LYDIA LUNCH & MARC HURTADO ( Suicide/Alan Vega ) // Liz Lamere // DJ BATPLANET // Revolver

Lydia Lunch has crossed paths with Alan Vega and Martin Rev of Suicide  upon arrival in New York at age 16, late 70 SUICIDE The first show of which she attended was a real shock, a revelation on a new form of  a concert, a total show, theatrical, free, violent.  Since then, a close relationship, as much artistic than friendly, united them , Lydia Lunch  performed on stage and on a  record "Frankie Teardrop"  by Suicide  and she sang a duet with Alan Vega in the album  SNIPER  by Alan Vega and Marc Hurtado in 2010.

Since 2014 Lydia Lunch and Marc Hurtado join forces for this event around Suicide and Alan Vega songs, it will be a kind of sonic "Blitzkrieg"  and a visual shamanic ceremony, where both artists  will burn their souls in the volcanic heart of the music of  Suicide and Alan Vega.
