Nearly four months after announcing that Soundgarden would be reuniting after more than a decade-long hiatus, the band surprised their hometown of Seattle with a secret show Friday night at Showbox At The Market.

News first spread of the secret show when a Seattle radio station began tweeting about it and it was later revealed that a band called Nudedragons–an anagram of Soundgarden–would be playing the venue Friday, tickets reportedly sold out in less than 15 minutes.

Soundgarden played a two-hour set for their first show in 13 years in front of 1,000 fans including songs that covered a vast range of the band’s material.
