Mudvayne's Biography
Forged in Peoria, Illinois circa 1996, the nü-metal quartet Mudvayne became a staple of the paint-your face, jump-up-and-down, gargle-growl-sing lot when their Epic debut, L.D. 50 was sprung upon the masses in August of 2000. The members — Kud (C. Gray; vocals), Gurrg (G. Tribbett; guitar), sPaG (M. McDonough; drums) and Ryknow (Ryan Martinie; bass) — all take pride in their purported lack of formal musical training and abilities to stand out in the diet metal crowd. Their colorful comic book arch-villan approach to presentation has made their live performance and videos quite unique, and by design, most information pertaining to the members remains a mystery. The psychotheraputic influence of Stanley Kubrick’s movies weighs heavy on their dark, shattering sound. Their follow-up, The End of All Things To Come was released in 2002.

The line was out around the building, but I got in early enough to secure a good seat at The Brick Works' balcony bar. I usually try to get myself in the churnin' and burnin' of the pit, but tonight, as the fates would have it, I'm nursing a leg injury and must just watch the madness from above. T... read more
