Lydia Lunch first came into contact with Alan Vega and Martin Rev of the band Suicide when she arrived in New York at the age of 16 in the late 70s. The first Suicide concert she attended was a real shock to her, a revelation of a new form of concert, a total show, theatrical, free, and violent. Since then, she has had a very close relationship with them, both artistically and as friends. Lydia Lunch performed on stage and recorded the song 'Frankie Teardrop' with Suicide, and in 2010 she sang a duet with Alan Vega on the album 'SNIPER' by Alan Vega and Marc Hurtado.
