Looking the other way, this must be the summer of 98 as I had the Brazil world cup jersey, which was then lost at an August festival the next month while off me nut on Es.



For a few years the taste in proper music was interrupted by xtc and trance clubs, before being properly restored a few years later.

Word

But ya gotta admit on a totally different genre was Portishead's 'Dummy' album.

Cool! Good pics that your sister took, lucky her.

The 90's grunge I still think of bands like, Sonic Youth which was mentioned, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, R.E.M, Radiohead and Foo Fighters. No music like the 80's and 90's I believe.

She didn't take them, she was 16 and at the bar being groomed/poured drinks by some older boyfriend.

Brilliant album.


7am Saturday morning
smoking blunts whilst coming down in the living room of a house party.

Portishead and Massive Attack.

Then to the early-house for a breakfast pint of stout before going home to try to sleep at 11am before doing it again Saturday night.

I went to the first Lollapalooza back in '91, it was an off the chain crazy show and Jane's headlined that festival. One of the crazier experiences of my life for sure.

Aw yes, I discovered Portishead late in life (actually looking at when it came out, it was just in time)
I was in my first year of uni and had a lot of good sex, alcohol and pot that year listening to portishead. lol

I first saw Nirvana in about '89. Had never heard of them and they were backing up Mudhoney and Screaming Trees. Saw them another 2 times in the following years.

I was at that show. In Enumclaw, Washington if I recall correctly.

Heard of them, I think they were about a decade before Nirvana. Babysat some friends kids so they could go to the concert in Melbourne. Friends came back and said concert was shit, band were all wasted.

They were the same era as Nirvana and Pearl Jam they just never got full on superstar status. They toured and were friends with an aussie punk band named Cosmic Psychos. Check out this vid of Eddie Vedder and Matt Lukin. They are at Matts house in West Seattle. Matt was the original bassist for The Melvins talking about the Cosmic Psychos...

Not my favorite PJ song. The reason being is the radio back in those days played it to death.

They were both, and it all gets more complex and incestuous with these bands because so many of them played in the same or different bands together. For example, Pearl Jam probably would have never existed if Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone hadn't OD on Heroin in 1990 because Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament were members of that band. It was only after Andrew died that they formed PJ.

Yeah, that’s the truth. And obviously some overlap between the 80s and 90s as well

Mudhoney's drummer Dan Peters also played with Nirvana before Dave joined, as a temp. His only recording is Sliver. Dave joined and did the video for it.

Speaking of the Pixies, Frank Black played at my first ever Festival in 1994. RHCP headlining, Soundgarden pulled out at the last minute, Therapy?, Terrorvision, and Ice Cube of all people also on the bill. The RHCP dressed as giant lightbulbs and put on a great show, back when they were full of energy and not pumping out slow rock songs for the masses.

They headlined Reading 94 a few days later on the same festival run.
