She formed a lifelong bond with the pair, often joining them on-stage to perform the song &lsquo;Frankie Teardrop&rsquo; and recording a duet as part of Vega&rsquo;s solo album <em>Sniper</em>. Since <a href="https://musicfeeds.com.au/news/suicides-alan-vega-died-aged-78/">Vega&rsquo;s passing in 2016</a>, Lunch has performed several Suicide tribute shows, most often with Marc Hurtado.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Having previously never performed the show in Australia, Lydia surprised fans on a night off in Melbourne during her 2024 Spoken Word tour with an impromptu appearance at the Tote. It sold out in 3 days so she decided to bring it back for Vega&rsquo;s anniversary in 2026.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Passionate, sexual, confrontational and bold, Lunch, Vega and Rev are all cut from the same grimy cloth of 1970s New York. This show is more than a tribute. It&rsquo;s an offering.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Wednesday June 24- Ed Castle, Adelaide</span></strong></p><p><br></p>
