Stooges Cover Band

So I went to New York City last night and saw an SST label alumni band playing the music of The Stooges. Mike Watt was promoting a book he had published and was joined on stage by J Mascis & Murph of Dinosaur Jr. and Thurston Moore & Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth. I was at the front of the stage and took some photos. The club was packed and a common thing to punk rock shows of the 21st Century is that the audience was catatonic. They did cheer their heroes, yet the days of pogo & slam dancing are long gone. Just the music and memories of those who were there.
