MORE2SCREEN AND EAGLE ROCK FILMS PRESENT LOS ANGELES PREMIERE OF

AMERICAN VALHALLA
FEATURING IGGY POP AND JOSHUA HOMME

~LAEMMLE THEATRES / AHRYA FINE ARTS~
~SUNDAY, JULY 9 AT 7:00PM~

American Valhalla -- featuring Iggy Pop and Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Joshua Homme -- will premiere at Laemmle Theatres / Ahrya Fine Arts in Los Angeles on Sunday, July 9 (7 PM). The 81-minute film screening will be followed by a Q&A with co-directors Homme and Andreas Neumann.

American Valhalla (which will be released theatrically in the US on July 11 via More2Screen / Eagle Rock Films) follows these two rock statesmen from the creation of Iggy’s latest studio album Post Pop Depression through the subsequent critically-acclaimed tour. Iggy and Homme invite the viewer into personal and creative moments, as they wrote and recorded in the Mojave desert, rehearsed, and presented these fiery new songs on stages around the world joined by Matt Helders (drummer, Arctic Monkeys) and Dean Fertita (bassist, Queens Of The Stone Age), with Troy Van Leeuwan (guitarist, Queens Of The Stone Age), and bassist/guitarist Matt Sweeney completing the live line-up.

This week, Billboard.com spoke with Homme and Neumann about the film, as well as premiered a clip in which Iggy describes the artistic style of himself and his bandmates, and the inspiration behind the new songs: http://bit.ly/2sB0Dnw

The film was recently premiered at the Sheffield Doc/Fest to rave reviews:

“…Everything underlines that this was a special, unique moment in the lives of all those who participated…Iggy Pop is so engaging. Telling tales of old friend David Bowie or diving headlong into an adoring crowd, he is like a grizzled, old prizefighter determined to prove that he still has a few rounds left in him and American Valhalla pays due homage to his seemingly indestructible spirit.”
