The Mudhoney summit
Ladybug Transistor recently met with members of legendary grunge outfit Mudhoney in Moscow to discuss bringing peace between the two groups. All day negotiations were held backstage at the Gauloises Avant Fest to little avail. Talks broke down when bassist Julia Rydholm suggested the two parties work out their differences on the soccer field. Mudhoney proved no challenge for the Ladybug team who defeated the Seattle combo in a penalty shootout. Singer Mark Arm was quoted as saying "Ladybug's victory today was very disappointing for us and may have put the Moscow accord in serious jeopardy". Talks are scheduled to resume when members of Mudhoney take Ladybug guitarist Ben Crum to visit Butterball skateboard in Seattle later this month.
