Mother Love Bone
Mother Love Bone Live Performance of 'Half Assed Monkey Boy' at Club With No Name, Hollywood
On April 28, 1989, Mother Love Bone delivered an electrifying performance of "Half Assed Monkey Boy" at the iconic Club With No Name in Los Angeles. This live recording came just a few months after the release of their debut album, "Apple," which hit the airwaves in July 1990. The band's sound was a unique blend of glam rock and grunge, paving the way for the Seattle sound that would dominate the early '90s. Interestingly, Mother Love Bone's frontman, Andrew Wood, was known for his flamboyant stage presence and heartfelt lyrics, which imbued their live performances with genuine emotion. Tragically, shortly after this recording, Wood's untimely death would have a profound impact on the music scene, influencing many bands and helping to shape the trajectory of grunge music.
