Mudhoney is an
alternative rock band. Formed in Seattle, Washington, USA, in 1988 following the demise of
Green River, Mudhoney's members are vocalist and rhythm guitarist
Mark Arm, lead guitarist Steve Turner, bassist Guy Maddison, and drummer Dan Peters. Original bassist Matt Lukin left the band in 1999 but briefly returned in 2000 to complete touring obligations. Mudhoney's early releases on Sub Pop; the "Touch Me I'm Sick" single and the Superfuzz Bigmuff EP; were influential in the Seattle music scene, and helped inspire the dirty, high-distortion sound that would characterize
grunge.
