Friday, Oct. 3: "I'm Now: The Story of Mudhoney"

Capitol Theater

By Volcano Staff on September 29, 2014

Mudhoney, while beating its fellow flannel-powered pedigree to the punch - Sub Pop released vinyl anthem "Touch Me, I'm Sick" and Superfuzz Bigmuff 12 months before Nirvana's Bleach and three years before Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten - has never had a chart topper, but the group has a following more loyal than a mob family. A Friday screening of I'm Now: the Story of Mudhoney film should get folks chatting up Mudhoney again. Full of the same nasal yowls and shag-carpet riffs that made the band a Northwest favorite during the grunge daze, the film will screen with one of the greatest cult flicks of all time - 1979's Rock & Roll High School featuring The Ramones in their prime - at the Capitol Theater. Mudhoney guitarist Steve Turner and I'm Now director Ryan Short will hang for a post-film Q&A.

I'M NOW/ROCK & ROLL HIGH SCHOOL, 6:30 p.m., Capitol Theater, 206 Fifth Ave., Olympia, $7-$10, 360.754.6670
