 |access-date=April 3, 2012}}{{cite web|title=LYDIA LUNCH|url=http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=lydia_lunch|website=Trouser Press|publisher=Trouser Press LLC|access-date=November 22, 2014|year=2007}}

In 1997, Lunch released Paradoxia, a loose autobiography, in which she documented her early life, sexual history, substance abuse and mental health problems.[https://www.popmatters.com/pm/feature/59917/nothings-shocking-an-interview-with-lydia-lunch/ Nothing's Shocking: An Interview With Lydia Lunch] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080718163049/http://www.popmatters.com/pm/feature/59917/nothings-shocking-an-interview-with-lydia-lunch/ |date=July 18, 2008 }}, Drew Fortune, July 18, 2008] Time Out New York gave it a favorable review,{{cite web|last=Brown |first=Liz |url=http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/books/22985/paradoxia |title=New York Time Out |publisher=New York Time Out |date=October 4, 2007 |access-date=June 29, 2014}} while Bookslut ambiguously concluded "It's to the reader to determine whether Lunch's study goes deeper than that, or if instead, it's a kind of literary and philosophical repetition compulsion, a reprisal of greatest hits from male nihilists, sexual adventurers and chroniclers of deviance." PopMatters called it a "brutal but boring and predictable circus, about which Lunch shows no emotions. Only fatigue seems to have given her pause."{{Cite web |url=https://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/paradoxia-by-lydia-lunch |title=Paradoxia by Lydia Lunch < PopMatters |access-date=April 17, 2020 |archive-date=October 22, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022010935/http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/paradoxia-by-lydia-lunch/ |url-status=dead }}

Additionally, Lunch has authored both traditional books and comix (with graphic novel artist Ted McKeever).

In 2013, Lunch ran self-empowerment workshops in locations such as Ojai, California, US and Rennes, France. In regard to the Rennes workshop, her inaugural self-empowerment event, Lunch recalled: "Every day people would come in that would have to get a hug. I felt like mother India."{{cite web|url=http://6thfloor.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/20/lydia-lunch-through-the-years/|title=Lydia Lunch Through the Years|work=The New York Times|date=December 20, 2013 |access-date=December 28, 2013}} In April of that year, Lunch said that she is the producer of the Emilio Cubeiro album Death of an Asshole. In 2014 Lunch shot a series of photographs with Austin, Texas-based artist, Darla Teagarden.

In 2019 Lunch started the podcast The Lydian Spin. Lunch hosts each weekly episode with bassist Tim Dahl.{{cite web|url=http://lydianspin.net |title=The Lydian Spin |website=Lydianspin.net |access-date=March 12, 2020}}
