Mudhoney over for two club shows and two festivals

From late August onwards, Mudhoney will embark on a 33-date Europe run supporting their acclaimed 2023 long-player Plastic Eternity. The band will hit NL too, playing two club dates and two festival shows:

31/08: Den Haag, NL - Paard SOLD OUT
01/09: Maastricht, NL - Bruis
05/10: Eindhoven, NL - Come As You Are
06/10: Groningen, NL - Vera SOLD OUT

Plastic Eternity received accolades from the likes of MOJO, Louder Than War, The Big Takeover, FLOOD, CREEM, New Noise, and Bandcamp, who described the record as “…a ripper that reaffirms their place in the annals of American hardcore and punk rock.”

Mudhoney frontman Mark Arm was recently interviewed on the popular podcast 24 Question Party People, where he discussed the Seattle sewage tunnel-boring machine named after his band, surfing at Kelly Slater’s ranch, being radicalized by KISS and Aerosmith, seeing Robert Goulet at the airport and hanging out backstage with Dave Matthews. What the? You can listen here.  
 
2024 is also the 35th anniversary of the band’s essential self-titled classic, Mudhoney. Sub Pop is repressing the record on clear vinyl with an added mix of blue, white, and purple this fall to celebrate. 

Nirvana may have been the band that put an entire generation in flannel, and Pearl Jam and Soundgarden both sold a lot more records, but Mudhoney were truly the band that made the '90s grunge rock movement possible. Mudhoney were the first real success story for Sub Pop Records; their music laid the groundwork for the movement that would (briefly) make Seattle, Washington the new capitol of the rock & roll universe. They took the sweat-soaked and beer-fueled mixture of heavy metal muscle, punk attitude, and garage rock primitivism that would become known as "grunge" to the hipster audience for the first time with early releases like 1988's Superfuzz Bigmuff and 1989's Mudhoney.
