Mark Arm: Well, a lot of marginal bands got signed, but, I mean, that’s always the case! Most of the bands that get signed are marginal bands, and every once in a while a marginal band will win the lottery. People always talk about how all these bands started moving to Seattle in hopes of getting signed, and I can’t think of one band that moved to Seattle and signed to a record label that had any success. There were the Stone Temple Pilots, who started out by aping Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam, but they didn’t move here…and then there was the Australian fake Nirvana, Silverchair, you know, the little kiddie version— they sure were cute.
