Album - Deep Six


 
Deep Six es uno de las compilaciones más imporantes jamás realizadas durante la historia del grunge y de su escena. La semilla plantalla en los años ochenta se recoge aquí con esta grabación.
 
Fue lanzado en Marzo de 1986 por C/Z Records, es decir, para este histórico sello fue el primer disco publicado. 

Deep Six fue de nuevo remasterizado y publicado en 1994 también con C/Z Records y A&M Records.

Jeff Ament y Mark Arm, de Green River fueron llamado por Chris Hanzsek con el fin de pedirles la publicación. Con el si de ellos, siguieron las demás bandas.

La pareja de Chris por aquel entonces Tina Casale aceptó trasladarse desde Boston a Seattle en 1983. Justo un año después, en 1984, Chris y Tina abrieron los legendarios Reciprocal Studios.

Reciprocal Studios
Chris y Tina acudierions a ver Green River tocar, Soundgarden abrieron a tocar esa noche. A la finalización de esa noche decidieron grabar toda esa música. Mark Arm y Kim Thayil les propusieron añadir otros grupos de la escena, Melvins, Malsunkshun y The U-Men.

Walking Papers


Esta magnifica banda nació en 2012 en Seatlle. Pon atención a la formación:
  • Jeff Angell - Voz y guitarra (The Missionary Position)
  • Duff McKagan - Bajo (Fastbacks, The Fartz, 10 Minute Warning, Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver y Jane's Addiction)
  • Barret Martin - Bateria (Skin Yard, Mad Season, Screaming Trees, Minus 5 y Tuatara)
  • Benjamin Anderson - Teclado (The Missionary Position y Rorschach Test)
Podemos afirmar que esta formación surgió de otras dos bandas de Seattle, Mad Season con Barrett y Duff (reemplazó a John Baker Saunders) y The Missionary Position con Jeff y Benjamin.




Primer LP
Walking Papers publicó su primer álbum homónimo el 2 de Octubre de 2012.

Cuenta con la colaboración de  Mike McCready de Pearl Jam, este es un miembro también de Mad Season como lo es también Barrett.

Jack Endino trabajó en el album, mezclando las grabaciones.

Colaboraciones:
  • Mike McCready como guitarrista participa en la canción "The Whole World's Watching" y "I'll Stick Around"
  • Daver Carter como trompetista participa en "Red Envolopes" y "A Place Like This"
  • Dan Spalding como saxofonista baritono  en "Red Envelopes" y "I'll Stick Around"
  • Ed Ulman como trobonista en "Red Envelopes"


Tras varios años sin actividad, Warning Papers volvió a ponerse en pie. El segundo y último LP se titula "WP2" y fue publicado el 19 de Enero de 2018, aunque su grabación se realizó con anterioridad en 2015 con la formación clásica. Tanto Duff McKagan como Barret Martin no pudieron girar en el segundo álbum por diferentes compromisos. Por esa razón Jeff y Benjamin tuvieron que recomponer la formación.

Esta fue la formación actual :
  • Jeff Angell - Voces y guitarra (desde The Missionary Position)
  • Benjamin Anderson - Teclado (The Missionary Position y Rorschach Test)
  • Dan Spalding - Bajo
  • Will Andrews - Bateria (Ten Miles Wide)
  • Tristan Hart Pierce - Guitarra
  • Gregor Lothian - Saxofón

Mr Epp And The Calculations

Bruce Pavittt, co-founder of Sub Pop, was who first described the Seattle bands with the word grunge in mid 80s, but this definition was created by Mark Arm some years early. 

Mark Arm writte to a Seattle maganize in order to critize his own band, he used for the first time the "grunge" as a noun. That band, the Mark Arm first band was called Mr Epp And The Calculations.

Mr Epp was founded in the early 80's, between 1980 and 1981. The name came from the high school math teacher of John Smitty .

Then, John Smitty (or Jeff Smith) as vocalist, Mark Arm as guitarist and Darren Morey as bassist founded the band, all three went to the same school. Darren's brother friend Peter Wick joined them as drummer.

Maire Masco, co-founder of the maganize Desperate Times, stated that she had to chase Mark and John over the Seattle streets because was hard to get in touch with them, she did not know them and wanted to meet with them. Mark Arm had written a letter to that magazine in order to critizese his own band. The Maire told Mark and John that she wanted to book Mr Epp, then Mark Arm said something like "Oh my God, that mean we have to get instruments".
