Click above photo to a read few of the artists favourite (and not so favourite) things from an NME article clipping circa 1982.
In addition to fronting the highly influential No-wave band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Lydia also acted in, wrote and directed several underground films, recorded and performed as a spoken word artist and started her own recording and publishing company called "Widowspeak."



She is currently on tour promoting a new album with long time punk partners in crime Terry Edwards, James Johnston & Ian White called "Big Sexy Noise." For tour dates and other info see here.
