LL So Real PR.040815V4md PRESS RELEASE 8 April 2015 Howl! Happening: an Arturo Vega Project presents in association with Some Serious Business LYDIA LUNCH So Real It Hurts Exhibition and Events Illuminate the Full Creative Spectrum of This Passionate Multidimensional Artist As an artist defined by the soul eyes of the innocent, who populate her charged and layered collages, and who she is in reflective honor to, she has only one mission, to slay the bastards with kindness, with love, with a tongue-lashing they will never forget. —Thurston Moore Howl! Happening is pleased to present Lydia Lunch: So Real It Hurts, opening Friday, May 8, 2015, 6–8 PM at Howl! Happening, 6 East 1st Street (between Second Ave. & Bowery), in tHe East Village. The exHibition runs tHrougH June 5, 2015. Howl! Happening is an Arturo Vega Project. Visit www.Happening.Howlarts.org. Surveying tHe sweep of LuncH’s career from her days as a teenage runaway and instigator of no wave to tHe present, tHe exHibition includes epHemera, pHotos, posters and letters, and materials from some of her most notorious collaborators in music, spoken word, and literature; tHe photographic series The War Is Never Over; tHe X-rated, scene-of-the-crime installation You Are Not Safe In Your Own Home; and performances and live events by Lydia and friends tHat sHowcase Her astoundingly prolific work and continuing influence witH a multi-generational cast of cHaracters. Passionate, confrontational and bold, whether she’s attacking tHe patriarcHy and its pornograpHic warmongering, turning tHe sexual into tHe political or wHispering a love song to tHe broken-hearted, her fierce energy and rapid-fire delivery testify to her warrior nature. SHe has released too many musical projects to tally, has toured for decades, curated dozens of shows, written half a dozen books, and simply refuses to shut up. “I describe myself as a confrontationalist,” LuncH says. “I prefer not to be pigeonholed by generic labels like feminist and have never considered myself ‘punk.’” The War Is Never Over This is for the ghosts of Fallujah, Anbar Provence, Abu Ghraib, Baquba, Guantanamo, Gaza, Beirut, Baghdad, Kabul, Jalalabad, Islamabad, Mogadishu, Darfur, Sierra Leone This is for the dead and dying This is for the war-torn and battle-fatigued For the widows and orphans of warriors This is for the warriors . This is for the freedom fighters, the insurgents, the rebels and rabble-rousers This is for the ghosts of Brooklyn, the Bronx, Detroit, Watts, Inglewood, Oakland, St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis, Trenton, Camden, Baltimore, Newark, Little Rock, Baton Rouge And for every individual who revolts against tyranny and oppression . —Lydia LuncH, from Ghosts of Spain monologue “Dust and SHadows” When speaking about war and its endless cycle of deatH and destruction was not enougH, LuncH created Her own pHotographic language to express her obsession. In Blow Me Away, soldiers at tHe Gare de Lyon, in Paris, form tHe backdrop for a self-portrait; actor Ben Foster appears to cradle a child in tHe desolate remains of BelcHite (wHere 6000 men, women, and cHildren were killed by Franco’s army); MicHael Pitt and Asia Argento are battle-fatigued youth in Home Is Where the Hurt Is, while in pHotos like Ghost Girl, Collateral Damage, and Retribution, Lydia superimposes images of soldiers and guns over the faces of men, women, and children to make Her point. You Are Not Safe in Your Own Home This is tHe bedroom from Hell. A total environment, a violent collision of damaged body parts and tortured emotions battling eacH otHer in tHe condensed space of a finite time. Admittance to tHe XXX-rated installation is limited. Writer and BurrougHs scHolar Jack Sargeant says of tHe installation: “Imagine a fight club for fucking. An atmosphere that stinks of wet sex. A room that is littered with the detritus of need, soiled by the stigma of black lust.” “Pleasure is tHe ultimate rebellion,” Lydia says, “because it’s tHe first tHing our fatHers—those fuckers, the patriarcHy—steal from us in tHeir endless campaign of fear and terror. My main objective in making art is to rattle tHe cage, to wake people up, wake myself up—to confront apathy and tHe forces tHat oppress us. My goal is to reclaim man-made destruction and make it beautiful.” Special Events & Performances Sunday, May 17, 4 PM, Free: No Wave Now: Moderator Weasel Walter and panelists Lydia, Bob Bert, Bibbe Hansen, Carlo McCormick and Kembra Pfahler contextualize tHe relevance and rawness of no wave now. Friday, June 5, 7 PM, Free: Lydia Lunch Conspiracy of Women (1990): Lydia performs her early spoken-word classic, coinciding witH the May 4 release of Nicolas Jaar’s vinyl reissue of C.O.W. on his label, OtHer People. In Honor of tHe exHibition, Howl! Happening and Never Records will release eigHt one-of-a-kind vinyl records of previously unpublisHed spoken-word performances. A catalogue including essays by Carlo McCormick, Jerry StaHl, MicHelle Grabner, THurston Moore, Tanya Pearson, and Juan Azulay also accompanies tHe sHow. Live streaming 24/7: The Howl! Channel presents life, unadulterated. You might stumble upon nocturnal emissions with Lydia and a crew of friends at 3 AM or have Lunch with Lunch. UnscHeduled and anarcHic, tHe Howl! CHannel is Andy WarHol’s Empire meets Cage’s cHance operations, witH a dash of public access’s strangely canny take on humanity.

  • Kid Congo Powers Double Record Release Party
    KID CONGO POWERS DOUBLE RECORD RELEASE PARTY KID CONGO POWERS DOUBLE RECORD RELEASE PARTY Tonic, March 3, 2006 Kid Congo Powers is celebrating the release of two albums on March 3, 2006 at Tonic. The first, Solo Cholo, is a career-spanning compilation focusing on the legendary guitarist’s work as a vocalist and songwriter from 1985 to the present. The second, Philosophy and Underwear, is the debut recording of his current New York band, Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds - in which Kid not only sings, but also plays blistering dual guitars with ace Jack Martin (Knoxville Girls, Honeymoon Killers, etc.). After twenty-five years in the recording business (The Cramps’ Psychedelic Jungle was 1981), these two albums are the first full-length recordings that focus on Kid’s songs. The event also marks New York Night Train (www.newyorknighttrain.com) webzine’s debut as a record label. For this momentous occasion Kid has gathered an all-star cast of collaborators, friends, and favorites that will amount to one of the most unusual assemblages of underground figures in downtown history. The headliner is of course Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds. The Birds will also back up Thalia Zedek (ex-Come, Live Skull, Uzi, etc.) on a few Gun Club numbers (Zedek is the vocalist who reminds Kid most of Jeffrey Lee Pierce). Another highlight of the evening is the reunion of the original New York version of Congo Norvell – Kid, Sally Norvell (actress, ex-Norvells, Prohibition, etc.), Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Vanity Set, ex-Sonic Youth, Cramps, etc.), Paul Wallfisch (Botanica, ex-Firewater, Love and Rockets, etc.), and Brian Emrich (film composer, ex-Foetus, Toasters, etc.).

The two phenomena fed into each other and spiraled out of control. In a matter of months, a veritable revolution changed the way music was produced, played and heard. The old rock stars were forgotten and new rock stars began setting new trends. As far as white popular music goes, it was a sort of Renaissance after a few years of burgeoisie icons (think: Bowie), conservative sounds (country-rock, southern boogie) and exploitation of minorities (funk, reggae). During the 1970s alternative rock had survived in niches that were highly intellectual, namely German rock and progressive-rock (particularly the Canterbury school). They were all but invisible to the masses. 1976 was the year when most of those barriers (between "low" and "high" rock, between "intellectual" and "populist", between "conservative" and "progressive", between "star" and "anti-star") became not only obsolete but meaningless.

  • Sonic Youth: Celebrity DIY
    Essays — Peer Reviewed ZoneModa Journal. Vol. 7 (2017) https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2611-0563/7585 ISSN 2611-0563 Sonic Youth: celebrity DIY Alice Militello Pubblicato: 29 dicembre 2017 Abstract In New York City’s early ’80s music scene and beyond, the band Sonic Youth represents a special case of the celebrity’s concept. It cannot be reduced to the record sales or scandals, like other famous people. They don’t have the typical self-destructive streak of the stars of the show business, which is the basis of the fortune and, at the same time, the defeat of other musicians. They don’t even have the cult of personality, which has destabilized other crews of the time. However Sonic Youth, during their three decades of career, have been able to find a space in the music scene, to involve a broad segment of audience and lovers; becoming a kind of model for younger generations of musicians. Furthermore, the members of Sonic Youthcan be considered such as influencers ahead of his time, thanks to their ability to find new talents. The present study aims to analyze the concept of celebrity applied to the Sonic Youth language, from 1981 (starting year) to 1994, the year of Experimental Jet Set, Trash No Star album, which brings the group to that DIY (Do-It-Yourself) punk ethics that denotes them from the beginning; to plot the New York’s environment in which they fit; and how the entry into the mainstream world changes the aesthetics of the group. In other words, the research is a breakthrough of the band’s long career, marking the highlights that made them the Sonic Youth.

Rating: 7.9 I'm looking up from an interview with William Burroughs, at a mariachi group as they smile and try to find their balance on a downtown train. Their gestures of voice, guitar, and rhythm are promptly drowned in brake drones, the shuddering of the decrepit old tracks, and plastic-protected ads for acne surgery and model-proffered Budweisers. All I can hear through the din is the disquieting roar of Mars and singer China Burg's sinister slurring: "What I put together, I can take apart." Since I refuse to spend the $30 for a CD copy of No New York, I'm grateful to have the complete recordings of Mars (count one seven-inch, four tracks from NNY, and one EP-- a half-hour in total) howling through my headphones. For those keeping track, since the digital age, another complete discography of Mars already came out on the Atavistic label, but with vague sonic tweaking by Foetus scraper Jim Thirlwell. Purists might argue that since band member Mark Cunningham used a different master tape for transferring the Mars EP (even restoring its binaural recording quality), it's still not going to sound like the "murkier" frequencies of the original wax. From the metallic sparkle of the midnight blue card sleeve to the insightful commentary offered by the remaining members (Sumner Crane passed away earlier this year), this limited edition package is too exquisite to overlook, no matter how distressing the aural mess splattered inside.

    www.zerecords.com UNDER THE INFLUENCE / WHITE SPIRIT The 21st century has produced a new generation of young contenders of all kinds, who have, within months, spread a new string of names across the planet such as The Rapture, Playgroup, LCD Sound system, Liars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Radio 4 and the likes, just to name a few. Once again the heat was initiated in NYC, even though its Lower East Side epicenter « cleaned up » by Giuliani and Bloomberg, has moved a few blocks east and across the river to Brooklyn and Williamsburg. It might be wise to remind the younger ones among us that the origins of this new musical cycle is for the most part rooted in the NO WAVE movement of which James Siegfried aka James White, aka James Chance is undoubtedly one of its most prominent figures. New York City was hands down the artistic telluric center of the second half of the 20th century, especially from the 70’s, on. Rising from the ashes of the Velvet Un- derground, a slew of local bands redefined the aesthetics of rock’n’roll which the merchants of the temple hastened to rename under various designations, such as Punk, New Wave, No Wave, Jazz-Funk or even Disco and Disco- Punk without forgetting to mention the original Electro designation pioneered by the band Suicide. One of the indispensable and emblematic figures of the mid-70’s is of course James Chance. James Siegfried, born in Milwaukee in 1953, began his musical journey on the piano at the age of seven.
