REMEMBER Teenage Jesus And The Jerks, New Yorker Lydia Lunch's punk and No Wave band of the late-1970s?

Lunch, 58, is still touring, now with Weasel Walter in their Brutal Measures (Voice and Drums) show that promises brutal, beautiful, heartbreaking true tales from America’s dark side at Fibbers, York, on Monday.

Lunch is "passionate, confrontational and bold, whether attacking the patriarchy and their pornographic warmongering, turning the sexual into the political or whispering a love song to the broken hearted, with her fierce energy and rapid-fire delivery lending testament to her warrior nature".

Queen of No Wave, muse of The Cinema of Transgression, writer, musician, poet, spoken-word artist and photographer, Lunch has released too many musical projects to tally, has toured through the decades, published dozens of articles and half a dozen books and refuses to shut up.

Brooklyn’s Akashic Books have printed her anthology Will Work For Drugs and her outrageous memoir of sexual insanity, Paradoxia, A Predator’s Diary, a book that has been translated into seven languages.

She performs in a variety of media, is an enthusiastic collaborator and continues to release new music, as well as re-issuing classic material, such as her spoken-word indictment against patriarchal idiocy, The Conspiracy Of Women, on Nicolas Jaar’s label, Other People.

Weasel Walter is an avant-garde Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist, composer and improviser, who led the punk-jazz/no-wave/brutal-prog band The Flying Luttenbachers between 1991 and 2007 on 16 releases.

"Seamlessly uniting the intensity and abstraction of improvised music with the nihilist aesthetics of extreme rock forms, I'm committed to violent momentum, idiomatic unpredictability and rapid articulation," he says.

An expert on the underground music scene of the late 1970s, Walter has lectured at various universities, such as Bard, San Francisco Art Institute, and the University of Chicago in Paris. He also penned the introduction for Marc Masters' No Wave, a book acknowledged as the definitive history of the New York movement, from which Lydia Lunch emerged in 1977 with Teenage Jesus And The Jerks.

In 2012, Walter began working with Lunch as musical co-ordinator and lead guitarist for Retrovirus, a retrospective project that spanned Lunch's musical legacy from No Wave Skronk to bludgeoning hard rock, from sleazy jazz noir to propulsive psychedelia. Their second album, Urge To Jill, has been released in the United States, Britain, Europe and South America.

Presented by York promoters TV's Over, Monday's Brutal Measures show combines the controversial spoken-word dynamics of Lydia Lunch with the improvisational virtuosity of Weasel Walter in a night of intimate, terrifying and humorous musical verité.

Tickets are on sale at fibbers.co.uk or on the door from 7.30pm.
