Get excited, because everyone’s favorite shirtless stage diver, Iggy Pop, is set to make a the comeback with his band, Iggy and the Stooges, we’ve all been waiting for on April 30th! The record will feature Iggy Pop joined by James Williamson (guitar,) Scott “Rock Action” Asheton (drummer,) and Mike Watt on bass, who is filling in for the late Ron Asheton. When asked about the record, Iggy said:
“My motivation in making any record with the group at this point is no longer personal. It’s just a pig-headed fucking thing I have that a real fucking group when they’re an older group they also make fucking records. They don’t just go and twiddle around on stage to make a bunch of fucking money…”
…Well put. You can check out the bizarre trailer for the album below. Now, just one thing…is it April yet?!
