Mudhoney, Birds of Avalon, One Eyed Jacks, 10pm, $18. Any elitist worth his/her flannel will most likely have something to say about pioneer grunge band Mudhoney’s new album, The Lucky Ones. These Seattle natives were the ones that Kurt Cobain cited as an inspiration but then they totally, like, sold out in 1992 when they went to Reprise Records. They went back to Sub Pop in 2002 but released Since We’ve Become Translucent, which was so commercial and had nowhere near the raw power of Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. Under A Billion Suns came out four years later and had a more progressive rock sound. Some critics applaud Mudhoney for growing, others say the band has simply sold out and is washed up. Whatever their opinions are of Mudhoney’s recorded music, skeptic and elitist alike are still itching for the show. What would it be like? Will they stick to their new, prog rock-style stuff? Will they play “Touch Me, I’m Sick?” Whether you’re praying for disappointment so you could tell everybody that you called it or secretly hoping the show will make you feel like you’re sixteen again, this show is worth checking out because, you know, it’s, like, Mudhoney! —Caroline DeBruhl, Photo by Shawn Brackbill
