Suicide + The Vacant Lots + Pharmakon

You might not find a band more important to the art and music scenes of 1970s NYC than Suicide. The synth-and-drum-machine duo of Alan Vega and Martin Rev combined swaggering rock & roll vocals and ear-splitting noise (whether they've still got what it takes to shock audiences is another question). Pharmakon, the harrowing industrial-noise solo project of Margaret Chardiet, takes the opening slot.
