Set for the first week of July in Kent, England, Hop Farm Fest aims for a "return to the basics," where legends of past and present play amidst 30,000 festival-loving folks who all paid one universal price. As the festival's website puts it, there's no sponsorship, no branding, no VIP attitude. If it sounds too good to be true that's because it probably is, but the Hop Farm Fest has pushed this Utopian idea for the past three summers and will again in 2011. This year's festivities, set for July 1st and 2nd, will feature a [...]
Forget Suede reuniting, this year's Hop Farm Festival now boasts Suedehead. Morrissey is to headline Saturday night of this year's event. If your jaw weren't already on the floor, the likes of Velvet Underground groaner Lou Reed , senior gyrator and cronies Iggy & The Stooges and bona fide indie goddess Patti Smith are all set for the 4th annual bash, taking place over the weekend of 1st and 2nd July. Other new additions include prime Slough gritpop from young hopefuls Brother , the rejuvenated [...]
As cliched as it may be, the phrase "when it rains, it pours" can be fairly accurate some of the time. For instance, when it comes to recent developments of Iggy & The Stooges , a veritable hurricane has formed. As previously reported, the band looked to capture their headlining performance at last year's ATP New York by soliciting six fans to serve as cameramen . On April 5th, MVD Entertainment Group will release the complementing 180-gram vinyl version of Raw Power Live: In the Hands of the Fans . The eight-track effort documents [...]
With great Power comes great responsibility.

The legendary guitarist for Iggy and the Stooges talks Kill City, Raw Power, and the band's seminal influence.
Iggy´s doin´ fine. He´s got his tight pants on, and he´s spoiling for a fight. But what´s up with his jacket? Those Naughty Lumps (´78) tell all. "Iggy Pop´s jacket, could it be the key? Will Iggy Pop's jacket make a cult out of me?" Iggy & The Stooges - Tight Pants MP3 Those Naughty Lumps - Iggy Pop´s Jacket MP3
Earlier this year we got our first taste of what to expect from the upcoming Jack White produced album from the Queen Of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson - courtesy of a double A-side single. Now, we've gotten the details about the duo's full-length called The Party Ain't Over, which will hit stores on January 25 of next year. The 11-track all covers album, which will be Ms. Jackson's first set of new material in seven years, features the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer tackling songs from Bob Dylan, Jimmie Rodgers and Amy Winehouse, while [...]
This release has been out since last year but I finally got around to picking up a copy. I've bought more than enough dodgy Stooges releases over the last twenty year so I was hesitant to pick up yet another one. Now that I've spent some time with this set, the key question that I'll try to answer with this review is whether both the casual Stooges fan and the Stooges/Iggy collector would find value in this 4-disc collection. You have to wonder what The Stooges were thinking (which may be an oxymoron) - roughly a [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours All Tomorrow's Parties New York returned to Kutsher's Resort in the Catskill Mountains this weekend, beginning with "Don't Look Back," a full day of bands tackling their classic albums from start to finish. Australian swamp-garage godfathers the Scientists made their first-ever U.S. appearance to showcase their seminal self-titled album and Mudhoney raised the old flannel flag, tearing through the grunge masterpiece 'Superfuzz Bigmuff (and Early Singles).' Then it was Iggy 's turn. Using [...]

Para celebrar como se debe el viernes 13, Morrissey compartió una lista de sus 13 discos favoritos, la cuál se publicó en la página The Quietus . Y bueno, aunque muchos aseguran que es una broma, la verdad es que esta web goza de gran credibilidad. Así que pues, toma nota, junta varo para comprarlos en Amazon o de plano, consigue una cuenta de Rapidshare para sentirte como "The Last of the famous International Playboys", es decir, cual Morrissey con sus discos preferidos. 1.

This is almost completely removed from Iggy Pop's show but did anyone else see his missus? Seemed like a lovely lady. Outstanding... eyes. Click here to see the rest of our coverage of Sonisphere Festival 2010.
Alright let’s be honest folks Iggy Pop isn’t what you’d call a t-shirt man. Hell, he’s not even a clothes man! In fact, the 63-year-old rock star has spent the majority of his career parading around half naked in public just because he felt like it. And with that in mind, it’s both hilarious and ironic that the punk icon has just announced that he’s officially going into the t-shirt business. No, seriously. Pop recently made and appearance at Barney’s Co-Op in New York to promote the new line dubbed Archive 1887 . He later [...]

Needless to say, it's a pretty big deal, so much so in fact that the band will [...]
