i though he wasnt-- i remember the back cover of no new york chance was in the contortions and not w/ the teenage jesus lineup
however wikipedia sez otherwise: they started it but split.

Quote:
While Chance was professionally and romantically linked with No Wave musical luminary Lydia Lunch, the duo created seminal No Wave group Teenage Jesus & The Jerks; then after Chance left the group in 1978 due to professional differences, Chance went on to form the Contortions and James White and the Blacks (Lunch appeared on the album Off White as "Stella Rico").
