That new Death Valley Girls track is so ill it gives me chills. As I hit play on my new songs playlist, without even looking, I knew it was Death Valley Girls. You can recognize Bonnie Bloomgarden’s gritty-sweet vocals from a mile away. “Disaster (Is What We’re After)” is the lead single off Death Valley […]

Looking around at all of the handkerchief covered faces in the crowd, it seemed as if a train robbery themed flash mob might break out at any moment. Rarely can a bandana be considered a useful accessory, but when Desert Daze rolls around, the thin, square pieces of cloth becomes an absolute necessity. The three-day […]

Now this is something to get excited about. Iggy and the Stooges are playing the Hollywood Palladium on Wednesday, September 7, 2011. From Coachella in 03′ to the Wiltern in 07′, we’ve seen the legendary punk icon handle the stage with that same raw power that sparked his persona in the late 60s. Even at […]

“Preliminaires” by Iggy Pop – It’s funny to hear this crazy godfather of punk go slow-mo, sounds like a bad heroin overdose. Naw, but really, Iggy and The Stooges have always been one of my favorite bands, much respect to Iggy, but I’m not too keen on this album. I like “Je sais que tu […]

I’ll spare a comparo because they’ve all been hog-tied to the bumper of a rusty old Ford pickup and dragged through the […]

Well this is a sight o see! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Iggy, but does Swiftcover car inurance know Iggy’s insane punk as I don’t give a fuck history? If so, more power to them! They decided to use the infamous Iggy Pop as their cover boy, the new face of Swiftcover. Don’t you […]

Who dare mess with Iggy and The Stooges! Apparently some dumb fucks in Canada stole a bunch of equipment from not only one of my favorite rockers, but also legendary father’s of punk. These guys are rad and still put on an amazing show after all these years! Hope they find the loosers and hang […]
