Bundle of Hiss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bundle of Hiss were a grunge band formed in 1980 in Seattle, Washington by pre-Tad member Kurt Danielson and vocalist Russ Bartlett. They featured various guitarists and drummers before finally settling on Dan Peters and Jeff Hopper. Hopper later left the band a few months after joining and was replaced by Jamie Lane, whom met Kurt Danielson at the University of Washington. In 1986, Russ Bartlett left the band to pursue a solo career. Jamie Lane then took up vocals and guitar. The band recorded demo tapes and passed them on to fans at their shows and fellow Seattle bands, such as Soundgarden and The Melvins. In 1988, the band split up to go separate ways. Kurt Danielson formed his new band Tad with former drummer Tad Doyle. Dan Peters became drummer in a somewhat-short lived local band project called Feast, which disbanded shortly after he joined. After Feast broke up, Peters met up with Mark Arm and Steve Turner to form Mudhoney. In 2000, Bundle of Hiss re-released an old demo tape on Loveless Records called Sessions-1986-88.
