9:30 AM		Alan Vega Sister Alan Vega Cubist Blues Light In The Attic 2015 From drowned in sound: "Alan Vega on the making of Cubist Blues, a one-off, totally improvised, semi-supergroup project that saw the Suicide frontman rattle off stream of consciousness vocals over a backing of twangy Fifties guitar blues jams from Big Star’s Alex Chilton, and musician/ producer Ben Vaughn over the course of two long, late-night sessions. The story goes that back in 1994, Vega and Vaughn were talking about doing something together as the two friends were in New York at the same time, so decided to meet up to play some blues in a smoky downtown studio space where Vega was recording a solo album. Vaughn brought his friend Chilton, just for the hell of it, despite Vega never having met him. They came together and produced ‘Fat City’, a hypnotic, driving psychobilly jam that basically hits the ground running and doesn’t stop for all its eight minutes."
