Formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1967, the Stooges are icons of modern rock, influencing the fledgling sounds of punk, heavy metal, and hard core. From the beginning, lead singer and provocateur Iggy Pop (b. James Osterberg) astounded audiences with his outrageous stage performances, accompanied by guitarist Ron Asheton, his drummer brother Scott Asheton, and bassist Dave Alexander with their raw and bracing sound. The group disbanded in 1974, but reunited in 2003. In this book, rock photographer Robert Matheu compiles a authorized book about the band, including photographs, interviews, and vintage articles and ephemera dating from the band's breakout performances in Detroit in the late 1960s through their shows in 2009.
