Seaweed was an American band from Tacoma, Washington who was active throughout the 1990s. Their style of music is a combination of various rock sub-genres, including grunge and post-hardcore. I heard about these guys back in the mid-90s when my good buddy Bob Bikel had their CD and I heard Start With. When I started to play bass, the beginning of this song was one of the first things I figured out how to play without tablature even though it was on guitar. I got Aaron on the Skype and this is what we talked about:  The early 90s Tacoma scene His thoughts on playing in Seattle at the time Being on Sub Pop Records Free records for life from Sub Pop Flannel shirts His thoughts on their record Spanaway The story about the green lighter on Spanaway And a ton more  This starts off with us talking on his computer and then I had to call him so the audio is all over the place. And then in the middle, he had to jump off so we continued the conversation a week later. Check out his latest band Ghost Work with members of Snapcase, Minus the Bear, and Milemarker.
