On March 11, 1989, Mudhoney topped a bill that featured their Sub Pop label mates, Soundgarden. Though Mudhoney had released a string of singles and an EP, as of the date of this gig, they had yet to release their debut self-titled studio album, which was released in November 1986.  In December 1988, the group released a highly anticipated split single with Sonic Youth. Prior to the release of Mudhoney's "Touch Me I'm Sick" single in March 1988, Bruce Pavitt sent a five-song Mudhoney tape to Sonic Youth for the band's opinion. Sonic Youth immediately proposed a split single where each band covered the other. Sonic Youth covered "Touch Me I'm Sick", while Mudhoney covered Sonic Youth's "Halloween".
