The idea kind of bubbled to the surface when we realized how many hip music dudes / dudettes of our acquaintance didn't really know any Stooges music (altho they all know the name). For shame. Since then, we've expanded the parameters to include other proto-/early punk stuff we like from bands like Alice Cooper, the Heartbreakers, Rocket from the Tombs / Pere Ubu, MC5, and the Damned.
Respect to Ron Asheton, Dave Alexander, Zeke Zettner, Rob Tyner, Fred "Sonic" Smith, Glenn Buxton, Johnny Thunders, Jerry Nolan, Arthur Kane, Peter Laughner, and Chad Morgan Percy (R.I.P.).
Stoogeaphilia loves Tommy, Will, Marlin, Trucker Jon, Bandy, Lee, Andre, Sir Steffin, Billy, Amy, Kat, the Asian Media Crew, Sam and Jeanne, and Big Joe's Pizza.
"Stoogeaphilia is all about the party, especially if your type of party involves mentally disintegrating under the caustic bile of proto-punk bashed out by a who's-who of area rockers." - Steve Steward, Fort Worth Weekly
"The music is killer, though a lot of folks go just to watch the dudes in the band get nuts onstage." - Anthony Mariani, Fort Worth Weekly "Blotch"
