The very beginnings of Mudhoney start out in Bellevue, Washington, a suburb of Seattle.Initially the band was more a joke band than a real band; their first "show" was in class singing Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up" and using rolled up maps as guitars because they couldn't play real instruments.Around this time Mark Arm and friend Steve Turner formed a more serious yet still humorous band, Limp Richerds.Green River recorded their debut EP, Come on Down, in 1985, and it is often regarded as the first true "grunge" record.Rehab Doll), the band decided to call it quits in late 1987.In January 1988, Arm reunited with Turner to form Mudhoney.He and Mark Arm began working on some music along with Bundle of Hiss drummer Dan Peters.They named themselves after the Russ Meyer movie Mudhoney, which none of the band members had actually seen.The single attracted a great deal of attention and the band enjoyed moderate success in the United States.Mudhoney quickly became Sub Pop's flagship band.Sonic Youth, who were fans of the band, had invited Mudhoney to join them for a tour in England in 1989.Following this success the band released their first full length album, Mudhoney, in 1989.Mudhoney's partial success led to a number of other Seattle bands, such as Soundgarden, Nirvana, and Tad, gaining some recognition.However, Mudhoney decided to stay with Sub Pop and they released their second album, Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge, in 1991.After the album's release they were offered a deal with Reprise Records, and they joined the label in 1992.As grunge entered the mainstream, Mudhoney shifted away from their early grunge sound.Mudhoney's first album with Reprise was Piece of Cake, which leaned more towards garage rock than grunge.In 1995, as grunge was fading from the mainstream, Mudhoney decided to return to their earlier sound.In 1996, Mudhoney appeared in the comedy movie Black Sheep, starring Chris Farley and David Spade.Mudhoney's melding of styles would become more pronounced on their following album, Tomorrow Hit Today, recorded and released in 1998.After a few years of touring, Reprise decided to release Mudhoney from their label.However, Mudhoney continued to play a handful of concerts in the Pacific Northwest, and these concerts were doing so well that the band decided to resurrect their careers.In 2002 the band recorded and released Since We've Become Translucent.See also
