History

Formation

Iggy Pop (born James Newell Osterberg) played in several Ann Arbor, Michigan-area bands as a teenager, including The Iguanas and later The Prime Movers. James Newell Osterberg Jr (born April 21, 1947) better known by his Stage name Iggy Pop, is an American rock singer Songwriter Ann Arbor is a city in the US state of Michigan and the county seat of Washtenaw County. The Iguanas was one of Iggy Pop 's first bands James Osterberg was the drummer while in high school and in 1964 got his Nickname Iggy from the name of The Prime Movers were a Blues band based in the Detroit area formed in 1965 The Prime Movers nicknamed Osterberg 'Iggy' in reference to his earlier band[1].

Osterberg was first inspired to form The Stooges after meeting blues drummer Sam Lay during a visit to Chicago. He returned to Detroit with the idea that simply copying established blues performers wasn't enough — he wanted to create a whole new form of blues music. Brothers Ron (guitar) and Scott Asheton (drums), along with their friend Dave Alexander (bass guitar) rounded out the rest of the band, with Osterberg taking vocal duties. Ron Asheton (b July 17, 1948 in Ann Arbor Michigan) is guitarist and co-songwriter with The guitar is a Musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles Scott "Rock Action" Asheton (b August 16, 1949 in Ann Arbor Michigan) is drummer for the Rock band The Stooges, along The drum is a member of the percussion group technically classified as a Membranophone. David Michael Alexander ( June 3 1947 - February 10 1975) was an American musician and the original Bassist for influential Protopunk The electric bass guitar (also called electric bass, or simply bass; ˈbeɪs as in "base" is a Stringed instrument played primarily with the The three nicknamed Osterberg "Pop" after a local character whom Osterberg resembled. [2] Shortly after witnessing an MC5 concert in Ann Arbor, Osterberg began using the stage name Iggy Pop, a name that he has used ever since. The MC5 ( Motor City Five) was an American Hard rock band formed in Lincoln Park Michigan in 1964 and active until

The band's debut was at a Halloween concert at the their house in State Street in 1967. Halloween, or Hallowe’en, is a Holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. They did not play live again until January 1968. [3] During this early period, The Stooges were originally billed as the "Psychedelic Stooges" at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, Michigan, and other venues, where they played with the MC5 and others. The Grande Ballroom is a historic live music venue located at 8952 Grand River Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. The MC5 ( Motor City Five) was an American Hard rock band formed in Lincoln Park Michigan in 1964 and active until

The group's early sound was very different from their later music; critic Edwin Pouncey writes,

The Stooges' early musical experiments were more avant garde than punk rock, with Pop incorporating such household objects as a vacuum cleaner and a blender into an intense wall of feedback that one observer described as sounding like "an airplane was landing in the room. A vacuum cleaner (in colloquial British English also hoover) is a device that uses an air Pump to create a partial Vacuum to Suck A blender, or liquidiser in British English, is a Kitchen appliance used to mix ingredients or Puree food " Homemade instruments were also incorporated to flesh out the overall sound. The 'Jim-a-phone' involved pushing feedback through a funnel device which was raised and lowered to achieve the best effect. There was also a cheap Hawaiian guitar which Pop and guitarist Ron Asheton would take turns in plucking to produce a simulated sitar drone, while drummer Scott Asheton pounded away at a set of oil drums with a ball hammer. The lap steel guitar is a type of Steel guitar, from which other types developed The sitar ( Hindi: सितार Urdu: ستار Persian: سی تار) is a Plucked stringed instrument. [4]

Commercial struggles

The Stooges soon gained a reputation for their wild, primitive live performances. Pop, especially, won fame for his outrageous onstage behaviour—smearing his naked chest with hamburger meat and peanut butter, cutting himself with shards of glass, and flashing his genitalia to the audience. At one concert, he played a vacuum cleaner like a musical instrument. At a memorable concert in Toronto he urinated on the audience. Pop is also sometimes credited with the invention or popularization of stage diving. Stage diving is the act of leaping from a Concert stage onto the crowd below a stage antic whose origin is variously credited to Iggy Pop or Peter Gabriel

In 1968, The Stooges were signed by Elektra Records, who had sent a scout named Danny Fields to see the MC5. Elektra Records is a now-dormant American Record label owned by Warner Music Group (WMG and from 2004 on operating under WMG's Atlantic Records Danny Fields (born 1941 is an American journalist and record executive He wound up signing both acts. (Fields would later go on to discover and manage The Ramones. The Ramones were an American rock band often regarded as the first Punk rock group )

1969 saw the release of their self-titled debut album The Stooges, but it did not sell very well, nor was it well received by critics at the time. The Stooges is the self-titled debut of the Protopunk band The Stooges. Legend has it that half of the album was written the night before the first session, which was produced by former Velvet Underground bassist John Cale.

For other uses see Funhouse (disambiguation Fun House is the second album by the American rock band The Stooges. Many consider Fun House to be the best representation of The Stooges, as the main goal of the album was to capture the manic energy of their live performances.

On June 13 of that year, television captured footage of the band at the Cincinnati Pop Festival.

It has since become an iconic rock image.

Fun House, like the debut album, was poorly received by both the general public and the critics.

Alexander was fired from the band in August 1970 after showing up at the Goose Lake International Music Festival too drunk to play. The Goose Lake International Music Festival was an outdoor Rock festival held from August 7 to August 9, 1970, in the Leoni Township of [5] He was replaced by a succession of new bass players: Zeke Zettner[6] and James Recca. Tommy 'Zeke' Zettner was a member of rock band The Stooges. Zettner had originally been a roadie for the band but replaced original Stooges bassist Dave Alexander Jimmy Recca (born 1949 was a bass player in The Stooges incarnation that existed from early 1971- up until their first break-up on July 9th 1971 Around this time, the band expanded their line-up, adding saxophonist Steve MacKay and then a second guitar player, roadie Billy Cheatham. Steve Mackay is an American Tenor saxophone player best known for his participation on The Stooges ' influential second album Fun House. [1] Cheatham was quickly replaced by James Williamson. James Robert Williamson (born 29 october 1949 in Castroville Texas) is an American Guitarist

At this point, The Stooges (with the notable exception of Ron Asheton[1][7]) had all become serious heroin users, with Pop being the worst example. The drug was introduced to the band by new manager John Adams. [1] Their performances became even more unpredictable, and Pop often had trouble standing up on stage due to his extreme drug abuse. Elektra soon (July 1971[7]) dropped The Stooges from its roster, and the band went on hiatus for several months. The final line-up was Iggy Pop, the Asheton brothers, Jimmy Recca and James Williamson. [1]

Raw Power and breakup

With the band in limbo, Pop met David Bowie in September 1971,[7] and the pair became good friends. David Bowie (ˈboʊiː born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947 is an English Musician, actor producer, and arranger. Bowie, then at the height of his Ziggy Stardust-era fame, brought Pop and Williamson to the UK, and got them a deal with Columbia Records. Columbia Records is an American Record label founded in 1888 Columbia is the oldest surviving Brand name in pre-recorded sound being the first record company The pair attempted to reconstitute The Stooges with British musicians, but finding nobody suitable, brought the Asheton brothers back into the band (this "second choice" decision rankled with Ron Asheton, as did his change from guitar to bass). This line-up, billed as "Iggy & The Stooges", recorded their third album, the massively influential Raw Power (1973), which Bowie mixed. Raw Power is a 1973 album by American Protopunk group The Stooges. This album would go on to become one of the cornerstones of early punk rock, although the album sold rather poorly, and was regarded as a commercial failure at the time of its release.

Now augmented by a piano player (briefly Bob Sheff and then Scott Thurston[1]) The Stooges toured for several months before disbanding in February 1974 as a result of Pop's ever-present heroin addiction and erratic behaviour (at least off stage, as many people around the band acknowledged that while performing or rehearsing, Iggy had more focus)[8]. Scott Thurston (born January 10, 1952) is an American Guitarist, Keyboardist, and Songwriter, best known as a Session musician The band's last-ever performance was captured on the classic live album Metallic K.O..

Post breakup

Lust for Life is a 1977 album by Iggy Pop, his second solo release and his second collaboration with David Bowie, following The Idiot In March of 1977, Pop toured with a backing band consisting of David Bowie (keyboards), Ricky Gardiner (guitar), and brothers Tony Sales (bass) and Hunt Sales (drums), sons of Soupy Sales.

Reunion

In 2000, Scott Puffer, a commentator and DJ for KRUU-FM in Fairfield, Iowa, and a long-time guitarist and band member in that town, was with J Mascis attending darshan with famous Indian saint Mata Amritananda Mayi (aka Ammaji) in Ann Arbor.

Finally, Scott got the number from Mascis and called Asheton himself as a promoter and rep for Mascis, leaving Mascis's number. Asheton called Mascis back, and they got along well, as Puffer had predicted. Later Scott Asheton was invited also. Mike Watt played bass. Some were calling them "The New Stooges" until Pop showed up years later being impressed. At that point, Pop decided to revive the Stooges and Mascis reunited with members of his band Dinosaur Jr. The Stooges reunited in 2003, appearing on the Skull Ring album with Pop on vocals, Scott Asheton on drums, and Ron Asheton on both guitar and bass.
