Surviving Soundgarden members Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd, and Matt Cameron met in Seattle on Sunday night as their reunion performance in Los Angeles is only a few weeks away.
Matt Cameron wrote on Instagram, “Great night with my dudes Ben and Kim! #soundgarden.”
The surviving members of Soundgarden will reunite to perform in Los Angeles at the Chris Cornell ‘I Am The Highway’ tribute show on January 16, 2019, their first performance together since May 17, 2017 in Detroit. The band will perform with guest singers, including Thayil and Cameron’s MC50 bandmate Marcus Durant.
Kim Thayil discussed the one off reunion performance in a Forbes interview.
“I think Matt [Cameron], Ben [Shepherd] and I will collectively decide which songs we’ll throw our best fist forward. The lineup was put together by Vicky [Cornell, management and the booking agents all with our approval. The only people on the bill are people that Soundgarden members approved of.”
When asked if there was ‘excitement’ about getting to perform Soundgarden material again, Thayil said there was.
“Yeah, there will be. I’m looking forward to doing some of these songs with Marcus Durant, who is the singer with this MC50 project we’re doing.”
