We were amazed with both the quality and quantity (over 200!) of auditions that came in for the chance to play live with Iggy Pop via Orcon Broadband. Narrowing it down to just 8 was an extremely tough job, but together with the man himself we managed to do it. Without further ado, here are our super talented 8 band members...

Takumi Motokawa

Stephanie Engelbrecht

Charley Davenport

Ben Jurisich

Tia Beaufort

Miho Wada

Daniel Tate

Sam Logan

It looks like it is going to be a pretty incredible re-make of 'The Passenger' and not just a re-hash of the original. We are really excited about what is going to come out of this.

To all those awesome people who took the time to record an audition, thank you. There will be a little token of our appreciation on its way to you over the next couple of weeks.

If you haven't yet, take a few minutes to check out a selection of the super talented Kiwis that participated in the audition phase. The next step is that we are hooking up these 8 lucky musicians with Iggy himself, live via Orcon Broadband, this Friday. They will spend the day under Iggy's expert guidance laying down this brand new version of 'The Passenger'.
