Video: Soundgarden perform live on Later…with Jools Holland


With their new album ‘King Animal‘ due for release this month, Soundgarden were in London last night to appear live on Later…with Jools Holland, when they fittingly aired ‘Been Away For Too Long‘ (below).

After frontman Chris Cornell confirmed Soundgarden’s reunion back in January 2010, the band will release their first album since 1996’s ‘Down on the Upside‘ on the 13th of this month, a record described by guitarist Kim Thayil as re-establishing “…that we still rock, we’re still heavy, and we’re still a little weird.” Ahead of its official release, the album has been made available to stream in full over on iTunes.

As previously reported on Live4ever, Soundgarden will return to London on Friday (November 9th) for a gig at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire – a venue they officially opened 18 years ago.

Earlier this summer, they also headlined what could prove to be the last Hard Rock Calling festival staged in Hyde Park along side fellow US heavyweights Paul Simon and Bruce Springsteen.
