The Impact Of Grunge on Seattle

When I moved to Seattle in the early 90's the impact of the local music scene was creating seismic changes to the city and the creative community that fueled its rise in the Global consciousness. The city was a dirty port town that for decades had a mix of military, merchant marine, timber, coal, vice, rain, and airplanes which framed its perspective internally and externally. Tech was just coming up and rents were cheap enough so you could have a truly vibrant mix of artists, workers, and old-money living shoulder to shoulder and sharing ideas as well as good coffee. When Sup-Pop first started releasing music from local artists that would become legendary such ass Nirvana, Soundgarden, Fastbacks, Mudhoney, and more, I was working at a radio station on Boston and was intrigued at the gritty sound that was coming out of the PNW. I never expected that sound to become a global phenomena and neither did the artists making it. in 200 I was asked to make a film about this reality of sudden worldwide fame for these artists and the impact that made on their lives for the just opened EMP, now MoPop. A Museum dedicated to Music and Pop Culture, founded by the late Microsoft Co-Founder, Paul Allen, a very sweet and generous man. RIP Paul. Over 20 years have passed. Seattle and the whole region have changed in ways that only a shamanic visionary could have predicted. Tech is the primary driver of economy and oddly, culture in the city. Boeing, timber, and tourism also thrive. The city still has a bit of that dirty port vibe, but you need to really look for it to see. The Music scene is thriving, but its too expensive for artists to live in the central parts of the city anymore so we look to see what could be coming from other towns nearby. I've been at KEXP/KCMU for almost 30 years and have been playing a major role in the music scene, locally and well as globally throughout that time. In many ways i feel like my work and the scene is just getting started. Tech is changing everything and voices that once couldn't be heard are now starting to have a place on stage. Whenever I travel and tell people I'm from Seattle, this particular time in the music story of the city comes up. I hope you like the film.
