Mudhoney

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-sensory experience. The music and excitement remained in my body for hours/days afterwards. I think this was the most powerful gig I have experienced yet.

Caulder The Lending Rooms 31.05.19 The songs were extremely musically created. T he songs progressed through lots of layer, you were watching the texture build.  They were thoughtfully composed with build ups and drops. The tunes had a balance of being exposed as well as loud and expressive.  A memorable part was where the first half of the last song was played on acoustic guitar and recorded on a loop which was then played back in the second half, layering it with electric guitar and different drums. They were technically constructed and the phrases had dynamic range. There were some talented funky improvisations. The songs have a balance of being organised while DIY and experimental. Their set was varied, each song was quite different. They had such control over their sound. They were extremely in-sync, carrying out well coordinated stops in their songs. They could completely fill the room and created such a full sound out from 2 musicians.
