Tickets: $12.95 in advance, $14.95 at the door. The Armadillos will open the show at 10 p.m. ![]() Iggy Pop will perform tonight at Lupo’s, Lehigh Shopping Center, Bethlehem. “A quiet one - I WANNA MAKE A QUIET ONE,” he said quite loudly. “I’d like to make a really good, full record that was of quality … that could make you feel something, without …” So it shouldn’t be too surprising if Iggy Pop’s next move is yet another departure. “I think what separates the men from the old boys at this stage,” Pop said, commenting on his varied agenda, “is the ability to go and do other things that’ll keep you growing, keep you fresh.” The core of it is romantic and sad, because it’s a sad film, which is probably why it’s not out in America, dude!”Īlong with the soundtrack, Pop recently completed a contribution to an Edgar Allan Poe tribute disc, covered a Louis Armstrong song, dueted with Francois Hardy on the standard “I’ll Be Seeing You,” as well as put in an appearance as an alien on an upcoming episode of “Star Trek: Deep Space 9.” “Everything’s in it, from circus music to blues. The film, which is about a Native American who kills himself in a snuff movie to make money for his family (“Not exactly the date movie of next summer!” Pop said), is his first attempt at a soundtrack. On the subject of theatrics, Pop, who has been a bit player in numerous films (including “The Color Of Money,” “Cry Baby” and “Dead Man”) turned the tables earlier this year by scoring Johnny Depp’s most recent directorial effort, “Brave,” which has yet to get American distribution. … People say he copped stuff from Alice Cooper, but quite frankly, this had a lot more punch and was less goofy.” I can’t think of anybody who’s done a theatrical show better. “I went to see him live, and it was an unusually high quality show. On another, it definitely won’t.”Īs for sensationalist Marilyn Manson, no stranger to the edge of a self-wielded broken bottle himself, Pop had words of approval. It’s good, and at a certain level it’ll satisfy you. They’re playing a kind of pop music that uses a punk structure, and the stuff falls somewhere in between. Each one climbed into bed from a different side. “I think what you’ve seen happen is a meeting of the two. Though many can - and do - claim an indirect inspiration from The Stooges’ early-’70s proto-punk assault, Pop was quick to draw the line between anarchic frustration and heavy rotation. ![]() It’s just such a depth of eclecticism that seems to be missing from the often glib and insubstantial music coming from modern neo-punkers that have broken through to mainstream acceptance. So you bring things - hopefully your wit, and what you’re able to learn from the other arts and life in general - to bear on what you’re doing.” “And a lot of the lyrics, which were revolutionary for the time, were coming from reading people like William S. On the first Stooges album there were sleigh bells on ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog.’ I had a free-jazz sax player on (the album) ‘Funhouse’ and was using a celesta on ‘Raw Power’ (Pop recently remixed the latter classic LP, filling out the thin, trebly, David Bowie-produced version to be ‘more audible, especially to the average American music fan’). “Since I started playing music, I always tried to bring a helluva a lot of s- that wasn’t in rock ‘n’ roll into it. Though many people’s image of Iggy Stooge is of the ’70s shock-rocker cutting his chest with glass and smearing his body with peanut butter on national TV, Pop pointed out that his formula for sustaining artistic interest in what is essentially a teen-age idiom began early. … As I’ve gone on and lived longer, I don’t lead what people would call a ‘rockin’ ‘ life,’ which is, frankly, just … dumb, and I have no interest in it.” “That’s all I went on for a very long time.
