Formed in early 1988 Mudhoney originally comprised Mark Arm, Matt Lukin,
Dan Peters and Steve Turner and their debut single, ‘Touch Me I’m Sick’, was the
catalytic force behind Nirvana and Pearl Jam who took grunge global.
Mudhoney’s would have been another story of half-forgotten pioneers paving the
way for others who grabbed the prize... except they not only survived all the classic
rock band excesses, but they also kept on producing great music and, bolstered
by new member Guy Maddison, celebrated their quarter-century with a superb 2013
album, Vanishing Point.
Told by Mudhoney themselves, this is an unconventional tale of rock heroism
about a band that missed out on superstardom but kept control of the music and
triumphantly outlived their more famous disciples.
