Lydia Lunch & Marc Hurtado - Music of Suicide (Alan Vega)

LYDIA LUNCH & MARC HURTADO perform the music of SUICIDE and ALAN VEGA **A Hush Hush/Café Kairo collaboration with Dead End** Afterparty: "Singles Night: The 7" Record Player Party" [Lydia Lunch is] an icon, a symbol of defiance in the face of radio friendly unit shifters, still nobody's fool and still no closer to being a corporate shill than she was at the beginning… Anyone expecting a set of Suicide covers [will be] at the wrong gig as Lydia and Marc deconstruct the music into thrilling new shapes in the spirit of the classic evolutionary New York duo… Suicide, an electronic duo (Martin Rev and Alan Vega) used the term "Punk" to describe their music as far back as 1970, though it had more in common musically with No Wave than any ex-R n B three chord wonders, more dissonance, more atonalism, more Avant Garde. -MK Benneth "Louder Than War" (2023)
