𝗟𝘆𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 is a nomadic gypsy in eternal metamorphosis that almost lost her life for her art dozens of times in 35 years. Musician, writer, photographer and performance artist, she appeared in the New York music scene in 1977 with the project founder No Wave, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. In search of inspiration and cooperation she worked with Karen Finley, Hubert Selby Jr, Nick Cave, William Burroughs or Virginie Despentes, she lived in New York, Brooklyn, New Orleans, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, London. She has visited 656 cities to perform on stage for concerts, spoken word, installations in clubs, theaters and museums.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰 𝗛𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗱𝗼 is a musician, performer, poet, painter, producer and filmmaker who co-founded the French duo Etant Donnés with his brother Eric in 1977. He has made more than 20 albums and concerts around the world in places like Kitchen (New York), the Fondation Cartier (Paris), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Sonar Festival (Barcelona), the Atonal Festival (Berlin), or Transmusicales (Rennes). Apart from this duo and solo project Sol Ixent, he has collaborated with many cult figures including Alan Vega, Genesis P.Orridge, Michael Gira (Swans), Gabi Delgado (DAF), Craig Walker (Archive) , Pascal Comelade, Z'ev, Philippe Grandrieux, Christophe, Saba Komossa (Delkom), Mark Cunningham (MARS), Bachir Attar and the Master Musicians of Jajouka.

𝗟𝘆𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 has crossed paths with 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗩𝗲𝗴𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘃 when she arrived in New York aged 16 in the late 70s. She saw them perform as 𝗦𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 a collision of avant-garde performance art and minimalistic rock, that pre-dated punk by a number of years. Lunch has since described the performance as "a total show, theatrical, free, violent". Since that initial meeting Lunch formed an enduring friendship and a creative partnership with Vega and Rev, performing on stage with Suicide and providing additional vocals on the legendary track "Frankie Teardrop" which was part of the Suicide debut album, as well as duetting with Vega on "Prison Sacrifice" which featured on the 2010 "Sniper" album from Alan Vega & Marc Hurtado.

Since 2014 Lydia Lunch and Marc Hurtado join forces for this event around Suicide and Alan Vega songs... a kind of sonic "Blitzkrieg" and a visual shamanic ceremony, where both artists will burn their souls in the volcanic heart of the music of Suicide and Alan Vega.
