  • Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds for Our Purposes, The
    "KICK OUT THE JAMS!" Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds For our purposes, the story of Detroit rock & roll begins on September 3, 1948, when a little-known local performer named John Lee Hooker entered United Sound Studios for his first recording session. Rock & roll was still an obscure rhythm & blues catchphrase, certainly not yet a musical genre, and Hooker's career trajectory had been that of the standard-issue bluesman. A native of the Mississippi Delta, he had drifted north for the same reason that eastern Europeans and Kentucky hillbillies, Greeks and Poles and Arabs and Asians and Mexicans had all been migrating toward Michigan in waves for the first half of the 20th Century. "The Motor City it was then, with the factories and everything, and the money was flowing," Hooker told biographer Charles Shaar Murray." All the cars were being built there. Detroit was the city then. Work, work, work, work. Plenty work, good wages, good money at that time."1 He worked many of those factories, Ford and General Motors among them, and at night he plied the craft of the bluesman in bars, social clubs and at house parties. But John Lee Hooker was no ordinary bluesman, and the song he cut at the tail of his first session, "Boogie Chillen," was no ordinary blues. Accompanied only by the stomp of his right foot, his acoustic guitar hammered an insistent pattern, partially based on boogie-woogie piano, that Hooker said he learned from his stepfather back in Mississippi as "country boogie." Informed by the urgency and relentless drive of his Detroit assembly line experiences, John Lee's urban guitar boogie would become a signature color on the rock & roll palette, as readily identifiable as Bo Diddley's beat or Chuck Berry's ringing chords.

  • “RON WAS the Riffmeister and All That Was Good in This World
    “RON WAS THE Riffmeister and all that was good in this world,” declares Andrew Innes of Primal Scream, just one of countless bands who owe an inestimable debt to Ron Asheton’s (pictured, in glasses) monolithic stun guitar onslaughts on the first two Stooges albums. Asheton, found dead yesterday at his Ann Arbor home from a suspected heart attack, was the most influential punk guitarist of all time, his monosyllabic, piledriver riffs providing blueprints for later applecart- upsetters like the New York Dolls and Sex Pistols. Even former Captain Beefheart and Jeff Buckley guitarist Gary Lucas has paid tribute to “some of the best and most iconic riffs in punk history”. In his own private world Asheton, whose unusual pantheon of heroes included Adolf Hitler and the Three Stooges, was the most dangerous embodiment of the Stooges’ dum dum boys aesthetic, infamous for his extensive collection of Nazi memorabilia and the unsavoury swastika armbands later adopted by UK punk- shockers. Ironically, he was the only Stooge who eschewed hard drugs. Ron was born in Washington DC in 1948, brought to Ann Arbor by his mother after his Marine Corp pilot father Ronald’s death in 1963. Besotted by the Beatles and the Stones, he became obsessed with Pete Townshend after a Who gig during a mid-’60s pilgrimage to London with high school buddy Dave Alexander. He played bass in local bands including the Prime Movers, Chosen Few and Dirty Shames before forming the Psychedelic Stooges with Alexander, Scott and a local kid he’d met called James Osterberg – rechristened Iggy after a stint in a band called The Iguanas.

Without their generous hearts, tolerant ears, and (occasionally) open pocketbooks, I would have never made it this far, in any endeavor.

Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my dissertation supervisor, Mark Smith. Even though we don’t necessarily work on the same kinds of topics, I’ve always appreciated his patient advice. I’m sure he’d be loath to use the word “wisdom,” but his open mind combined with ample, sometimes non-academic experience provided reassurances when they were needed most. Following closely on Mark’s heels is Karl Miller. Although not technically my supervisor, his generosity with his time and his always valuable (if sometimes painful) feedback during the dissertation writing process was absolutely essential to the development of the project, especially while Mark was abroad on a Fulbright.

  • Gimme Danger
    GIMME DANGER SYNOPSIS: Emerging from Ann Arbor Michigan amidst a countercultural revolution, The Stooges’ powerful and aggressive style of rock-n-roll blew a crater in the musical landscape of the late 1960s. Assaulting audiences with a blend of rock, blues, R&B, and free jazz, the band planted the seeds for what would be called punk and alternative rock in the decades that followed. Jim Jarmusch’s new film GIMME DANGER chronicles the story of The Stooges, one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands of all time. GIMME DANGER presents the context of the Stooges emergence musically, culturally, politically, historically, and relates their adventures and misadventures while charting their inspirations and the reasons behind their initial commercial challenges, as well as their long-lasting legacy. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: No other band in rock’n’roll history has rivaled The Stooges’ combination of heavy primal throb, spiked psychedelia, blues-a-billy grind, complete with succinct angst-ridden lyrics, and a snarling, preening leopard of a front man who somehow embodies Nijinsky, Bruce Lee, Harpo Marx, and Arthur Rimbaud. There is no precedent for The Stooges, while those inspired by them are now legion. GIMME DANGER is more an 'essay' than a document. It's our love letter to possibly the greatest band in rock'n'roll history, and presents their story, their influences and their impact, complete with some never- before-seen footage and photographs. Like the Stooges and their music, GIMME DANGER is a little wild, messy, emotional, funny, primitive, and sophisticated in the most unrefined way. Long live The Stooges!" - Jim Jarmusch CREW: Director: Jim Jarmusch Producers: Carter Logan, Fernando Sulichin, Rob Wilson Executive Producers: Serge Lobo, José Ibáñez, Jon Kilik Director of Photography: Tom Krueger Editors: Affonso Gonçalves, Adam Kurnitz Sound Designer: Robert Hein CAST: Iggy Pop Ron Asheton Scott Asheton James Williamson Steve Mackay Mike Watt Kathy Asheton Danny Fields Low Mind Films Inc.

  • After Vocalist Iggy Pop and Guitarist Ron
    http://waldo.villagesoup.com/Blogs/story.cfm?storyID=122689 Iggy & the Stooges: Escaped Maniacs (MVD Visual, 2 DVDs, NR, 5 hours 34 min.). After vocalist Iggy Pop and guitarist Ron Asheton had not even spoken to each other in some 20 years, the band reformed in 2003 due to increased awareness of their groundbreaking sound and a tour the Asheton brothers (Scott plays drums) did with current bassist Mike Watt (FIREHOUSE, The Minutemen) and vocalist J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. Original bassist Dave Alexander died in 1975 of alcohol-related problems. The Stooges evolved out of Detroit after James Osterberg, soon to be known as Iggy Pop, a k a the Godfather of Punk, decided to expand from playing drums in well-received high school and college bands, and took a trip to Chicago to investigate the blues scene. In one of the bonus features, Iggy recalls a trip to a Ford motor plant at age 9 and falling in love with the heavy industrial sounds. Starting in 1969, the band made three legendary albums, sparked by such songs as “I Wanna Be Your Dog” (sort of lust for abasement) and the lost youth of “1969.” Iggy became friends with David Bowie, who influenced “Raw Power” (by this time the Stooges’ music was heavily influenced by John Coltrane), the third and final major label album. (Iggy would collaborate with Bowie off an on during his solo career, including such wonderful songs as “Lust For Life,” “China Girl” (Bowie had a hit with it) and “The Passenger.” Here, the 65-minute concert is presented in two forms of the same length; the director’s cut is more more tightly edited visually.

Au printemps 2014, Bunktilt – trois musiciens venus du jazz, Lionel Martin (sax), Fred Meyer (guitare), et Thibault Martin (batterie) – enflamme le public lors d’une tournée mémorable d’une quinzaine de concerts avec Steve Mackay, saxophoniste historique des Stooges, époque de l’album FunHouse. Déferlement d'électricité et d'énergie, lave en fusion, Bunktilt explore le répertoire des Stooges pour en extraire la substantifique moelle, et produire une musique inédite, aux frontières du free jazz et du punk. Leurs concerts, intenses, ne laissent personne indifférent. L’album Bunktilt & Steve Mackay Dig the Stooges permet de retrouver cette énergie intacte captée lors du concert donné à Dunkerque le 29 Mars 2014. Bunktilt A l’origine de cette aventure hors du commun, le choc de la redécouverte de Funhouse en vinyle par Lionel Martin.
