[from Seattle, WA] there were two
epiphanies during this show that I haven’t been quite able to recollect,
something about grunge and how it has such a distinctive sound and a sound so
distinctive from contemporary sounds and all of this despite being such an amalgam
of old sounds, and how grunge was the defining sound of my adolescence and I
couldn’t break it down to you now nor then with words more descriptive than
‘grunge,’ so I tried to hear this band as if there were no history between us –
as if they were any old band – and they were so good but I had a hard time
piecing them out, firstly Mark Arm has a tremendous and passionate voice that
sticks with you, they are a mix of blues and punk and garage, they are
thoroughly influenced by the Stooges, lastly I am not as thoroughly tired of
them as I am of all of the other 90s bands (Photo courtesy of http://austintownhall.com/2008/09/05/mudhoney-emos-96/)[from Seattle, WA] there were two
