Expect some regular head-banging heads-up on this! SPLIT SINGLE No.4 – ALAN VEGA (SUICIDE) feat THE VAGANT LOTS. Alan Vega has joined the The Vacant Lots, for a glorious 4th issue of the Fuzz Club Split Single Series. Vega is the man who transfigured the American dream of freedom into a mechanical nightmare. In the early 70s he formed the band Suicide with Martin Rev and together they tore apart the Rock & Roll band stereotype. Their legacy stretches out from underground music to mainstream, with Bruce Springsteen quoting them as a major influence and MIA sampling “Ghost Rider” for one of her hits. After a long silence, Vega is releasing the track “Nike Soldier”, included in the Fuzz Club Split Single No.4. The Vacant Lots, from Burlington, Vermont, formed in 2010. Pitchfork described their first single as “pared down sound, with all excesses fat deliciously shorn to the bone, allowing stone cold downer vibe to bludgeon the listener into a glorious, senseless stupor”. Their minimalist and primitive Rock & Roll blends the psychedelic rock template with a genuine Punk spirit and is combined with the use of synths and drum-machines. They will support Brian Jonestown Massacre’s UK tour and their debut LP will be out soon on Sonic Cathedral. The track from the Split Single is “Mad Mary Jones”. The Vacant Lots on Alan Vega: “Truly one of the most amazing experiences ever. He is 100% artist”. Alan Vega on Vacant Lots: “I'm ending, and you're beginning... It's about time Suicide finally caught on... I'm retired now... It's like down the torch now"
