teenage jesus and the jerks
Although relatively short-lived for a brief moment in latter part of the seventies Lydia Lunch's Teenage Jesus and The Jerks were the New York punk scene.
Originally featuring James Chance (of fellow no-wavers The Contortionists) on sax, the group's cacophonous, confrontational, and psychotically inaccessible sound won many fans, including Brian Eno who recorded them for the seminal no-wave document 'No New York'.
Splitting in 1979, the band has recently reformed, thanks in part to the new interest in no-wave that seems to be sweeping the Western world at the moment. Don't worry, they're still as ball-breaking as ever.
