Lydia Lunch has crossed paths with Alan Vega and Martin Rev of Suicide upon arrival in New York at age 16, in the late &#39;70s. The first Suicide show she attended was a real shock - a revelation of a new form of concert: a total show, theatrical, free, violent. Since then, a close relationship, as much artistic as friendship, has united them. Lydia Lunch performed on &quot;Frankie Teardrop&quot; by Suicide on stage and on record, and she sang a duet with Alan Vega on the album SNIPER by Alan Vega and Marc Hurtado in 2010.Marc Hurtado, had already met Alan Vega and Lydia Lunch on his Etant Donnés RE-UP album &quot;Be&quot; in 1999 and he formed the project My Lover The Killer in 2013 with Lydia Lunch, with whom they recorded an album and played on stage.Since 2014, Lydia Lunch and Marc Hurtado have joined forces for events based around Suicide and Alan Vega songs. It will be a kind of sonic &quot;Blitzkrieg&quot; and a visual shamanic ceremony, where both artists will burn their souls in the volcanic heart of the music of Suicide and Alan Vega.Lydia Lunch is a nomadic gypsy in eternal metamorphosis that almost lost her life for her art dozens of times in 35 years.
