IGGY & THE STOOGES ADDED TO 5TH ANNUAL VOODOO MUSIC EXPERIENCE LINE-UP!
Also Just Announced - Cancellation of The Donnas from Voodoo line-up
NEW ORLEANS, LA: Rehage Entertainment, Inc. is pleased to announce Iggy & The Stooges have joined the 5th Annual Voodoo Musicâ Experience line-up this Halloween in New Orleans. Join these rock 'n' roll legends as they take the Voodoo stage on Saturday, November 1, and show fans why they have transcended for more than four decades.
A true elder statesman of rock 'n' roll, legendary Iggy Pop began his musical career in the 60's and has survived the '70s, '80s, '90s and beyond. It is not enough that his early days in The Stooges virtually single-handedly godfathered punk rock, garage rock and American heavy metal more than three decades ago, or that Iggy Pop went on to conquer Europe and the far East as a headlining phenomenon in the '90s. Even today, Iggy Pop's energy, nerve, and charisma allow him to fill stadiums around the world and indicates that the specter of Iggy Pop is a far more universal force in rock than many suspect.
The reunion of original founding Stooges members Iggy Pop, and brothers Ron Asheton (guitar and bass) and Scott Asheton (drums) is celebrated with four newly recorded tracks on Skull Ring, Iggy's seventh album on Virgin Records. Although Skull Ring features fresh collaborations with mega-platinum hitmakers Green Day ("Private Hell," "Supermarket") and Canadian punk-pop hipsters Sum 41 ("Little Know It All," the first single from the new album), the majority of the new tracks were recorded with Iggy's hard-working band the Trolls.
Rehage Entertainment, Inc. has also just announced the cancellation of The Donnas. The all-female teenage garage rock band has cancelled its fall tour as a result of the drummer's injured wrist.
