HOT LUNCH & MUDHONEY at SLIMS

I have had this date marked on my calendar since I found out about it. My bro Erics band, Hot Lunch opening up for one of my all time favorites, Mudhoney. I have lots of Mudhoney stories, no not like that. Just random connections and past epic moments with either their songs being played or seeing them live or whatever. One that sticks out the most, is their live show at the Warfield in 1992 where I believe they played with The Supersuckers. I got shit face drunk, lost my wallet, and the next thing you know, Mark Arm is up on stage saying, “I found someone’s drivers license. His name is Greg Smith. Yeah right, Greg Smith that could be anybody, that could be my brother…” Later it turned out that the entire Warfield show was being filmed and used for a Mudhoney VHS video that I obviously bought and have watched that segment countless number of times. Anyways, enough about me here’s Hot Lunch and Mudhoney putos…

Ok, just one more. Look at the intensity on Rob as he’s about to hit the shit out of his drums. Meanwhile, Sheabones holds himself up with the mic stand as his right hand casually tilts back a twelve ounce bottle of Anchor Steam to help with the hydration proces…
