LESION ROCKS FOR THE IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN VETERANS
On Friday, April 30th at 8pm, LESION performs a benefit show for the IAVA at Fontana’s in New York City.
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) is the nation’s first and largest non-partisan, nonprofit organization representing veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The mission of IAVA is to improve the lives of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families through education, community and advocacy.
PISS, ART and the DOCTOR stopped by Rider University's 107.7 WRRC-FM The Bronc on March 25th. Highlights included PISS' semi-psychotic musings about playing guitar as well as a live acoustic performance of "Jump Ramp."
"...dramatic flair and over the top theatrical vibe reminiscent of early Alice Cooper wrapped in a combustible package ready to unravel at any given moment. This fearless troupe's versatile knowledge of heavy music from Queen to The Dead Boys to AC/DC ("Jump Ramp") and horror-movie lyrical topics project a vivid first-hand picture of what living in Lesion's debauchery-laden land of sex, drugs, and rock and roll excess is like..."
It took five years for LESION to release a new record but it was worth the wait. Nine brilliant rock songs and one incredible remix engineered and co-produced by the legendary Godfrey Diamond (Lou Reed, Aerosmith, Billy Squier). Includes I Am a Giant, Jump Ramp, So Well, Oh Well, The Witch's Tit and more. Download the SENIORS BALL press release.
Ah, the classics. Everyone loves a LESION movie (several of them have even won unimportant awards), but how do you get your hands on the stupid DVDs anymore? True, these cinematic epics delighted audiences for years, but have sadly been out of print for some time. Now, director Dr. Gustave Hurtz has personally overseen an extensive digital remastering process of all the movies, assuring that these important films can once again be enjoyed in all of their low-budget, shoddy production-value glory. Bonus features on the reissued DVDs include extended, "director's cuts" of select movies, photos and poster art from original movie premiere gigs, LESION live performances, trailers for all films, and more!

Details are sketchy, but Dr. Hurtz has promised a deluxe reissue of this classic compendium of fan mail before summer. Besides the original collection, this edition will include additional letters, and (possibly) the original LESION LINES, the unique invitations Dr. and the band would email announcing upcoming gigs (this was years ago, when they still spoke to each other, before they got old and bloated and stopped caring).
