The other half of the Suicide Brothers was none other than Martin Reverby more commonly known as Martin Rev. Born in uptown NYC & raised in the Bronx, Martin was involved in the mid-to-late 60s Greenwich Village, NYC scene. Martin & Alan Vega started working on experimental improv music around 1967. When Martin's avantgarde jazz band Reverend B called it quits in the mid 70s, Martin & Alan (Bermowitz) Vega formed the duo Suicide.
These are cassette recordings Martin made between 1973 - 1985 which were the years slightly prior to Suicide self-titled up until just before Ghost Riders release.

DeleteHi Nate, thanks for the Martin Rev/ Suicide goodies. Always loved that first Suicide album in particular. Used to work in a record shop in Cambridge UK, where we'd play Frankie Teardrop at the end of the day to discourage any browsers from outstaying their welcome as we all wanted to go home or to the pub. Worked like a charm, as did the Melvins...
DeleteChasing out the slackers with the Melvins...excellent. Thanks for the story, Nick.
