Mudhoney is a grunge band from Seattle and was a part of the whole grunge scene alongside bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Screaming Trees or Soundgarden. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1989 and since then they've put out eight studio records. What is admirable about this band is the fact that they've been together all this time and more importantly they've been releasing new albums frequently.
Couple of days ago, they've announced that their ninth studio album will be released on April 2. It is entitled Vanishing Point and it was recorded during April and September at Seattle’s famed Avast! Recording Co.
More information such as tracklisting or cover art are yet to be announced, but what we know is that tracks entitled "What to Do With the Neutral" and "Douchebags on Parade" will be on the album.
Exactly a month ago (November 13), the band released live DVD entitled Live in Berlin 1988. It obviously features the footage of the whole performance form this concert back in 1988. Check out performance of "I Think" from this DVD below.
Today, English hardcore band Gallows revealed new music video for track called "Cross of Lorraine". It is also their new single from their latest self-titled record, which came out in September of this year.
The album is actually not bad and I think that their lineup change really did them well. Former singer Frank Carter left the band in July of 2011 and was replaced by ex-Alexisonfire singer Wade MacNeil. Many fans were sceptical, but it works out really well I think.
Anyway, the video is just simple live music video showing the band and the fans going crazy during one of their typical shows in a small venue. Check it out below.
I just wanted to share with you guys this funny video in which Jimmy Fallon imitates Bob Dylan while singing track "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells". It's short but its funny. Enjoy.
You all probably know that last night concert for hurricane Sandy relief entitled 12-12-12 Concert took place at New York's Madison Square Garden. I didn't get the chance to watch it live because I live in Europe and the concert started at 1:30 am of my time. However, today I watched it and I summarised the most interesting performances of the night for you. So here we go.
Nirvana reunion with Paul McCartney
It was previously announced (one day before the concert I think) that this is happening, but nobody probably didn't know what to expect from this. Living members of Nirvana and ex-Beatle Paul McCartney together played one new song called "Cut Me Some Slack"and it was actually not bad at all. It was heavy and the sound was like Nirvana as we know it. Of course, Paul's voice is different from Kurt's, but still, it was really nice to see Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear perform together.
Roger Waters & Eddie Vedder performed "Comfortably Numb"
Legendary musician and member of even more legendary band - Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, performed four tracks ("In The Flesh", "Another Brick In The Wall Part 1", "Money" and "Us and Them") before he was joined by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder. They performed together "Comfortably Numb" and it was one of the most powerful and memorable performances of the night.
The Who's seven-song set
The Who's performance was really long (unlike The Rolling Stones'), but I don't think anybody minded. They performed seven tracks "Who Are You", "Bell Boy", "Pinball Wizard", "See Me, Feel Me", "Baba O’Riley", "Love, Reign O’er Me", and "Tea and Theatre". I really like the setlist. Especially, performance of my favorite song by The Who - "See My, Feel Me" made me really happy.
Chris Martin & Michael Stipe - "Losing My Religion"
Coldplay' frontman Chris Martin made an solo performance. First he played "Viva La Vida". After that, he was joined onstage by R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and they together performed classic tune "Losing My Religion". It was really nice moment. Martin then finished his set with "Us Against The World".
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performance
The boss and his band kicked off the night with performances of 4 tracks. He played "Land of Hope and Dreams", "Wrecking Ball", "My City of Ruins" and "Born to Run". During the last one, he was joined onstage by Jon Bon Jovi.
Eric Clapton's performance of "Nobody Knows When You're Down and Out"
Eric Clapton performed three songs ("Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out", "Got to Get Better in a Little While" and "Crossroads"), but the best was performance of firstly mentioned.
