Lydia Lunch was born in 1959 in Rochester, New York. She enjoyed art, and expressed this interest through music with the punk rock band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. She also appeared with the bands Beirut Slump, 8 Eyed Spy, the Devil Dogs, Harry Crews and Shotgun Wedding. Along with Richard Kern, she shot a film about abuse addiction called The Right Side of My Brain. Lunch writes about the dark side of sex, drugs, and violence in the books Paradoxia: A Predator's Diary, Adulterers Anonymous and Incriminating Evidence: The Collected Writings of Lydia Lynch.
