One day T-Man went to Doug and said I want to rock- hard! Cool, said Doug. I know a guy named Michael, said T-Man. Cool again. We jammed, Michael stood on the neck of his guitar and 6 Foot Under was born. I know a guy named Geoff said Doug. OK. Blood Circus was born. Many weeks and tons of beer later we played our first Seattle show at the Vogue. We opened for The Obituaries. Johnathan Poneman put his hand over his mouth and said, Subpop wants you. Sure we said. At our second show JP said No, really! More shows, Mudhoney forms, Tad forms, Nirvana opens for us, etc. We released a single (SP 13- combed from our own gig getting demo tape). We tour. We get good reviews and are hailed as gods for a new age of rock (sorry, that was Mudhoney). We play with every band in Seattle, plus The Flaming Lips, Butthole Surfers, White Zombie, SNFU and a bunch we were too fucked up to remember. Primal Rock Therapy (the EP) is released. We do a US tour with the French band Les Thugs (awesome). Bruce Pavitt (Subpop honcho) says if you survive this tour we'll send you to Europe - only problem was Bruce and Jonathan abandoned us for three weeks while we roasted in Phoenix in the middle of August. We don't survive. Geoff throws all our gear (well, not our musical gear, but our suitcases) out the back of our station wagon after a temper-tantrum in the Siskyous brought on by a carburetor in need of rebuild, malnutrition, and a case of the San Francisco flu - also, Geoff has an anger problem. Tad goes to Europe instead and plays a show in Berlin on the night they tear the wall down. Everyone else gets famous, or dead. We slowly grow old and, show up at an anniversary party for all the cool folks at SubPop - the only problem is that we aren't among the cool folks any more, then eventually we all die.(Posted: Jan 21, 1993)
