Watch a Cool Interview with Alan Vega of the Seminal Band Suicide
After Iggy Pop, Suicide were the first true punks. Beginning in the early ’70s Alan Vega and Martin Rev, heavily influenced by the Velvets and Silver Apples, created a brand new, post-apocalyptic electronic sound that pissed off everyone that heard it. No drums. Just Martin’s synthesizer and Alan’s gloomy, Elvis-like mantras. Nothing would ever be the same after that.
Watch Vega discuss the origins and more in the fascinating and highly entertaining video interview above.
