The "Raw Power" incarnation of Iggy Pop & the Stooges plan to tour
worldwide in 2010. Pop, guitarist James Williamson and drummer Scott "Rock
Action" Asheton will be joined by current Stooges bassist Mike Watt, who in this
case will be replacing the late Ron Asheton who played bass on the 1973 album.
The group will perform a one-off show on Saturday (November 7th) in Brazil, but
Pop told the BBC that "the real touring starts next year," including an
appearance at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival next May in London. No other
dates or recording plans have been announced, however. The Stooges have been
nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's class of 2010; an
announcement is expected early next year.
