IGGY POP
at Northrop Auditorium

Legendary
Iggy Pop is currently on his “Post Pop Depression” tour. The singer is known for fronting Rock and Roll Hall of Famer
The Stooges, singing popular and cultural hits, such as "Search and Destroy" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog" (this song was extensively used for Guy Ritchie’s
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels).
Noveller will open the show. We previously caught the band in
May 2015 and wrote, “Noveller performed first on electric guitar, and played a 35 minute set. She was accompanied by Victoire on the opening song, and played solo after that. Though solo, it was hardly the sound of a single guitar. Noveller used and created loops to build complex multi-layered songs. Her music was accompanied by images, mostly abstract, projected on a screen at the back of the stage.”

Yuck
Friday: Here is Yuck at the Pitchfork Show. Great indie sound for most songs. They had to ruin it with a 5 min feedback frenzy. Always lose interest in that type of song. Been done too many times already.

YUCK
at 7th Street Entry
Monday, 04/04/16, 7:30pm ($15)
first-avenue.com
London’s garage-pop outfit
Yuck is back in the USA, this time promoting their third album
Stranger Things (Mamé Records). We previously caught them at SXSW in 2011 and loved their sound (except we said ‘yuck’ to the ‘feedback frenzy’). What did you expect from a band that is inspired by Pavement, MBV, and Sonic Youth?

X AMBASSADORS
at Myth
Monday, 04/04/16, 6:30pm ($21)
mythlive.com
From rags to riches,
X Ambassadors, went from club rejections to playing world stadium thanks to their perseverance, connections... and a great sound that landed their debut record on the top 10 album of the year.
The real secret? Singer Sam Harris simply put it as, “You work for the fans. That’s it.... Obviously the music has to come from a personal place … but at the end of the day, these fans are the ones that are doing everything for you.”
We caught the band early in
February 2015 and
August 2015 and wrote, “X Ambassadors took to the stage for their 40 min. set. The Ithaca, NY band actually has a local connection, as lead guitarist Noah Feldshuh spent most summers growing up, in nearby Prior Lake, and had many of his extended family in the audience.”
Supporting the band will be
Seinabo Sey and
Savoir Adore. We’ve seen the latter band several times, and wrote, “a so-called "fantasy pop" duo, consisting of Paul Hammer and Deidre Muro. Since the last time I saw the band, they've definitely refine their pop sound, with many of their new tracks containing very energetic catchy vocal melodies (particularly with "Bodies" and their set finale "Dreamers".)”

INTRONAUT
with The Ocean
at Skyway Theatre
Monday, 04/04/16, 5:30pm ($15)
skywaytheater.com
Los Angeles’ progressive metal band
Intronaut (featuring former members of
Anubis Rising,
Exhumed,
Uphill Battle, and
Impaled) is currently on tour
with Germany’s premier post-metal act The Ocean (a.k.a. The Ocean Collective). The Ocean recently released a split EP
Transcendental with Japanese instrumental shoegaze band
Mono
UPDATE: The Ocean is no longer on this tour.
Also on the bill
North and
Scale The Summit.
We previously saw Scale the Summit
in 2013 and wrote, “ Houston instrumental quartet Scale the Summit dazzled with a technically brilliant 45 min. of progressive jams, many culled from its 4th and latest effort,
The Migration (Prosthetic Records) with guitarist Chris Letchford leaving mouths agape in the crowd as they watched the technique on his headless 7-string guitar. Fans of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Dream Theater should actively seek out the band’s revelatory releases.”
This special tour is presented by Metal Injection.
