The Stooges are back in the studio working on a new album, their first new LP since the release of 'Raw Power' in 1973. The band, who reunited for the first time back in 2005 for a series of live appearances, of course, are working with former Nirvana producer Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago. The current line up consists of Iggy Pop, Mike Watt, Scott Asheton and Ron Asheton.
Iggy Pop says of getting back to song writing with bandmate Ron Asheton: "All the same passions and problems are there. But the problems are in a more muted style. I'm still the show-off in the group that gets all the attention. Everyone has their role. It's pretty much the way it was in high school."
