-Information in grey italics is uncertain-

2007 The year in which Lydia Lunch creates and tours her Hangover Hotel project.

	Hangover Hotel is a follow up to the The Real Pornography project. The music was created mainly by Lydia on PC and partly a collaboration with Spanish band Les Aus. In the meantime it's available on the self-produced "Ghosts of Spain" album. It's psychoambient music; it's about sex, the desert, ghosts. A bit about the war, and just about trying to find beauty in all this. Mainly one-off live dates.

Live Line-up #1 (Europe July 2007): Lydia Lunch (voice)/ Mark Cunningham (trumpet) and Silvia Mestres (vocals) [both Convolution] with Arnau Sala (drums) [Les Aus] and videos by Marc Viaplana.
