Iggy Pop News

The video stars an unrecognizable ALA.NI in special-effects makeup and prosthetics as “Le Diplomate”. ALA.NI originally approached Iggy Pop after he spun her songs from her 2017 debut album You & I on his BBC 6 Music show. Watch the music video for their collaboration now!

I took a second look at OLD SOULS. I’m glad I went. I would say about 80% of the show was the same as it was at Don’t Tell Mama. But with new songs, the new configuration of the band, and being in a room that is designed for rock and roll, OLD SOULS  was a very different experience. Everything about the show was tighter, more in the groove, more amped up, and a more authentic representation of Chinnock & Harris. The two men have different approaches to classic rock. Jared Chinnock is a more bombastic performer whereas Evan Buckley Harris is more laid back. In their Don’t Tell Mama show, the difference in their styles was obvious in some discrepancies in phrasing. In this new incarnation of the show, they seem to have met each other in the middle. Chinnock has found a more lyrical quality in his stratospheric tenor and Harris has found places to let loose and wail. They have found their voice as a group.

A collection of memories of a life lived loud. From his early days growing up in the suburbs of Washington, DC, to hitting the road at the age of 18, and all the music that followed, Dave Grohl draws from his upcoming memoir for two special evenings of storytelling at The Ford. In his own words, Dave writes: 

Rodrigo, who has worked with names like Miranda, Cansei de Ser Sexy, Céu, Tom Zé, Nação Zumbi, Franz Ferdinand and Iggy Pop, is a strong ally in this new phase of his career.

Chinnock and Harris are a study in contrasts. Jared Chinnock is a small, wiry, blond, tenor, guitar player with a Welsh accent. His style is percussive and dramatic. Evan Buckley Harris is a tall, dark-haired, baritone pianist. His style is more lyrical and laid-back. But for all their differences, their voices blend beautifully. It was a pleasure to hear them harmonize.  They also clearly enjoy playing together. Their onstage chemistry is very fraternal.

New York City guitarist, singer and songwriter Steve Conte has found the way back to center stage with his first solo album in five years, the attitude-infused Bronx Cheer, releasing Friday, November 5 on Wicked Cool Records.

From the motor-revving excitement of “Recipe For Disaster” to the dark noir slink of “Stop Iggy Pop” to the majestic disco of “All I Can See Is The Face of Bruce Lee” to the machine-gun punkish adrenaline rush of “Hi, I Like You,” the album is an excursion into Josie’s ultra-creative and hyperactive mind.

If you’re new to The Clockworks, then ‘Live At The Rio’ (filmed at The Rio in Dalston) is the perfect introduction. McGregor exudes an unorthodox charisma with his intense delivery and observational lyricism.

Grateful Deadication was announced last month with the video for a transcendent version of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter’s “Loser,” featuring Grateful Dead co-founder Bob Weir, alongside Bettye LaVette and Weir’s Wolf Bros bandmates Don Was, Jay Lane, Jeff Chimenti, and Greg Leisz.

When the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a standstill early last year, Sam had just embarked on tour in Europe.

Since its release two weeks ago, '2 Wrecked 2 Care' has been picked up by Flood, Ghettoblaster Dork, DIY, Clash and others.

Grateful Deadication was announced earlier this month with the video for a transcendent version of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter’s “Loser.”

Live, CMAT’s just announced her biggest shows to date for next year - The Academy, Dublin on March 11.

A Liverpool band with big ambitions and an even bigger sound, the trio of Gaz Wilcox (ex-Bribes), Carl Rooney and Sonny Winder-Rodgers are confirmed to be releasing their debut EP with the label later this year. 

In a further homage to Iggy, the B-side features The Lovely Eggs own take on ‘Dum Dum Boys’ from Iggy’s defining 1977 album ‘The Idiot’.

Furthering the conversation, Alice tells Joe how once David Bowie was going to do a tour where he played only new stuff and none of the hits. Alice exclaims “Are you crazy? That’s just a stupidest idea I have ever heard!” True story. You gotta give play the hits.

Boy George is an English singer, songwriter, DJ, fashion designer, photographer and record producer. He is the lead singer of the pop band Culture Club.

New single “Dizzy” finds the Stockholm band delivering a track definitive of its title. Recalling the hallucinogenic venturings of Spacemen 3 to Tame Impala to Pink Floyd, it’s a dose of highly medicated post-rock with trippy, transient side effects and woozy temporal shifts aplenty.

It will also be published in UK & Commonwealth (Simon & Schuster), Finland (Bazar), Germany (Ullstein), Holland (A.W. Bruna), and Italy (Rizzoli).

The album comes in just under twelve months following June 2020’s magnificent, UK chart-topping On Sunset.
