May 8, 2001 – Iggy Pop, the undisputed godfather of punk, is slated to release another blistering sonic assault in July. The CD titled Beat 'Em Up is a return to form for the ageless Pop, whose last release was 1999's Avenue B.

Iggy produced Beat 'Em Up, with engineer Danny Kader. Whitey Kirst (guitar), Alex Kirst (drums), Pete Marshall (guitar) and Lloyd "Mooseman" Roberts (bass) join Iggy on the CD. Tragically, Mooseman, formerly of Body Count, was murdered in a drive-by shooting this past winter. Pete Marshall will take over bass duties for Iggy's upcoming live dates.

Following a handful of U.S. dates this spring, Iggy will play several European festivals (see below), before returning to the U.S. to tour. Dates and cities for that tour TBA.
