The Stooges : Head on: A Journey Through the Michigan Underground
The Stooges - Book - by Brett Callwood
(2016)
Years
before the births of the Ramones, The Clash or the New York Dolls, a
band of punk savages reared their ugly heads from the streets of
Michigan. Fronted by a wild-eyed, bare-chested maniac named Jim
Osterberg - now known to the world as Iggy Pop - they grew from bluesy
roots to lead the charge into a new era of punk rock. Containing primary
interviews with all the band members and Iggy himself, as well as other
key characters, this biography provides a collection of exclusive and
captivating eye-witness accounts of this most important of rock bands.
The
influence of The Stooges on the world of punk and rock 'n' roll is
immeasurable. The band's three albums - The Stooges, Fun House and Raw
Power - are bona fide classics. The fact that the band only existed for a
few short years at the end of the '60s and start of the '70s makes
their achievements all the more impressive.
Of
course, lead singer Iggy Pop went on to have huge success as a solo
artist, working with the likes of David Bowie and Green Day, but here,
for the first time, The Stooges story is told in-depth, through original
interviews with the band members.
