Today sees the launch of a new video for FUNHOUSE, one of the highlights off the album. It features Luke ‘Skyscraper’ James. The song is about rural communities’ historic wait for the circus-carnival to come to town.

Funhouse sounds like a track from a secret solo Syd Barrett album. Yes, the mentally disturbed genius of the early Pink Floyd days. Folkish psychedelia for the midnight hours. Otherwordly and chilling.

Band: The Stooges
Active: 1967–1971, 1972–1974, 2003–201
Album: Funhouse – the band’s second LP
Released: 7 July 1970 – 50 years ago today

Rolling Stone wrote: “With garage-savvy ex-Kingsmen keyboardist Don Gallucci producing their second album, the Stooges’ relentless “troglodyte groove” was allowed to run psychotically rampant. “I stick it deep inside,” Iggy Pop growls on “Loose.” And the punk torpedoes like “T.V. Eye” make good on that promise.”

Key phrase: “The passenger having fun with his lust for destruction. ”
Keywords: Mean punk machine, still your dog, ruinous bluster, maniacal tantrums
