Sub Pop’s 20th anniversary festival, SP20, continues through Sunday. And for Friday’s GO, I wrote about how proto-grunge band Green River (featuring members of Mudhoney and Pearl Jam) will perform for the first time in 21 years tomorrow at Redmond’s Marymoor park. You can read that story here or get up to speed on all the people Mark Arm is talking about in the clips below here. Otherwise, just click away and get a little grunge history lesson.

Pt. 1: It's been a long time, disappointing Pearl Jam fans

Pt. 2: Forming the band and how he and Steve Turner “totally stalked” Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament

Part 3: Why Green River broke up, unknowingly to the future joy of grunge fans everywhere

Part 4: The enduring legacy of Sub Pop, which buddies Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman founded 20 years ago … Or is it 30?

Proto-grunge band Green River was (in this '80s photo) Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Mark Arm, Bruce Fairweather and Alex Vincent.
