LYDIA LUNCH
http://www.lydia-lunch.org

Corsica Studios presents a special musical-visual performance featuring Lydia Lunch, James Johnston and Ian White in celebration of the launch of Lydia’s new book The Gun is Loaded forthcoming from Black Dog Publishing London UK.

To mark the release of this landmark work, Lydia will present material from her new cd - The Ghost of Spain, a psychoambient musical journey through the troubled history of the country she now calls home. The enduring themes of fractured memory, sex, sorrow, rage and war will be illuminated by James Johnston and Ian White. James, the founder and multi-instrumental force behind Gallon Drunk, and percussionist Ian White are past masters at musical mood manipulation and the perfect mediums for Lydia's deeply affecting Spanish séance.

"Live, HTRK are at their most confrontational. Cold beats, distorted by doped-out fuzz and punctuated by Jonnine's deadened solo percussion and hollow vocals, smack against the kind of bass that plucks out your
throat, all of it turned up to amp-blowing volume. Yet despite the layers, there's a sparseness and clarity throughout. Sexual disinhibition, discarded pride - all is laid bare. It's pop at its bitterest and darkest."- TANK MAGAZINE
