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.
