How Did You Find Out About Mudhoney?

[greesyrice]

I found out about them when i was watching "Top 20 Grunge Albums" (they were number 6 or 7 i think) and i thought the name was cool and looked them up on the internet, listend to a couple songs, and became a big fan.

so just tell me how you alll came to know Mudhoney as you do know.

Well, first I was really into Nirvana and Soundgarden, but after a while ago I got more and more interested in other (grunge) bands. So I bought the Hype! set. I got hooked on the Mudhoney song.

After a search on the internet I bought 1 cd, Best of the BBC recordings.

Seems ages ago.

mother love bone suck, and needless to say how fucking cool the mud are!!! but anyway i had a friend who said "ya gotta hear this or your life aint complete" and he was right!!!

I was thinking about this the other day....
For me if was a combination of reading about them supporting Sonic Youth in the UK in early 1989 (probably in Melody Maker) and hearing them on this local indie radio show out of Brighton on BBC Radio Sussex called 'Turn It Up' which went out on a Sunday night after the chart show. I can VIVIDLY remember walking into my local Virgin record shop a few days later and buying a Glitterhouse copy of Superfuzz Bigmuff (with Touch Me I'm Sick tacked on it) on LP. It just totally blew me away! And 16 years later still does!!
They played Portsmouth Polytechnic in late May of that year and it was just insane!! Supported by Soundgarden and a band called Sharkeys Machine I think.
I was kind of pre-disposed to liking them, as I was allready into Dino Jr, Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Stooges, MC5, Spacemen 3, Hardcore, etc etc But Mudhoney seemed to takes all these influences and coalesce them into one steaming hunk of burning rock! Changed my life:)

Found out about them while watching Live Tonight Sold Out by Nirvana,and kurt is getting interviewed at reading i believe and kurt is going on about ''Every 20 years or so there always seems to be a good handful of bands'' Then you see a few clips of mudhoney,pearl jam,screaming trees,and alice in chains,like 2 days after i saw it i went out and bought albums by all those artists and was then in to what was to become known as GRUNGE haha

I found mudhoney through Nirvana's Live Tonight Sold Out!! video also. Saw that 3-4 second clip of Suck You Dry and next day I went and borrowed EGBDF and Piece of Cake. SYD was actually only song I bothered to listen off Piece of Cake but EGBDF was awsome.. It's still propably my favourite LP.
Those other famous "grunge" didn't mean anything to me.. I still find Alice in chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam pretty boring.

For me...like a lot of us, it started with being blow away by NIRVANA in 1992 i think, I was 10 at the time, now I'm 22 and they still blow me away...anyway, after Niravana, the obvious choices were Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains (I'm a big fan of them all to this day...) and so on...but everytime I read something about the whole "grunge" thing (never really cared about the term anyway...) Mudhoney popped up, but for some strange reason, I only got to hear Touch Me I'm Sick, and never really liked it enough to buy a Mudhoney record...until early 2000, when I became more interested and I bought March to fuzz as soon as it went out and it BLEW ME AWAY to the point that they're one of my favorite bands...and they always be!

Nirvana sadly unoriginal i know, oh well.
