.- In 1978, the adversarial New York duo Suicide played a show in Boston, opening for the Cars, local heroes whod crossed over into pop success. Suicide performed a set of assaultive and static electronic music, and the unhappy audience demonstrated its distaste by throwing ashtrays, some of which hit singer Alan Vega. But Vega and his bandmate, Martin Rev, had recently finished European tours opening for the Clash and Elvis Costello during which they caused a literal riot in Belgium. (It was later documented on a live recording, 23 Minutes Over Brussels, named for the length of Suicides set before the gendarmes were summoned.)
