Had fun in Hollywood last week with #TheLastRockstars on their first US tour. I've seen all the members with their solo projects so it was amazing seeing them play together 😍

This review by #JohnRockwell in the #NewYorkTimes of #IggyPop's Oct 1977 show at #ThePalladium in NYC popped up in a search, and it's a rave for the show and a throwback to when performance was urgent and, for many, their only option.

The set was during the #LustForLife tour; I didn't see him live until Halloween in 1979 (I don't *think* I did, though the horsetail he wore on this tour sounds familiar, as I didn't really stay out late and skip school until '78).

Last night I was coincidentally watching some of their performances on this anniversary of the passing of #LuxInterior. Truly they were people for whom rock and roll was their only hope, their big show opening for #IggyPop at #ThePalladium in NYC on Halloween was especially unhinged and memorable.

This is a pretty neat "lost" interview with #PoisonIvyRorschach who isn't recognized nearly enough for her influence on culture, music and leading #TheCramps.
