Lisa Crystal Carver - Definition and Overview

Lisa Crystal Carver's visionary writing in Rollerderby, made her perhaps the most famous writer of the zine boom in the early '90s, along with scribes like Pagan Kennedy. Through her interviews, she was responsible for introducing the work of Vaginal Creme Davis, Dame Darcy, Cindy Dall, Boyd Rice, Costes, Nick Zedd, GG Allin, Kate Landau, Queen Itchie & Liz Armstrong to many.

Her Suckdog Circus shows are also legendary, bringing the artists above to basement shows in nearly every state of the union, where they would perform noise music soap operas, hurling themselves sexually and violently upon the audience, and forcing individual audience members to take part.
