Soundgarden Reunion Planned for 2010 – ABC News
NEW YORK (Billboard) – Soundgarden will reunite for concerts in 2010, according to a Twitter message from frontman Chris Cornell which directs fans to a new Web site, Soundgardenworld.com.
The Seattle rock quartet — Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Ben Shepherd and drummer Matt Cameron — has not played live since splitting up in the spring of 1997.
Sources tell Billboard the group is weighing offers from several major U.S. and international festivals, but a tour routing is still a work in progress, due to Cameron’s prior commitments to play with Pearl Jam in the spring and summer.
Cameron has been Pearl Jam’s permanent drummer since 1998; that group recently announced its first North American date of 2010 as part of the second weekend of New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (April 29-May 2), and will also play 10 European shows from June 22 in Dublin through July 10 in Oeiras, Portugal.

Ocean Fix
As a child, we did not have Cable HDTV’s, Super Malls or iPhones so for entertainment, we hang out the beach. I remember peeling off sunburned skin. A lot of mangos, pineapples and coconut drinks. I still go to beach for my ocean fix. The sound of the waves are hypnotic and calms my spirits. My amateur video was taken during the fall of 2007 at Ocean Shores, Washington. It’s a 2 hour drive from Seattle on Highway 101 next to Aberdeen.
Capitol Hill
The kids during the early 90′s when we lived in the Central District of Seattle. I left the painting (shown above) in a pile of stuff i decided to leave or give away. It’s a large pastel painting on canvas. We were leaving our 6 bedroom rented home into a 2 bedroom tiny apartment. No room for a studio. The kids are all grown and we moved into a slightly larger home. I really miss having a studio in the city.
