    Mudhoney, Hooveriii

    If you know Nirvana and Soundgarden as poster groups for early Nineties grunge rock, count neck-breaking sludge quartet Mudhoney as the movement’s less-well-known founding member. Early signees of influential Seattle-born label Sub Pop, the garage punk pioneers land in Austin to celebrate the 35th anniversary of debut Superfuzz Bigmuff. Boasting primal growls on “Sweet Young Thing Ain’t Sweet No More” and slacker sing-a-longs like “Touch Me I’m Sick,” the 1988 collection writhes with pure thrashing angst – or, as their Bandcamp brags, “Anthems that fucked up a generation.” L.A.-based psych-kraut experimenters Hooveriii, of Levitation fest’s auxiliary label the Reverberation Appreciation Society, add additional fuzz.

      Gratitudes with Joy: A Farewell to Austin

      On the 20th anniversary of her father’s death, Austin theater artist and storyteller Joy Cunningham began her gratitude project. The idea was to post stories from her life — often featuring her late parents and brother — in part to practice gratitude, in part to keep alive the stories of those she had lost. Six weeks later, COVID hit. For the next year, almost daily, Joy wrote a gratitude and posted it on Facebook; her hilarious, moving, often astonishing life stories became not just an anchor for her but a lifeline for many hundreds of others. Now, after 38 years, Joy is leaving Austin. Come see her off in her thank-you to Austin and fundraiser for Hyde Park Theatre and ScriptWorks, in which she will read and perform some of her best gratitudes.
