History

Mudhoney formed in Seattle, Washington, on January 1, 1988, rising from the ashes of Green River. The classic lineup paired singer/rhythm guitarist Mark Arm with lead guitarist Steve Turner, bassist Matt Lukin, and drummer Dan Peters; Lukin left in 1999 and was replaced by Guy Maddison, though he briefly rejoined for a tour spanning December 2000 to January 2001. Signed to Sub Pop, the band's fuzzed-out, garage-punk take on alternative rock, heard on the 1988 debut single "Touch Me I'm Sick" and the Superfuzz Bigmuff EP, helped define the grunge sound before the genre had a name, and Mudhoney quickly became Sub Pop's flagship act. On June 6, 1989, they shared the bill with Nirvana and Tad at the label's Lamefest showcase in Seattle. Despite their outsized influence on the scene that produced Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam, Mudhoney never crossed over commercially, staying resolutely underground while releasing eleven studio albums across a career that continues to this day.
