Treasures from the archives of the late Suicide frontman Alan Vega and his widow, Liz Lamere, will come out in the year ahead. The first will be a solo album, Insurrection, that Vega recorded in the late Nineties, and its latest single, “Cyanide Soul,” sounds as unsettling as Suicide’s Seventies recordings. A mechanical rhythm propels its way through Vega’s and Lamere’s icy, synthy atmospheres as Vega whispers in a menacing way about cyanide. It’s just as eerie as “Mercy,” the first track to be released from Insurrection,...

“This little song [is] from Bruce Springsteen,” Suicide frontman Alan Vega tells a Paris audience in 1988. The audience, which has gathered to hear the duo’s minimalist electro-rock songs like “Ghost Rider,” promptly boos him. “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,” he retorts with his trademark New York snarl, “It’s our version of it. We’ll fuck it up. Don’t worry about it. ‘Born in the U.S.A.'” Then Vega’s partner, keyboardist Martin Rev, kicks into a melody that sounds nothing like the Boss’ epic riff, and...

Alan Vega, half of the epochal punk electronic music duo Suicide, died yesterday. He was one of the greats.

Songs dealt with psychotic killers and social unrest and love and optimism. “Dream, baby, […]...

French Pop/Electronica duo, Lola Dutronic, just got this nudie video for their single, "Whisper," banned from YouTube. I guess nudity and masturbation isn't allowed there... right.
Singer Lola Dee and musician Richard Citroen are more than mildly influence by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. They released their Ep, "Musique," with Marty Thau's (manager/producer of New York Dolls, and Suicide) Red Star label. Suicide's keyboardist Martin Rev co-wrote the song.
Check out the voyeuristic deluge, revived on vimeo. DeVito there is going to need a new pair of trousers.

M.I.A. was joined by Suicide's Martin Rev for a performance of 'Born Free' on yesterday's Late Show with David Letterman. Rev played live synthesiser on the song, the recorded version of which samples heavily from his own band's 1977 track 'Ghost Rider'. M.I.A. appeared on stage with Rev and a number of backing performers made up to look like her, wearing identical hairstyles, lipstick, sunglasses and outfits. (more)...
