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.

Later versions labeled as "Ghosts of Spain", "Blood is just memory without language", "Sick with desire", "Toxic Lust", "Dust and Shadows", "Horribly True Confessions", "Drums - Voice - Brutality", "Brutal Measures" and "Verbal Burlesque". Mainly one-off live dates.
