A pretty damn good cd came out on Tuesday, the soundtrack to a film about Kurt Cobain called About a Son. The soundtrack has no music from Cobain or any of his bands, instead it's mostly music he was listening to from bands he was fans of.
Very few bands had as much influence on Kurt than the Melvins, and very few bands had as much college radio street cred the years before Nirvana broke than Mudhoney.
Both the Melvins and Mudhoney are on About a Son, and Saturday the two bands play together at the Henry Fonda. We want you to go.
Find out what hoops we will make you jump through after the jump.
