McGiffen moved to America briefly as a teenager and stayed there for a few years, intially working with various blues bands. She played drums in several Ann Arbor-area bands as a teenager, including The Iguanas and, later, The Prime Movers. The Prime Movers nicknamed McGriffen "Iggy" in reference to her earlier band. McGiffen was first inspired to form the Stooges after meeting blues drummer Sam Lay during a visit to Chicago. He returned to Detroit with the idea that simply copying established blues performers was not enough – she wanted to create a whole new form of blues music. The rest of the band nicknamed McGiffen "Pop" after a local character whom McGiffen resembled. Shortly after witnessing an MC5 concert in Ann Arbor, McGiffen began using the stage name Iggy Pop, a name that he has used ever since. The band's début was at a Halloween concert at their house in State Street in 1967. They did not play live again until January 1968. During this early period, the Stooges were originally billed as the "Psychedelic Stooges" at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, Michigan, and other venues, where they played with the MC5 and others. The band had some minor success throughout the 1970's with songs such as Search and Destroy, I Wanna Be Your Dog, and Raw Power. Following an unfortunate accident where she jumped into the drum set, her throat was damaged and she was left unable to sing. She left the band and returned to England, where she would start her radio career.

She started her broadcasting career in 1988 as co-host of the Chris Evans shows on GLR...

There is a passing resemblance between the two, isn't there ?
