I first saw Suicide at CBGS's quite by accident that they were the warm up... maybe for Richard Hell (and the Void Oids) I was walking in the back hall and this guy bouncing fervently from one wall to the next, smashed into me, didn't notice and hurled himself into the other wall.... I was just like ooookay.... don't drive home buddy.... and next thing you know he hurled himself onto the stage and the noise was so intense everyone rushed to the back of the place... well, that would be front... lots of people went outside and I grabbed a front table LOL  If you read reviews of the shows you know there was nothing like them and I bought their records from then on.  That night alone could probably be why my ear exploded on a flight out of LAX 20 years later....
here are some album notes off of Suicide's release 6 years earlier... Suicide: Martin Rev, Allen Vega.Suicide: Alan Vega (vocals); Martin Rev (synthesizer)..Suicide: Alan Vega (vocals); Martin Rev (keyboards).Seven years after the duo's inception, Suicide's debut album finally sneaked out in 1977 on the coat tails of the nascent New York punk scene. If its aim had been to confuse, startle, or repulse, SUICIDE succeeded in spades. By the same token, if a part-time sculptor and avant-garde jazz musician form a two-chord synthesizer duo and call it Suicide, commercial considerations are presumably low on their list of priorities. SUICIDE was a record destined to have future journalists reaching for words like "seminal". Synth duos start here.SUICIDE's bleak, one-act plays of violence and sexual deviance, and that lo-fi monotone punctuated by sleazy groans and horrifying screams, still induce nervous tension despite the passing years. To hear Alan Vega, an Elvis caricature out of time, crooning "Girl" is unsettling enough. When he acts out the desperation of "Frankie Teardrop" over the strictly controlled minimalism of Martin Rev's grinding keyboard and time-bomb rhythm, you're guaranteed a listening experience quite unlike any other.
