SOUNDGARDEN Confirm Seattle Club Show
April 15, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Monica Herrera from Billboard.com, the newly reunited SOUNDGARDEN will play its first show since 1997 on Friday, April 16 at the Showbox at the Market in its Seattle hometown. It is unknown if the event is private or will be open to the public.
Vocalist Chris Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Ben Shepherd and drummer Matt Cameron have been rehearsing in Seattle in recent weeks as a precursor to their first confirmed reunion performance at Lollapalooza at Grant Park in Chicago on August 8th.
There's no word yet if the band is planning to record new material. But on Saturday as part of National Record Store Day, Soundgarden will re-release its first 7-inch vinyl single, 'Hunted Down' b/w 'Nothing To Say', which originally came out in 1987 on Sun Pop.
