Band history
Mr. Epp and the Calculations
The very beginnings of Mudhoney start out in Bellevue, Washington, a suburb of Seattle. While at Bellevue Christian High School, Mark McLaughlin (later known as Mark Arm) and some friends started Mr. Epp and the Calculations, a band named after a math teacher of his. The band was more a joke band than a real band; their first “show” was in class singing Marvin Gaye’s “
Got To Give It Up” and using rolled up maps as guitars because they couldn’t play real instruments. “Mr. Epp” finally played their first show three years after they formed in 1981. Around this time Mark Arm and a friend of his, Steve Turner formed a more serious yet still humorous band, Limp Richerds. Mr. Epp appeared on KZAM-AM radio and were introduced being called “the worst band in the world”. They played their last show on February 3, 1984 with Malfunkshun at the Metropolis in Seattle.

Lester Bangs used the term in the 70s in a piece he wrote when describing the sound of the MC5.

and there are several theroys of who coined the term, but yes mark arm was one of the people thought to have first use it. A band he played in before Mudhoney/Green River was given a mad review and the guy called them something like "pure shit, pure grunge, pure crap" so after that when people asked him what kind of music he played he said grunge. But i'm not sure if that actually happened.

haha, a true grunge gig? I never considered mudhoney a "grunge" band (they deserve better than that tag), just a great punky & garagey rock'n'roll band. the records they've released the last 15 years sound anything but grunge to my ears.
