  Grunge Music - Malfunkshun
Read More'80s Seattle-band Malfunkshun, along with Green River, is often cited as founding fathers of the northwest grunge phenomenon of the early '90s.
Malfunkshun gained notoriety in the mid-'80s thanks to Andrew Wood's dynamic stage presence as a hippie, glammed-out rock and roll god, equal parts Marc Bolan and Jim Morrison.
Although the band never released a proper album, Return to Olympus, a collection of Malfunkshun's eight-track studio demos as well as some four-track recordings by Wood, was released by former bandmate Stone Gossard on his Loosegroove label in 1995.

 Rough Edge: Malfunkshun CD Reviews
Using glam attitude and spirit, with the musical freedom afforded by the Seattle scene of the late '80s, Malfunkshun created free-form music that bridged the gap between the bombast of '70s rock in the vein of Queen and the '80s raw style and sound of DIY raw rock'n'roll.
Malfunkshun shares more in common with Green River than some of the better known bands that hit it big during grunge's heyday.
While Malfunkshun and "Return To Olympus" may not be 'very metal' it does provide a volume of insight into how rock'n'roll is a primal moving force in the world and hearts of people everywhere.

 GRUNGE LIVES: The Online Guide To Grunge Music
Andrew was relying heavily on drugs to fuel his self-created rock star persona and to compensate for his innate shyness and because of this he entered a rehab program in 1985.
In the mid 80s the Satan worship ideology in metal was big, and Malfunkshun became an "anti-666 band" or a "333 band." From this came "love rock," Andy's own description of their music, which he carried over to Mother Love Bone.
Malfunkshun never released a proper album but in 1995 Stone Gossard released Return to Olympus, a collection of Malfunkshun's eight-track studio demos as well as some four-track recordings by Wood on his Loose Groove label.

We are doing old Malfunkshun material, as well as Devilhead and Fireants stuff and we're doing some new stuff and select covers.
I never understood why they got categorized as grunge and Malfunkshun certainly wasn't grunge because, in fact, Malfunkshun was denied by Sub Pop, they didn't want us on the label, because we were not grunge enough.
That's the way it worked for Malfunkshun for the most part...although I did write a lot of material in Malfunkshun, but most of it was Andy.

Wood described Malfunkshun this way; "Malfunkshun was much more of a blatantly hard rock-influenced band, even though our playing was quite limited." He added that there were little, if any elements of thrash in his new band.

 Portland Mercury - Film - Major Malfunkshun   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Malfunkshun—a documentary by first-time director Scot Barbour—traces Wood's troubled life through heartfelt interviews with friends (including Cornell, Kim Thayil, Gossard, and Ament) and family, and a hefty amount of fuzzy archival video.
But in spite of the participants' tender, powerful recollections, Malfunkshun is a wreck of a documentary—with Barbour relying heavily on long segments of staggeringly cheesy digital collage effects to tie scenes together, all set to Wood's largely middling poetry.
Ultimately, Malfunkshun should serve as a lesson for all aspiring music documentarians—if the music of your subject matter isn't inherently interesting, you better make damn sure you know what you're doing.
