1991 CASSETTE WITH DISCONTINUED GROPING PHOTO/OWN A PIECE OF GRUNGE
HISTORY/ Tad was an American grunge band from Seattle, Washington led
by Tad Doyle. Among the first of the many bands which came out of
Seattle in the grunge era, Tad was notable for the fact that its music
had a noticeable 1970s metal influence, rather than the punk which
influenced most other grunge bands. Although their commercial success
was limited, their music is still highly regarded amongst grunge fans.
Led by Tad Doyle on vocals and guitar, Tad was formed in early
1988 by Doyle and bassist Kurt Danielson, who met while at a Christian
Banquet. They previously played together when Danielson's band Bundle
of Hiss played with Doyle's previous band (in which he played drums)
H-Hour. Doyle had also earlier played in a Gang of Four cover band
called Red Set. They recruited drummer Steve Wied (formerly of Skin
Yard and Death and Taxes) and guitarist Gary Thorstensen
(ex-Treeclimbers) to complete the original lineup.
Tad was among
the first bands to be signed to Sub Pop Records and was possibly the
first pioneer of what was to be later called grunge rock. In 1987,
Doyle had released the "Daisy/Ritual Device" single on Sub Pop,
produced by seminal Seattle producer Jack Endino, for which Doyle wrote
and performed all music. Tad's debut album God's Balls appeared in
early 1989 and was also produced by Endino. In March 1990 the band
released the Salt Lick EP, recorded by Steve Albini. The single "Wood
Goblins" was released in the same year, but was apparently banned by
MTV. After a European tour with Nirvana, Tad returned to Seattle and
recorded their second album 8-Way Santa (1991), named after a type of
blotter acid. Produced by Butch Vig (better known for Nirvana's
Nevermind), the album was far more pop-oriented than its predecessors,
featuring such songs as "Jinx," "Stumblin' Man" and "Jack Pepsi." "Jack
Pepsi" was released as a single, but Pepsi filed a lawsuit against the
band due to the cover art on the single, which was the Pepsi logo with
"Tad" in place of "PEPSI." Another lawsuit was filed due to the cover
of 8-Way Santa (which was a found picture of a man fondling a woman's
breast). The couple in the photograph, one of whom had since become a
born-again Christian and remarried, took exception and sued. Sub Pop
changed the album cover to a group shot. BUT YOU CAN OWN THE BANNED
