Through the summer of 1990 there was a big buzz about Nutmeg in London as the band to see for a fun time. The arrival of US bands such as Soundgarden, The Screaming Trees and Mudhoney, who professed the influence of late-’60s/early-’70s British rock groups suddenly made Nutmeg seem ever so contemporary. In 1991 Nutmeg were signed to Hawkwind’s management agency. Despite the evidence of “Electric Putty”, A&R men still saw Nutmeg as “only” a live act. Nutmeg announced their disbandment and played their farewell gig at The Junction in Cambridge on August 1st, 1992. Nutmeg have reformed for one-off gigs several times, the last being 2020. Nutmeg earnt a place in rock history and really deserved to make it. They are certainly a fondly remembered part of UK rock history.
