Alan Vega

Musician

Alan Vega (born Boruch Alan Bermowitz, 1938–2016) was an American singer and co-founder of the duo Suicide. He released solo albums spanning rockabilly-rooted songs, 1980s electronic productions and later abrasive experimental records.

Co-founder of Suicide with Martin Rev; born 1938, died 2016; noted for blending rockabilly influence with electronic and experimental approaches.

Alan Vega is presented in DeBaser reviews as an influential, uncompromising solo artist and co-founder of Suicide. Reviews trace his shifts from rockabilly-rooted solo work through 80s electronic productions to late abrasive, experimental records. The posthumous album IT is noted as a powerful final statement.

For:Fans of experimental electronic music, post-punk/synth-punk, rockabilly-influenced rock, and underground music critics.

 This guy, together with his old pal Martin Rev in Suicide, has influenced more musicians than Beethoven.
