Came to watch a friend play in a metal band but had never heard of the other bands playing. I t was odd at the start, the audience was very shy and lined the walls rather than standing centrally. Not only must this have been awkward for the audience but also an intimidating atmosphere for the performing band. They were all extremely talented. The singers particularly had such a wide range (really high and really low) but all perfectly in tune. I think the guitarist was actually the star. His fingers were easily flowing around the guitar, like a spider and he could sing and screech perfectly. Their sound was heavy yet classic, it was rejuvenating music like Metallica mixed with Black Sabbath. They were glowing red and only wearing black clothes. They were enveloped in the lighting and it was bold and striking. Artefacts Key Club, Leeds 02.12.18

We were right at the barrier at the front. We had an amazing view. We were close enough to the mosh pit to feel part of the experience yet safe at the front. There were some fantastic grunge moves/positions. It was amazing watching a founding and originating and authentic grunge band from Seattle in real life. It is incredible to think about the different experiences of gigs that the band must have had and how tame this gig must be compared to their gigs at the beginning, 27 years ago. It would have been a different and incredible experience to watch them in their prime. They have their own sound but all of the songs are different. They were fast and slow but all Mudhoney, a unique sound. All perfectly distorted imperfect dirty grunge. The gig was so loud! I knew every tune and I wasn't holding back yelling them. There were some really special, unique moments. Mark kept coming right to the front near us and he gave someone a twinkly high 5. This was a truly multi-sensor...
