On January 7, 2026– The Vega Vault Project and Sacred Bone Records released remastered versions of “Kung Foo Cowboy” and “Magdalena 83” as well as the unheard demo of “Kung Foo Cowboy” that will be available on Alan Vega Deluxe Edition!
“Alan was always reinventing himself. He was creating and refining his mastery of variation while maintaining his own unparalleled and identifiable aesthetic. Sonically, this album is more dynamic than his first, which is a minimalist masterpiece. Ditching drum machines for a live drummer, and enlisting a hard rock band to back him, ‘Collision Drive’ offered a different view of Vega’s artistic vision.” – Jared Artaud – Co-producer and creative director of The Vega Vault Project
“Alan’s music thrived on interpretation. He believed the meaning of his songs belonged to the listener. His lyrics painted emotional and conceptual landscapes but he resisted explaining them. He always wanted the listener to bring their own experiences, imaginations, and emotions into what listening to his music and words meant to them, and ultimately that openness is part of its power.” – Liz Lamere
The Vega Vault Project and Sacred Bones will be hosting listening events in Paris and Stockholm
January 23 – Riche Fenix, Stockholm, Sweden. 16h – 20h.
January 24 – Chair de Poule Bar, Paris, France. 19h – 1h.
