Temple of the Dog – History (part 5): the aftermath
Mother Love Bone gained some exposure in 1992 when the track “Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns” was featured on the Singles movie soundtrack. The Malfunkshun project never saw the light of day, until Stone Gossard and Regan Hagar’s Loosegroove Records released the album “Welcome To Olympus” a few years back. The Shine EP and Apple are out of print and have become highly-sought (and rather pricey) collector’s items; however, there is a compliation of those projects, simply entitled Mother Love Bone that is readily available.
Bruce Fairweather went on to join various Seattle projects, the best-known of whom is Love Battery; Greg Gilmore has had a few lesser-known projects as well.
In June of 1997, a director by the name of Scott Barbour was in Seattle, interviewing Chris Cornell and Stone Gossard for a forthcoming documentary on Andy Wood. The OK Hotel, venue for the very first Mother Love Bone show, hosted a night of music filmed for the documentary; among the bands appearing were Macaw, a new project for Ben Shepherd, formerly of Soundgarden, and Devilhead, which features Andy’s brothers Brian and Kevin Wood.
The music, connections, love and friendships that were the foundations for Mother Love Bone and Temple Of The Dog continue.
