Will Soundgarden Play Sub Pop’s 25th Birthday Bash? It does look like Tad Doyle is yelling “Soundgarden!” in the event’s promo video. I can’t tell who the other “inaudible” acts are (they may well be saying nonsense words).

Any talented lip-readers (or audio engineers) out there who can determine the identities of the other mystery acts?

SOUNDGARDEN B-SIDES & RARITIES MASTERPOST
By popular demand (ok, one person but hey) I have uploaded my very own improvised version of what Soundgarden should’ve released some 16 years ago. It’s separated in four parts: non-album tracks (mostly outtakes and b-sides), covers (both live and studio), demos + remixes + collaborations (i.e. stuff I couldn’t put into the previous two categories) and a little bonus of a few rare Chris Cornell tracks and demos written/recorded during his time with Soundgarden and often falsely attributed to the whole band. All the included tracks are listed below. Some of the songs you can find on various singles or soundtracks or other sorts of rare promotional releases and I highly recommend you hunt those down and buy them (if you have the money of course). If any of the links aren’t working or if you know of something that I haven’t put in here but totally should OR if you just feel like discussing Kim Thayil’s beard and the magical powers it holds, feel free to message me. Enjoy!

We were the last act of the night. There were definitely many people making for the exits when we started playing, because we are loud and aggressive and people in their high heels and their ball gowns probably went to some other function and realized that their evening was over. But there was probably a number of hundred to a thousand that were definitely loosening up their collars and bow ties and getting into us.
