Emerging from Ann Arbor Michigan amidst a countercultural revolution, The Stooges' powerful and aggressive style of rock-n-roll blew a crater in the musical landscape of the late 1960s. Assaulting audiences with a blend of rock, blues, R&B, and free jazz, the band planted the seeds for what would be called punk and alternative rock in the decades that followed.
Jim Jarmusch's new film "Gimme Danger" presents the context of The Stooges emergence musically, culturally, politically, historically, and relates the adventures and misadventures of the band and its charismatic singer Iggy Pop while charting their inspirations and the reasons behind their initial commercial challenges, as well as their long-lasting legacy.
