Biography

During the psychedelic haze of the late '60s, the grimy, noisy, and relentlessly bleak rock & roll of the Stooges was conspicuously out of time. Like the Velvet Underground, the Stooges revealed the underside of sex, drugs, and rock & roll, showing all of the grime beneath the myth. Taking their cue from the over-amplified pounding of British blues and the primal raunch of American garage rock, the Stooges were raw, immediate, and vulgar. During the late '60s and early '70s, the group was an underground sensation, yet the band was too weird, too dangerous to break into the mainstream. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Mark Deming
