I received a press release today telling of another great show happening in Seattle. This one is in celebration of a book being released October 15th called GRUNGE which features the photographs of one time Sub Pop photographer Michael Lavine. The show features grunge legends Mudhoney, with support by Brothers of the Sonic Cloth featuring Tad Doyle, and the Hardly Art's Unnatural Helpers. The bill speaks for itself, and it sounds like the book will be pretty sweet as well. See you there!
Excerpt from the Press release:
"During the grunge era, when Sub Pop records reigned, Michael Lavine was one of two primary photographers enlisted by the label to visually record the bands that defined the movement. He captured grunge’s genesis in the late eighties and nineties while living in Olympia, WA and then served as the label’s go-to photographer for shooting bands on the road after moving to NYC. His images depict not only the looks that would come to influence fashion around the world, but the spirit of the music, and the people who created it.
Bands featured in GRUNGE include Mudhoney, Beat Happening, Smashing Pumpkins, Boss Hog, and of course Nirvana. Given ample space too are the grunge “kids” who were arguably more important to the subculture than any platinum selling artist. Many of the photographs included in GRUNGE have never before been published. Thurston Moore (who introduced Kurt Cobain to David Geffen, resulting in the release of Nevermind) writes about Seattle punk youth, the seminal bands that defined the movement, as well as the death of his longtime friend, Kurt Cobain."
