Iggy & The Stooges Hit Massey Hall

Mere days after having their van full of gear lifted from the streets of Montreal, Iggy & The Stooges bravely soldiered forward like the gallant garage rock darlings they are. Of course, Iggy Pop and friends are an ornery bunch at the best of times, so the missing ampage only added fuel to the band's already torrid stage show. Amazingly, the...

The Stooges — The Weirdness

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) March 13, 2007 8:33 pm
"Gimme Danger" is the title of both Iggy Pop's autobiography and a song from the last Stooges album, 1973's Raw Power. At the time that song came out, it could be strongly argued that there wasn't a more dangerous band around than The Stooges. But that was 34 years ago. Although still a consummate showman, the truly dangerous elements of...

Of course it would only be natural that Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Magnum would stop being a recluse by doing something like scoring music for a mind-controlled instrument designed by The Apples In Stereo's Rob Schneider. Of course. It's only natural. (Even though a mind-controlled instrument is kinda, you know, not natural?) The Donnas on a...

Kasabian celebrated the end of their tour in support of last year's West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum by gatecrashing two weddings with Noel Gallagher. We're guessing there was plenty of booze involved and the language got quite... appropriately filthy. —The Sun My Morning Jacket, R.E.M. and Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom...

Iggy And The Stooges Suggest Torontonians Should Riot At Free Show

By Bianca Marcus (CHARTattack) June 22, 2010 3:31 pm
North By Northeast 2010 featured a whopping 650 bands, but only a star of Iggy Pop's magnitude could relieve the city of its Bieber fever. Iggy And The Stooges rocked an audience of 30,000 at Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square on Saturday, with people crammed in Square from the very front row to the doors of the Eaton Centre. "Fuck you,...

Search And Destroy Documentary Gets Behind Iggy & The Stooges' Music And Album

in
By Dan Lovranski (CHARTattack) June 16, 2010 12:28 pm
This documentary deals with the making of the most notorious of the three albums by The Stooges in their initial heyday of the early '70s (they've actually released new records over the past few years). Raw Power (1973) was a truly unique recording for it's time for several different reasons, all of which are covered in the film. There had a...

Iggy Pop won't be crowdsurfing during The Stooges' free show at Yonge-Dundas Square on June 19 as part of Toronto's North By Northeast Music Festival, but maybe you can see him smear himself with peanut butter instead. The Stooges lineup of Pop, guitarist James Williamson, bassist Mike Watt, drummer Scott Asheton and saxophone player Steve Mackay...

Green Day Inducting Stooges Into Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

Listen up, high school kids wearing Hot Topic clothes and writing "punk as fuck" on your binders. We know all of you think Green Day are as punk as you can get, but today's "punk" (can it even be called that?) basically owes everything to The Stooges. Whether Green Day can be considered punk is a matter of debate, but they...

Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones ended his run as the host of Jonesy's Jukebox when Los Angeles' Indie 103.1 ended its terrestrial broadcasts to become an online-only radio station last month. The Stooges lost guitarist Ron Asheton when he died of an apparent heart attack at age 60 last month. Put these two facts together and the idea of...

Stooges guitarist/bassist Ron Asheton was found dead in his Ann Arbor, Mich. home early on Tuesday morning.

He appeared to have been...

The Stooges will play Toronto's Massey Hall on Wednesday, but they'll have to do it with rented and donated equipment and instruments after being robbed in Montreal on Monday morning.

It's a bit of a gambit these days coming back from a 20- or 30-year absence to make new music. A lot of people like the New York Dolls CD that came out in the summer, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find many fans of The Who's Endless Wire, which came out a few weeks ago.
