Now here’s an announcement we never thought we’d make!

Punk legend, **Iggy Pop**‘s parrot, **Biggy Pop**, has done a deep dive into the **Hoodoo Gurus**’ catalogue today and has posted a video of himself on **[Instagram](https://facebook.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=50c508a822fbfa87e526cc369&id=f881aa8629&e=712e79efd9)** gyrating to *Where Nowhere Is* (from the **Gurus**‘ 1987 album, ***Blow Your Cool***) while dad Iggy looks on.

Iggy often posts videos of Biggy dancing to rock’n’roll songs and today he chose to get down to  the **Gurus**. It’s all to help next week’s **Wild Aid** concert to raise money for **Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital**. Iggy and Biggy are both patrons of the Hospital and the **Hoodoo Gurus**will be performing on **Saturday, 27 September at The Green Room** (on the Bluesfest site) along with seven-time Grammy winner **Toni Childs** and Brisbane indie legends, **Screamfeeder**. Tickets are available now through **Moshtix**.
