tomorrow at the Court Tavern, 124 Church New Brunswick) named their recent album "Superfuzz Bigmuff" for the effects boxes its two guitarists use. So there's no need calling them a guitar band. They play metallic punk rock the way the Stooges and the Sex Pistols intended it good, basic melodies with three-ish chords, no flash, no meandering, lots of distortion and a drummer (Dan Peters) who keeps the beat with the grace of a '73 Chevy Nova. In an age when, so many rock bands have gloom and doom on their minds, what puts Mudhoney over is their conviction that all is not lost. Singer Mark Arm, who formed the band with fellow guitarist Steve Turner after their old band, Seattle's much-loved Green River, called it quits, is in a constant struggle between good and bad, happiness and sadness.
In "If I Think," which sounds like Pink Floyd as done by the Flaming Lips, the singer tries as hard as he can to forget about the girl who devastated him, but can't quite do it. "I opened my eyes, watched the sky turned blue," he sings. "I felt so good I almost forgot all about you." Another song has him "slidin' in 'n' out of grace." As long as Arm doesn't slide off either side of the fence he's sitting on, this could be a great band. East Coast Rocker, a Montclairbased rock music weekly, has launched its 1989 unsigned bands competition, which will award $10,000 to one band early next year. The 1988 winner, Bergen County reggae band No Discipline, was crowned just two months ago at New York's Cat Club and used the prize to finance an album.
For 1989 the contest has been expanded to include semifinal battles of the bands in each of five regions North Jersey, South Jersey, New York City, upstate New York (and Connecticut) and Eastern The East Coast Rocker staff is devoting each of the next five months to listening to tapes from bands in one of those areas.
