Lydia Lunch

Lydia Lunch, född Lydia Anne Koch den 2 juni 1959 i Rochester, New York, är en amerikansk sångerska, poet, författare och skådespelare.

Som en del av det sena 70-talets No Wave-scen bröt hon ny mark med det inflytelserika bandet Teenage Jesus and the Jerks och allt sedan dess har Lydia Lunch fortsatt utmana med en mängd olika uttryckssätt - bland annat i samarbete med Brian Eno, Sonic Youth, Omar Rodriguez Lopez och Nick Cave.
