Quote:Iggy Pop will reunite with the Stooges for the first time in 28 years on the second night of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, set for April 26-27 at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, Calif. Pop will be backed by original Stooges Ron Asheton on guitar and Scott Asheton on drums, with rock veteran Mike Watt filling on bass for David Alexander, who died in 1975.
Long-suffering Stooges fans needn’t worry, as the reunion is not limited to the Coachella appearance. The band has also recorded four new songs together, which are set for inclusion on Pop’s upcoming Virgin album. The as-yet-untitled set, which also features Green Day and Pop’s band the Trolls, is due out sometime this summer.
hey, that’s great to hear, I’d really love to see a show of them, almost as much as I’d like to see the ‘other’ Stooges project!
And how cool that Watt is a part of that outfit – he’s definitely a cool addition to Iggy, Asheton & Asheton
Gotta love that, J deserves some credit for this finally coming about
Definitely cool that Watt got the call, no doubt he’s thrilled :aliensmile:
MC5 just had a sort of reunion show in London, included Nick Royale, Dave Vanian & the singer from the cult as guest vocalists. It was more of a publicity type of show for their new sponsor though…levi’s.
