Lydia Lunch & Marc Hurtado play the songs of Suicide and Alan Vega

On 16 July 2026 at 7:00 pm at MOTH Club, London, Lydia Lunch and Marc Hurtado perform the songs of Suicide and Alan Vega.

Lydia Lunch crossed paths with Alan Vega and Martin Rev of Suicide upon arriving in New York at age 16 in the late 1970s. The first Suicide show she attended was a shock, a revelation of a new form of concert, theatrical and free. Since then, an artistic and friendly relationship united them. Lunch performed "Frankie Teardrop" 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 Étant Donnés’ album Re-Up in 1999. He formed the project My Lover the Killer in 2013 with Lydia Lunch, with whom he recorded an album and played on stage.

Since 2014, Lydia Lunch and Marc Hurtado have joined forces for performances around the songs of Suicide and Alan Vega. Their set is presented with the film Infinite Dreamers, directed by Marc Hurtado and dedicated to Alan Vega and Martin Rev.
