Iggy Pop

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

There's a reason why many consider Iggy Pop the godfather of punk -- every single punk band of the past and present has either knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from Pop and his late-'60s/early-'70s band, the Stooges. Born on April 21, 1947, in Muskegon, MI, James Newell Osterberg was raised by his parents in a trailer park close to Ann Arbor, in nearby Ypsilanti. Intrigued by rock & roll (as well as such non-musical, monotonous, and mechanical sounds as his father's electric razor and the local automobile assembly plants in Detroit), {$Osterbe...[more]

 

 

On The Idiot, Iggy Pop looked deep inside himself, trying to figure out how his life and his art had gone wrong in the past. But on Lust for Life, released less than a year later, Iggy decided it was time to kick up his heels, as he traded in the mid-tempo introspection of his first album and began rocking hard again. Musically, Lust for Life is a more aggressive set than The Idiot, largely thanks to drummer Hunt Sales and his bassist brother Tony Sales. The Sales' proved they were a   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. If there's ever been an album that lives up to its title, this is it -- Iggy and the Stooges' apocalyptic, high-octane bombshell, Raw Power! At times, this searing, end-of-the-world death platter -- home to such proto-punk frontal assaults as 'Search and Destroy,' 'Shake Appeal,' and 'Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell' -- even threatens to surpass its beyond-appropriate moniker. Although this incarnation of The Stooges imploded not long after its release, Raw Power became the LP    [ read more ]

Iggy Pop takes on the language of romance, putting a decidedly French twist on his new album Preliminaires. Produced by longtime collaborator Hal Cragin (They Might Be Giants, Sarah Mclachlan, Rufus Wanwright), Preliminaires focuses more on jazz arrangements and Iggy's distinctive, rich baritone. He even sings in French, performing a cover of the jazz standard "Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves)," which was originally made famous by French legends Yves Montand and Edith Piaf.

In 1997 the press echoed the rumor of a STOOGES reunion: this was going to be "The Year Of The Iguana." To coincide with the event, BOMP released this awesome collection of material culled from the acclaimed Iguana Series, remastered with some PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED tracks, complete with liner notes by Greg Shaw and packaged with stunning photos by Leni Sinclair. As we all know, the highly anticipated STOOGES reunion did not occur, and the release went out of print. But The Year Of The Iguana still stands as   [ read more ]

In 1976, the Stooges had been gone for two years, and Iggy Pop had developed a notorious reputation as one of rock & roll's most spectacular waste cases. After a self-imposed stay in a mental hospital, a significantly more functional Iggy was desperate to prove he could hold down a career in music, and he was given another chance by his longtime ally, David Bowie. Bowie co-wrote a batch of new songs with Iggy, put together a band, and produced The Idiot, which took Iggy in a new dire   [ read more ]

There's little doubt that in the 20 years plus since their demise as a group, Iggy and the Stooges have achieved legendary status as the seminal and defining influence on the late-'70s punk rock movement; without them, there would have been no Sex Pistols, etc. And in those intervening years, they have found themselves being exhaustively documented,   [ read more ]

Here they are, the original Stooges (with the exception of the bassist, here played by the infamous Mike Watt), performing at their first Detroit homecoming in 29 years. Iggy and friends don't disappoint, pulling out al the stops and ripping it up raw. Bonus material includes: legendary Stooges NY in-store, Mike Watt journal reading, photo gallery, sing-a-long versions, and a CREEM magazine archive.
