This studio is dedicated to
Ronny, Scotty, their music and their legacy
107 Sound is the latest musical project from Kathy Asheton. From the beginnings
of where it all started at the Asheton family home, aka 107, where Ronny gave us
the sound that would go on to become known as “The God Father of Punk Rock
Guitar”. Along with his brother Scotty, his lifetime musical partner, they became
Punk Rock Heroes. Their music lives on in every corner of the world and is, “Not
Ready to Die.” Kathy reunites the sound and the place that started it all.
“Many Years have passed since Iggy would get on a bus from Ypsilanti to go to
“107” and throw rocks up at Ronny and Scotty’s windows to wake them up for
practice. Our mom was at work during the day so that’s when they could make all
the noise they wanted. When I told Iggy about my plan to build a studio in the
family home, he said, “Well Kathy, that’s a given.” Joining in on this venture is
Pete Bankert, our engineer and a long-time music associate of both Ronny and
Scotty’s. When I mentioined the idea of building a studio at 107 to Leanna,
Scotty’s daughter, she said, “That’s what my dad wanted to do.” So, this is for
you, Scotty…
