7-10-12 STOOGES OVER LONDON ..From the July 8,
1972 pages of Melody Maker, an advert for a "IGGY POP, ex-Iggy & the Stooges"
show on the 15th. As the late Ernie "DUTCH" Borgnine might have said:
"Ex Stooges yer BUTT!!" This was the imfamous, pre RAW POWER, only
European show by Iggy AND the Stooges (with the FLAMIN' GROOVIES!). In
attendance were the FUTURE PUNKS OF ENGLAND (Johnny Rotten, Joe Strummer, Mick
Jones, Brian James, Siouxsie Sioux). It changed lives and was the REAL start of
the British Punk scene. To quote Nick Kent: "The total effect was more
frightening than all the Alice Coopers and Clockwork Oranges put together,
simply because these guys weren't joking."
P.S. Attention BONZODOG fans! Salivate over the line-up on the 8th!!
