LYDIA LUNCH'S RETROVIRUS : AN ALL-STAR CAST OF SONIC BRUTARIANS IN A NO-HOLDS-BARRED SURVEY OF HER MUSICAL OUTPUT FROM 1977 TO THE PRESENT.

Dronningen af no wave, noise og avantgarde kommer til 1000Fryd! Med sig bringer hun sit band bestående af guitarist Weasel Walter (Flying Luttenbachers), bassist Tim Dahl (Child Abuse) og legendariske Bob Bert (Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore) på trommer. De har senest udgivet albummet Urge to Kill, der pumper nyt liv i gamle klassikere fra Lydia's enorme bagkatalog fra Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, 8 Eyed Spy, Queen of Siam, 1313 og Shotgun Wedding.

"This is no county fair cover-band - RETROVIRUS is a totally modern take on the atrocities of the past and present, devoid of simpering nostalgia, bristling with a scoriatingly modern sheen of violence and momentum. Now is the time for people to get INFECTED."

"Lydia Lunch has spent decades trolling through the subterranean sick-home black & blues creating a schizophrenic musical legacy which loops from shrill No Wave to bludgeoning hard rock, from smoky jazz noir and illustrated word to macabre psychedelia."

MAG aka Magdalena Ågren works with live samplings of trombone, megaphone, voice, guitar, sound and the noise around her. The music is built up from scratch. From the smallest simple element it grows to a gigantic dystopian lo-fi orchestra that sometimes is restrained and suggestive, sometimes chaotic and wild.

MAG has toured in Scandinavia, Poland. Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Canada and USA, and has shared the bill with acts like Lightning Bolt, Legendary Pink Dots, Trumans Water, Ora Cogan, Wildbirds and Peacedrums, The Skull Defekts etc. And playd at festivals/venues such as Mission Creek Music and Art Festival (San Fransisco), Arts Birthday (Stockholm), FakeJazz (Vancouver), Festival of Endless Gratitude (Copenhagen) and Dockwille festival (Hamburg).
