STEVE TURNER AND MORE OF HIS BAD IDEAS
Steve Turner is no stranger to fans of Grunge music.
He was the guitarist of seminal Seattle band Green River but best known as a
founding member of Grunge heavyweights Mudhoney who exploded onto the scene
in 1988 pre-dating Nirvana and the genre itself.
As Mudhoney returns to Australia this October, Steve uses the band’s only day off to
play a side show of his solo material.
Miles away from the distorted-fuzz drenched sound of his beloved Mudhoney, Steve
Turner and MORE of his Bad Ideas is more in line with the No Depression
movement of the 1990’s which provided a platform for bands like Wilco, Son Volt and
Whiskeytown earlier pioneered by the likes of Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito
Brothers.
Completely solo on just a guitar – Steve Turner will share some of his Bad Idea with
you in an intimate show at Melbourne’s The Gem
Special Guest – A.C Saunders
