After 17 years and still waiting..

Entertainment: Grunge, anyone?


Seattle’s Pearl Jam may head this way next month.

MULTI award-winning American rock band, Pearl Jam, is said to be headed this way for a concert here next month.

Sources told the New Straits Times that a local promoter will be bringing in the legendary Seattle grunge band for its maiden concert in the country.

Pearl Jam is currently busy promoting its ninth studio album, Backspacer, and is touring North America.

The idea of stopping over in Malaysia sounds plausible as the band is scheduled to play in the region soon.

The band has already been booked for performances in Australia and New Zealand next month.

Pearl Jam, formed in 1990, consists of Eddie Vedder who is well-known for his deep and prominent vocals, Jeff Ament (bass), Stone Gossard (guitars), Mike Mc Cready (guitars) and former Soundgarden drummer, Matt Cameron.

One of the most notable grunge bands in the 1990s, Pearl Jam broke into the American grunge scene with its debut album Ten which spawned various hits including one of the band’s most poignant songs to date, Jeremy.

Written by Vedder and Ament, the song was inspired by a true story of a boy of the same name who took his life in front of his school friends.

The band is highly regarded as one of the most influential bands of the ‘90s. The members are known for their dedication to environmental causes and health issues.
