Guitarist Kim Thayil turns 53 today. I found this interview (it's actually a spoof promo) that is in my opinion is so odd and uncomfortable that it's funny!
Did you know that Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd nearly became a member of Nirvana? Before either Soundgarden or Nirvana became grunge legends, Shepherd almost became Nirvana's second guitarist, but the band chose instead to remain a three-piece until the addition of Germs strummer Pat Smear.
Last fall, Soundgarden played one of their more spirited shows in Los Angeles during the group's recent 'King Animal' trek, and luckily, the cameras were there to catch it. The band's blistering set will appear on the upcoming season of the long-running series, 'Live From the Artists Den.'
Soundgarden have unplugged their instruments a few times in recent weeks and one such performance recently took place at Los Angeles radio station KROQ as frontman Chris Cornell and bassist Ben Shepherd teamed up for a pair of acoustic performances highlighting their past and present.
Soundgarden are getting in on the Record Store Day (April 20) fun by releasing a limited edition vinyl featuring their 'King Animal' demos. This will be the first time these recordings have been available together on one release and will give listeners a peek at how some of the material from their recent album sounded early on.
Today's cage match we are going to try to knock Soundgarden from the throne with a high powered 80s rocker. Because next week we will delve into the '80s in the Cage Match.

Sequenced in yet another month-long block, Soundgarden are confirmed to perform a sweet cluster of North American shows beginning on May 3 in Atlantic City, N.J.
