That's all I got, lol
Matt Lukin and all the guys from Mudhoney are still there. So is Krist Novoselic. He even holds political office currently I think.
Jack Endino still runs a recording studio, although I think he doesn’t produce as much as he used to.
I forgot how much the music scene is known around here, it's been a minute since I've been exposed to it. I'm glad people are keeping it alive.
Green River, U-Men, Gas Huffer, Skin Yard, TAD…..so many great bands and too many to name. Of course everyone remembers the big 4, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. But they weren’t what defined the scene. Maybe the early releases, but the mainstream albums hit for a reason. I still like it all though.
I’m that weird guy that still buys cassette tapes from Sub Pop haha.
If you get a chance and want to dive into it, then book by Mark Yarm (no relation to Mark Arm lol) called “Everyone loves our town, the oral history of grunge” is super wild. The guy basically interviewed everyone from the U-Men to producers and managers.
Don't hate me, but I never really liked grunge except for some of Pearl Jam. I do know a lot of people that love it, I'll pass the book info on.
No hate here! Music is super subjective. And that era of punk is…….somewhat an acquired taste haha.
Do you follow any of the Seattle communities here? It'd be nice to see one start getting more active.
Unfortunately not! I’m nowhere near as active here as I was on Reddit. Also, I haven’t really looked either! If there’s one I can latch onto, I can certainly pump some info every now and again.
This one seems to be similar to the main at reddit: https://sh.itjust.works/c/seattle@lemmy.world
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !seattle@lemmy.world
Dave Matthews was born in South Africa, grew up between there and East Coast USA and only moved to Washington as an adult because he liked it there.
DMB started in Charlottesville, Virginia, so sadly, he can't be claimed as a "Washington musician." He came here after the fact.
Eddie Vedder is a better fit, as someone whose band originated in Washington, despite Vedder not being from Washington himself, and only ending up in Washington really to join up with Pearl Jam.
All the Washington musicians you named, moved away. We get to claim them now.
That's the point I was making, yes.
This is what I'm referring to, we get Grohl & Hanna back. I mean, if we're keeping track.
On a serious note, we have lost a lot of our artists, but there were decades where most successful or famous artists of all types had lived here at some point in their lives. It was like an incubator. I don't see that happening as much.
The weird thing, so have a lot of major corporations: Amazon, Boeing, Costco, Microsoft, UPS, etc.
