About The Stooges

The Stooges, originally known as the Psychedelic Stooges, are an iconic American rock band that formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1967. Led by the charismatic Iggy Pop, alongside guitarist Ron Asheton, drummer Scott Asheton, and bassist Dave Alexander, the band is widely regarded as one of the pioneering forces behind the proto-punk and punk rock movements. Their raw, aggressive style and confrontational live performances, often featuring acts of self-mutilation by Iggy Pop, earned them a notorious reputation and a dedicated following. The Stooges' debut album, released in 1969, is a landmark in the genre, featuring classics like "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "1969." Their subsequent albums, including "Fun House" and "Raw Power," further cemented their influence on the punk rock genre. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, The Stooges continue to inspire new generations of musicians with their groundbreaking sound and rebellious spirit.
