IGGY POP

at Teatro Arcimboldi Milano – on July 17, 2023

 

“A lot of what I did was: If you’re not gonna do it, I’ll do it for ya, I’ll do it first.”

There’s a reason why many consider Iggy Pop the godfather of punk – every single punk band of the past and present has either knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from him and his late -’60s/early-’70s band, The Stooges.

Widely acknowledged as one of the most dynamic stage performers of all time, Iggy Pop pre-figured both ‘70s punk and ‘90s grunge and has built a legendary career filled with both critical acclaim and fanatic cult success. Many say you should put seeing Iggy rock out on one’s “must see” list – his fans of all generations are the first to testify to that.

There are never-ending migrations back to the Stooges three seminal LPs, starting with the classic self-titled debut of 1969, The Stooges, 1970’s Funhouse and 1973’s Raw Power, while some of Iggy’s iconic solo albums including Lust For Life, The Idiot, New Values, Zombie Birdhouse, Blah Blah Blah, Brick by Brick, American Caesar, Skull Ring, Preliminaires and Apres, along with many featurings and cooperations, have cemented his status as a true music innovator. First two of his solo albums were co-written and produced by David Bowie – collaboration widely discussed as one of the most epic musical alliances.

In 2010, Iggy and the Stooges were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 2020 Iggy received a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award. In April 2022 Iggy was also awarded one of the most prestigious European accolades: Polar Music Prize.

Iggy made a welcome solo return in 2016 with his Post Pop Depression album which was nominated for a Grammy Award in “Best Alternative Music Album” category. A documentary American Valhalla on the making of the album and the subsequent tour hit movie theatres in 2017.

In January 2023 Iggy introduced to the world “EVERY LOSER” which is the first album to be released via the recently announced partnership between Atlantic Records and Gold Tooth Records, the new label founded by the album’s GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum producer, Andrew Watt. The result is 11 songs by the man who refused to go gently into that good night on Free, and is once again charging fearlessly at life itself. Featuring a murderers’ row of modern day rock icons including Iggy Pop & The Losers lineup of Andrew Watt, Duff McKagan and Chad Smith with contributions from Eric Avery, Travis Barker, Chris Chaney, Stone Gossard, Taylor Hawkins, Josh Klinghoffer and Dave Navarro.

Pop continues to host his popular weekly radio show “Iggy Confidential” on BBC 6 Music and – with what seems to be his mission from the very beginning of his career – introduces new music to open-minded listeners.
