Iggy Pop & The Stooges hometown reunion concert

NEW YORK (Iggy Pop Fans Website) - Iggy Pop & the Stooges had to put off their big hometown reunion concert due to last week's crippling power failure. The group - which formed in 1967 in Ann Arbor, Michigan - was to perform last Thursday (August 14) at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in the Detroit suburb of Independence Township, but the show was postponed when the power failure hit just three hours before it was slated to start. The group had not yet arrived at the venue, though its equipment was set up.
The show will now take place on August 25.

Pop invited Stooges co-founders Ron and Scott "Rock Action" Asheton to his Miami Beach home studio last December to explore writing and recording together again. They wound up recording five songs, four of which - "Little Electric Chair," "Skull Rings," "Loser," and "Dead Rock Star" - appear on Pop's new album, Skull Ring, which will be released November 4. The reunited Stooges (with Mike Watt of the Minutemen/fIREHOSE filling in for original bassist Dave Alexander, who died in 1975) made their live debut at the fourth annual Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California, on April 27 this year.

Iggy pop recently told that the group plans to perform this fall in France and Spain, and will take part in the All Tomorrow's Parties festival (curated by Simpsons creator Matt Groening) November 8 and 9 aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.
