Rock’s friskiest couple Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox are back with a brand-new edition of their “Sunday Lunch” performance series. This time around, the King Crimson guitarist and the new wave singer deliver a lickin’ good version of the Iggy & The Stooges classic “Search and Destroy.”
Sporting matching mohawks, the married pair pay homage to the godfather of punk, Iggy Pop, with a playful rendition of the Raw Power tune. Robert plays the song’s iconic guitar licks while Toyah sings and dances seductively around her husband. It all culminates with Toyah slowly licking the side of Robert’s face.
The ever-youthful Robert and Toyah just celebrated their 78th and 66th birthdays on May 16th and May 18th, respectively. They’ve been entertaining fans with their “Sunday Lunch” series for four years now.
‘Search and Destroy” follows performances of blink-182’s “Dammit,” Beastie Boys’ “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party),” KISS’ “Lick It Up,” Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,” and J. Geils Band’s “Centerfold,” among other tunes.
Robert and Toyah are playing a number of UK shows throughout the summer and again in December, with tickets available here.
Meanwhile, an all-star supergroup comprised of classic King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, alongside guitar virtuoso Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danny Carey, will embark on a Fall 2024 North American tour celebrating the music of King Crimson. Tickets for that outing can be purchased here.
