New York, NY – June 2, 2014—Soundgarden today announced that Howard Stern’s exclusive SiriusXM channel, Howard 101, will exclusively broadcast the June 2nd concert presented by Citi® at Webster Hall in New York City. The concert will air on June 13 at 10:00pm ET on Howard 101, channel 101 and through the SiriusXM Internet Radio App on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at siriusxm.com. It marks the first time a concert has broadcast exclusively on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM channel, Howard 101. The special date will celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the band’s award-winning album Superunknown and marks the second time in their career the band has performed the album from beginning to end. The reissue package will be available June 3, 2014 via A&M Records/UME and is available for pre-order now.
Soundgarden are internationally recognized as one of the world’s most influential rock bands. With a laudable career and GRAMMY®- winning catalog, the Seattle four-piece started a transformation in rock music that inspired a generation. The band will be performing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on June 3rd and will take to the road this Summer in the US on a special co-headlining tour with Nine Inch Nails in support of their upcoming re-release of Superunknown. A gargantuan #1 hit upon its release on March 8, 1994, the album earned the band two GRAMMY® awards for singles “Black Hole Sun” and “Spoonman.” Rolling Stone’s David Fricke expounds: “The best albums define their time, then transcend it. Superunknown is an honest monument to its era and birthplace. Superunknown is also a heavy masterpiece of vision and backbone, a classic of American, progressive hard rock made by a band that, from the start, always aimed higher and farther than its scene, peers and competition.” Selling over 9 million copies worldwide, the album was certified five times platinum by the RIAA in the United States, making it the band’s most commercially successful album- inarguably helping to redefine alternative rock, leaving an indelible mark on the course of music history. www.soundgardenworld.com.
