Lydia Lunch: The War is Never Over
Screening at the Nuart on July 30 & 31
The Wrinkle Room and Moroccan Lounge present the iconic Lydia Lunch who endures as musician/performer/storyteller and musical schizophrenic. Her latest collaboration with femme fatale Sylvia Black can be seen and heard up close and personal at her only live show in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 29, 2021. The Moroccan Lounge will host a special performance of word and music with Lunch and Black — a musician, composer, and restlessly creative force — premiering new music from their upcoming album Sin City Salvation. Guitarist Gregg Foreman (Delta 72, Cat Power) joins the fun.
Also on the bill is dynamic vocalist Lisa Kekaula (The Bellrays), and author Adele Bertei (Why Labelle Matters). The show starts early, at 6:30 PM, and ends at 9:00 PM. Tickets are $15. The Moroccan Lounge is located at 901 East 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Seating is limited so first come first served.

Recorded during the pandemic, Lunch and Black have created a sexy, sinewy, musical crime noir drama with Sin City Salvation, inspired by too many late evenings spent glued to Forensic Files, New Detectives, and their own murderous love affairs.
This event is a special performance in advance of the documentary screening of Lydia Lunch: The War is Never Over, directed by Beth B. Originally released in 2019, the film is a career retrospective of Lunch’s controversial artistry and makes its Los Angeles premiere at the Nuart Theatre on July 30 and 31, 2021.

LYDIA LUNCH
Lydia Lunch is passionate, confrontational and bold. Whether attacking the patriarchy and its pornographic war mongering, turning the sexual into the political, or whispering a love song to the broken hearted, her fierce energy and rapid fire delivery lend testament to her warrior nature.
Queen of No Wave, muse of The Cinema of Transgression, writer, musician, poet, spoken word artist and photographer, she has released too many musical projects to tally, has been on tour for decades, working with such luminaries as Nick Cave, Thurston Moore, Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Karen Finley, Jerry Stahl, The Last Poets, and Hubert Selby Jr.
She has published dozens of articles, half a dozen books, translated into nine languages, appeared in numerous documentaries, conducted workshops, taught at universities including the San Francisco Art Institute, and simply refuses to just shut up.
Lydia Lunch: The War is Never Over by Beth B, a documentary overview of her relentless output and multiple collaborations beginning in 1977 to the present, is now touring the country and Europe receiving rave reviews and pulling in old and new fans alike.
