From wikipedia:

Lydia Tomkiw
Lydia Tomkiw (August 6, 1959 – September 4, 2007) was an American poet, singer, and songwriter, best known for her work with the New Wave musical group Algebra Suicide, along with her husband Don Hedeker.

The band was popular in the Chicago area, and had a strong, if small, following elsewhere, especially Europe, where they toured in 1990. But while they enjoyed much critical success, financial success was lacking. Lydia purchased a club, the Club Lower Links, in 1991 with several partners, but within two years she was forced to sell her share. She and Hedeker divorced in 1993, and while they remained together professionally a bit longer, the end was clearly in sight. Algebra Suicide broke up for good in 1995.

After the divorce, Lydia moved to New York City in the East Village. There she developed a solo record, Incorporated, which tapped a number of avant garde artists like the Legendary Pink Dots for production and performance help. She also continued to perform her poetry at various readings around the city. Though she continued to write poetry and some fiction (reportedly including a novel called Ugly Kids), she had to take other jobs, including temp work, to make a living. She spent her last years in Phoenix, Arizona near her family. She died in September 2007 of unspecified causes.
