Lydia Lunch with Tim Dahl  & Kevin Shea- three of New York’s most notorious performers, come together to create an intimate evening of provocative musical poetry. Master bassist Tim Dahl and drummer extraordinaire Kevin Shea, set the mood with a devilishly seductive backbeat of psycho-ambient sound scapes which propel the dynamic histrionics of Lydia’s spoken word.

Lydia Lunch is passionate, confrontational and bold. Whether attacking the patriarchy and their 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, has published dozens of articles, half a dozen books and simply refuses to just shut up. She performs in a variety of mediums, is a rabid collaborator and continues to release new music as well as re-issuing classic material from her vast catalogue of written and musical works.

Since 2019 she has been hosting The Lydian Spin a weekly podcast with over 285 episodes featuring musicians, artists, writers and filmmakers in conversation.

Her decades long career is the subject of The War is Never Over, a feature length documentary by Beth B –which toured the UK, Europe and the USA throughout 2021 and into the spring of 2022.

Her self produced documentary Artists:Depression, Anxiety, and Rage is presently touring the USA & Europe. 

She is the recipient of Fellowship in 2022 for her contribution to Contemporary Music from Middle Tennessee State University, one of the nation’s oldest and largest archives devoted to preserving and studying the full scope of American Popular Music. Her vast artistic archives were purchased by New York University’s Fales Library in 2020.

TIM DAHL is a composer and professional electric and double bass player, vocalist, keyboardist and composer living in New York City. He is best known as the front man and bass player of the noise-rock band Child Abuseand the defunct avant-jazz group The Hub.He also writes and performs for the jazz ensemble Pulverize The Sound. Dahl has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe and Japan, and performed with many notable musicians, composers and performers including Yusef Lateef, Archie Shepp, Eugene Chadbourne,John Zorn, Marc Ribot, Elliot Sharpe, Tatsuya Yoshida and Stanley Jordan.

Drummer KEVIN SHEA started his training in elementary school and continued steadily through his college years at Berklee College of Music and subsequent graduation from New School. The global community first took notice of Shea back in the mid ’90’s with cult avant trio Storm & Stress on Touch and Go Records. Since then he has maintained a relentlessly prolific presence internationally with countless projects in the Rock, Avant-Garde and Jazz genres — including work with God Is My Co-Pilot, Mostly Other People Do The Killing, Great Lakes, Rhys Chatham, Talibam!, David Taylor, People (with Mary Halvorson) and ALPHAWHORE (featuring Chris Cochrane and Gordon Beeferman). Village Voice named him 2012’s Best Drummer in NYC. In 2021, Shea moved to Germany after receiving Moers Festival’s 14th annual Improvisor In Residence
