Something about Mudhoney..

edited January 2007 in Other Music
I read an recent article about Mudhoney in a paper here in Finland. (At least some of) The guys in Mudhoney still have normal dayjobs. One of them was working for Sub Pop (in a storage or something) and one was working in a mental institution. I can't remember exactly who did what. They are not very big here except in the indie circles but I wonder do they really still have to work besides their music careers? Or do they just want to keep it that way? It was a nice article and interview, cool guys.

    From what I have heard, that is true. They have day jobs.

    mark arm (singer/guitar player) is the one at subpop. he does the merch shipping i believe. i forgot if it was steve or dan that works in the hospital.

    I will be buying thier new album. The last two were amazing. Just need to find it.

    Steve Turners solo albums rock too. Bad Ideas was a piece of gold, Painting a picture and Chalkies on a Bummer among others are awesome.

    It's unlikely they'd work day jobs if they didn't have to.

    it's sad cause mudhoney, the band that EVERY "SEATTLE" BAND (including Pearl Jam) worships and admits they themselves would not exist if it weren't for mudhoney.

    i can understand not enjoying their music, because it is not very radio friendly. if you don't at least appreciate mudhoney then you don't really get it, you're more of a surface music fan -- not willing to understand why bands sound the way they do/who influences them.

    Mudhoney can be good. My favorite Mudhoney song is 1000 Forms of Mind.

    Somebody told me recently that Mudhoney broke up, is that true? I can't find it online so I guess not, but...

    the rumors are untrue, they are still together. And would be for ever !

    Yep, they have day jobs. They didn't start making music to get rich and popular, unlike your favorite bands mr Lefan. But its not STILL ! they toured a lot in the 90s. And touring is the most profitable thing in music bussiness (unless you're a corporation puppet such as boybands or any rock band that gets signed thru a major) but since they don't tour that much anymore (you know, old age they say. I would say laziness as well)

    Mark works for Subpop, Guy is a cardiac nurse at some Medical Center in Seattle and Dan and Steve are stay at home dads. But then they turn into superheroes at night just to rock as out and save us from the bad rock bands out there ;)

    Ps: Steve solo records are great ! I just got the last one entitled "New Wave Punk Asshole" and kick ass !

    Like six months ago or something, I was introduced to Dan Peters outside the Sunset Tavern in Ballard, he was there to see a Girl Trouble show. Genuine, nice guy, I was pretty excited to meet him. When I shook his hand he held it against his head a couple times, he was just being goofy, that or he put down a few earlier. :)

    I don't understand how a great band like Mudhoney, who influenced so many other great bands, don't earn enough money from selling records to live off :confused:

    I know they don't appeal to everyone but I like them :)

    It's very probable that they do make enough to not work but just choose to work to stay occupied.. kinda like retired people. Anyway, great band!!

    weren't they the biggest band out of seattle at one point?
    kinda makes me feel bad for downloading, i always download saying 'i need the $10 more then they do', maybe this is not the case with mudhoney :(

    Mudhoney's worth buying. They put a lot of effort into thier discs, plus the vinyls are kick ass.

    Check out the Since Weve Become Translucent lp for 10 bucks.

    p.s nirvana has rare singles there for cheap too
