Lydia Lunch
Performing the songs of Suicide & Alan Vega

Lunch first met Suicide — the duo of late vocalist Alan Vega and multi-instrumentalist Martin Rev — in the 1970s, after moving from Rochester to New York City as a teenager. She formed a lifelong bond with the pair, often joining them on stage to perform ‘Frankie Teardrop’, and later recording a duet for Vega’s solo album Sniper.

Since Vega’s passing in 2016, Lunch has performed several Suicide tribute shows, but has never brought them to New Zealand.
