When they were playing slow and heavy, they had that feel that The Melvins had at the time, but they also played very fast and chaotically. Later in their career, they started embracing more of these beautiful elements like psychedelic music. But there’s a natural progression in their growth that I think could have paralleled Soundgarden for part of its career. “ http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/dc9/2011/10/soundgardens_kim_thayil_talks.php Jul 19, 2011 A documentary (DVD released by Universal) about the life and work of Andrew Wood entitled Malfunkshun: The Andrew Wood Story debuted at the Seattle International Film Festival. http://malfunkshun.com Oct 25th, 2011 PJ20 Documentary by Cameron Crowe mentions Andrew Wood the original lead singer of Malfunkshun and the brother of Kevin Wood in the opening segment.
