Product Information

On October 30, !K7 Records will release Mudhoney: Live In Berlin, 1988 on DVD. Filmed by a professional camera crew at 1988’s Berlin Independent Days festival, Live In Berlin, 1988 captures the Seattle grunge pioneers’ first ever performance on foreign soil. Playing as representatives of Sub Pop Records to a crowd of curious punters, critics and members of Europe’s independent music community, the show was also the first Grunge gig in Europe, laying essential groundwork for Grunge’s subsequent global domination. A testament to the enduring vitality of the independent music scene, the release celebrates the 27th anniversary of !K7, a Berlin-based independent label and distributor with offices in New York and London, and an internationally renowned purveyor of electronic music in particular. In its early days, !K7 also served as a video production company run by label-owner Horst Weidenmüller, whose crew filmed a number of performances from that year’s Berlin Independent Days festival. Weidenmüller recently rediscovered the Mudhoney footage, realising that he held in his hands a crucial rock’n’roll document that had to be shared with the world.

Rezensionen

,,"Live in Berlin 1988" präsentiert Mudhoney in der noch geteilten Hauptstadt, als sie beim Berlin Independent Days Festival ihren ersten Auslandsauftritt mit energiegeladenem Enthusiasmus absolvieren. (...) Lässig donnert die Band rustikale Teenage-Angst-Hymnen wie ,,Touch Me I'm Sick" und ,,Here Comes Sickness" raus. Und man reibt sich verwundert die Augen, warum ausgerechnet diese Pioniere leer ausgingen." (musikexpress, März 2013)
