Scott Asheton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott "Rock Action" Asheton (b. August 16, 1949 in Ann Arbor, Michigan) is drummer for the rock band The Stooges, along with his older brother Ron Asheton, Iggy Pop and (originally) Dave Alexander. He has appeared on all the band's releases.
[edit] Career
During the separation of the band he was among the few ex-members to play again with Iggy Pop during a 1978 European tour.[1] Scott Asheton has also been the drummer for Scott Morgan in different bands (amongst which were the Scott Morgan Band and Scots Pirates), but whose most famous remains the Sonic's Rendezvous Band.[2] He then went on to play drums touring in a late incarnation of Destroy All Monsters, under the name Dark Carnival,[3] and also appeared on some albums of Sonny Vincent[4] to whom he is related.[citation needed] However, since the Stooges reformed, he is now drummer only for them. Scott Asheton also has a daughter named Leanna Asheton and two stepsons, Simon and Aaron Wallis.
