Sure, there were Nirvana songs on the first day of Sub Pop's 20th anniversary bash at Seattle's Marymoor Park. They just happened to be by the Vaselines.

Sub Pop’s Seattle office is plenty nondescript. It’s located above a restaurant in a swank part of the city. There’s no sign on the door. The concierge of my hotel didn’t even know where it was located, and it was directly across the street. But once inside — up a single elevator to the third floor [...]

"We've practiced twice," says Green River guitarist Bruce Fairweather. "The last time was about six weeks ago. Then 25 years ago before that—no, 21 years!" When two members of the band you're reuniting are in Pearl Jam, two others are in Mudhoney, and two more are in ...

Their 1988 six-song EP, Superfuzz Bigmuff (Sub Pop), named after a pair of popular distortion pedals, is now two out-of-control CDs with extra singles (such as the seminal grunge grenade “Touch Me I’m Sick”), demos and live [...]
