Iggy Pop returning to Boston in April with new supergroup
His band includes Josh Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, and Dean Fertita of Queens of the Stone Age.
Stooges frontman and all-around rock ‘n’ roll legend Iggy Pop will be touring through Boston, and this time he’ll have a backing band of modern rock standouts.
Post Pop Depression is a new album from Iggy Pop and Josh Homme, who fronts the band Queens of the Stone Age and plays with Eagles of Death Metal; it comes out on March 18. After that, the two will hit the road, with a stop at the Orpheum Theatre on April 11.
Other musicians in the band will include Homme’s bandmates Troy Van Leeuwen and Dean Fertita (Fertita also plays in Jack White’s side-project The Dead Weather), Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, and multi-instrumentalist Matt Sweeney, a session player who has worked with everyone from Neil Diamond to Run the Jewels to the aforementioned Eagles of Death Metal.

Post Pop Depression will be Iggy Pop’s seventeenth post-Stooges album, two of which included contributions from good friend David Bowie. Iggy Pop was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 as a member of The Stooges.
