| | LYDIA LUNCH & EXENE CERVENKA: FIRE AND BRIMSTONE (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The incendiary duo -- Lydia Lunch, the punk scene queen and performance-art maven who got her start, in the late '70s, playing guitar with Teenage Jesus and the Jerks; and Exene Cervenka of X -- sent the Central Square club up in a blaze of anarcho-feminist oration that drew out 100-plus loyal troops. |
 | | Lunch and Cervenka spiraled their dueling monologues into a cyclone of apocalyptic wrath, lamenting everything from sexism, rape, poverty, war, AIDS, "ecological genocide," and industry's Third World "Labor Camp" to the unpunished hubris of O.J. the religious right, and that evil succubus, Courtney Love. |
 | | Although I disliked the free-floating "they-noia" that tainted their perspective, assigning omnipotent, malicious conspiracies to every nook and cranny of society, the crowd's incessant chorus of "You go, girl!" told me I was outnumbered. |
