LYDIA LUNCH AND MARC HURTADO Perform the music of Alan Vega & Suicide Marc Hurtado and Lydia Lunch have been touring Europe with their tribute to the music of Alan Vega & Suicide for the past few years and are thrilled to bring it to Canada for the first time in Feb 2025. Lydia Lunch is passionate, confrontational and bold. Whether attacking the patriarchy and their pornographic war mongering, turning the sexual into the political or whispering a love song to the broken hearted, her fierce energy and rapid fire delivery lend testament to her warrior nature. Queen of No Wave, muse of The Cinema of Transgression, writer, musician, poet, spoken word artist and photographer, she has released too many musical projects to tally, has been on tour for decades, working with such luminaries as Rowland S Howard, Thurston Moore, Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Karen Finley, Jerry Stahl, The Last Poets, and Hubert Selby JR. She has published dozens of articles, half a dozen books translated into 9 languages, appeared in numerous documentaries, conducted workshops, taught at Universities including The San Francisco Art Institute and simply refuses to just shut up. Marc Hurtado is a musician, performer, poet, painter, producer and filmmaker who co-founded the French duo ETANT DONNES with his brother Eric in 1977. He has made more than 20 albums including the LP SNIPER with ALAN VEGA, which Lydia also appears on. He has collaborated with such luminaries as Alan Vega, Genesis P.Orridge, Michael Gira (Swans), Gabi Delgado (DAF), Craig Walker ( Archive) , Z'ev, Mark Cunningham (MARS), Bachir Attar and the Master Musicians of Jajouka. His films were screened in Beaubourg Paris , FID Marseille, the French Cinematheque in Paris, the Locarno Film Festival, BAFICI Festival Buenos Aires, Mostra de Valencia and recently at the MoMA in New York, which also acquired his latest feature film "Jajouka, something good comes to you" for their collection.
