Iggy and the Stooges and the Case of the Stolen Maracas

Looks wish the following Iggy and the Stooges gig may be severely unplugged. Maybe even a capella.


A rental van carrying the ex-serviceman proto-punk outfit's gear, including guitars, drums, amps and even tambourines and maracas, was jacked outside the Embassy Suites hotel in Montreal.


The Penske 15-foot yellow truck with Michigan plates, was heisted between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. ET on Monday, hours after the�boys played a festival date.


A complete rundown of the swiped equipment is listed on bassist Mike Watt's site, and anyone with info on the Iggy-heisting can contact tour coach Eric Fischer at nycentral13@gmail.com.


The theft won't stop the Stooges from going on with the show. The band says it volition rent or buy instruments, if necessary, for the remaining ternary dates of the tour, beginning with tonight's bear witness at Toronto's Massey Hall.
