Bizarro Promotions presentsLYDIA LUNCH & MARC HURTADO plays SUICIDE and ALAN VEGA with support WITCH HOOK
Lydia Lunch first crossed paths with Alan Vega and Martin Rev when she arrived in New York aged 16 in the mid 70’s. She saw them perform as Suicide a collision of avant-garde performance art and minimalistic rock, that pre-dated punk by a number of years.
Lunch has since described the performance as ‘a total show, theatrical, free, violent’. Since that initial meeting Lunch formed an enduring friendship and a creative partnership with Vega and Rev, performing on stage with Suicide and providing additional vocals on the legendary track ‘Frankie Teardrop’ which was part of the Suicide debut album, as well as duetting with Vega on ‘Prison Sacrifice’ which featured on the 2010 ‘Sniper’ album from Alan Vega & Marc Hurtado.
Marc Hurtado, had already met Alan Vega and Lydia Lunch on his Etant Donnés ‘RE-UP’ album in 1999 and formed the project My Lover The Killer in 2013 with Lydia Lunch, with whom they recorded an album and performed on stage.
Since 2014 Lydia Lunch and Marc Hurtado have joined forces performong Suicide and Alan Vega songs... a kind of sonic "Blitzkrieg" and visual shamanic ceremony, where both artists burn their souls in the volcanic heart of the music of Suicide and Alan Vega.
