IGGY POP

Iggy Pop and Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino have teamed up for a brand new track featured on vamp movie "True Blood". The unlikely, but still amazing pair are singing on the song titled "Let's Boot and Rally," a track written for the HBO vampire drama. Apparently it was written by the show's music supervisor himself Gary Calamar along songwriter James Combs.

"Iggy Pop, or should I say Iggy's people, had reached out to me saying he was a True Blood fan and if any opportunities come up, to please keep Iggy in mind," Calamar, also a DJ at Santa Monica's KCRW, wrote on the radio station's blog. "We sent Iggy the demo of 'LB&R'. He loved it and said sign me up." He also shared about the song : "As many songwriters say, 'the song just wrote itself', 'I was just a vessel'. That's what happened, kinda."

With the rock veteran attached, Cosentino -- in the midst of a sophomore album release and her Urban Outfitters fashion line -- "jumped at the chance to sing with Mr. Pop." It's not the first big get for the show: artists from Snoop Dogg to Nick Lowe have contributed original material and covers to the series' numerous soundtracks.

Premiered on KCRW on July 5th, "Let's Boot and Rally" will appear on Sunday, July 8's "True Blood" episode. Listen to the track in here.
