Lunch, Lydia -& Rowland S. Howard-
Shotgun Wedding
Lydia Lunch: New York Citys provocateur, poet, singer, author, performer and actress.
From fronting THE influential no-wave group Teenage Jesus and The Jerks to her current musical incarnation as Big Sexy
Noise, with Gallon Drunks noise makers James Johnston, Terry Edwards, and Ian White; countless collaborations and
projects in between Lydia has never played by anyones rules but her own. This 1991 collaboration with the Australian
iconic cult figure Rowland S. Howard is perhaps one of her most revered.
Featuring production by JG Thirwell (Foetus, Manorexia..) and drums by Jim Sclavunos (Bad Seeds, Grinderman..) its a
veritable who is who of the post punk / no wave scene of the time.
Rowland S. Howard is no doubt best known for his work with the Birthday Party, his discordant guitar is an essential
factor in their sound. Howard sadly passed away from liver cancer in 2009. A hugely influential alternative musician, in
2011 he was subject to a 110 min documentary entitled Autoluminescent, by cult filmmakers Richard Lowenstein, and Lynne
Maree Milburn which received independent cinema release. Featuring luminaries such as Nick Cave, Bobby Gillespie, Wim
Wenders, and of course... Lydia Lunch, the film highlights Howard s genius, talent, and rightfully elevates him to the
cult status he so deserves.
With both parties at the height of their respective talents, this is an alternative rock gem, yet however maintains an
atmosphere of eerie beauty throughout.
Out of print for years, this re-press is a must have.
