Mudhoney - formed from the ashes of Green River - were among the godfathers of the grunge sound in Seattle, with their debut single "Touch Me I'm Sick" being their early defining single.
This song was from their 1992 third album and major label debut, Piece of Cake. You can tell they didn't try very hard on this one - but still, the songs were energetic and fun and exciting and..... grungy. This was the big single that got a lot of MTV airplay before grunge faded away with the demise of another band that shall remain nameless.
Mudhoney didn't fade away, though. They kept making grunge music and they kept playing. This performance - on Seattle station KEXP in tribute to Sub Pop Record's silver jubilee - finds the band playing this song.... on top of the Space Needle?
The acoustics weren't bad, honestly.
