Here's the scoop...

Turning trauma into precise and angry feminist rock, American singer, writer and actress Lydia Lunch helped birth the No Wave music scene in the late 1970s and early ’80s—and she’s still killing it today. Fellow No Wave pioneer Beth B constructs a lively portrait of this innovative performer, whose confrontational artistry resonates loudly in today’s feminist landscape. Critics, filmmakers, musicians and friends discuss the relevance of Lydia’s brilliantly vitriolic world. 

If you are in the New York area, tickets are now on sale for the first two days of the IFC Center screening of Beth B's film: Lydia Lunch: the War is Never Over. Beth and Lydia will be present at the 7:40 PM show on June 30. https://www.ifccenter.com/.../lydia-lunch-the-war-is.../
