Pachyderm Studios' Cannon Falls property for sale

By Andrea Swensson Fri., Apr. 29 2011 at 8:00 AM

Pachyderm Studios, best known as the recording site of Nirvana's final studio album, In Utero, as well as the place where dozens of local bands holed up in the early- to mid-'90s to record their work, has gone out of business once and for all and the property is now for sale.

The last time we heard anything about Pachyderm was back in March of 2009 when former City Pages staff writer David Hansen wrote a lengthy narrative about the studio's mythological past and shaky future. The studio's original owner had long since abandoned the property, and it was being managed by "mortgage broker, talent agent, and real estate magnate" Matt Mueller, who at the time was barely able to keep the business afloat and seemed disenchanted by the music industry in general.

Now, according to a listing on the Edina Realty website, you can buy the 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom house and the 6-acre Canon Falls property for about $300K.

For reference, here is a list of some of the most notable local and national albums recorded at Pachyderm (you can browse the full list on the studio's outdated website). Fun fact: Trip Shakespeare's Lulu was the first album to be recorded at Pachyderm.

your home stands a great chance of stagnating on the market. Cost low & you may get lots of offers but you'll also risk the chance of not getting a fair cost on your home.

This is what Karma looks like in Action. Before taking over Pachyderm Matt Meuller screwed over a lot of good people and welched on some important debts to them. he hurt people without any concern for the damage done. He was an evil person on stolen time. Screwing with good people only works for shady political figures and corporations with enough money and lawyers to buy off and sell out the impending doom of their own actions. Mat Meuller was neither smart enough or rich enough to stay ahead of his own downfall. It is unfortunate that he destroyed yet another piece of property, some more lives and a legacy doing it but when you invite a rabid dog to dinner, you can not expect the floor to stay entirely clean.

Pachyderm offers wireless high speed internet. The house has full kitchen and laundry. Personal chef and catering services are available. I was so sad to know that that place was gone already. I think John Lennon stay in that place?

I feel very sad to know that place with such a history has gone out of business. I think it is mainly due to fall in the real estate market. Secondly the piracy has left the music industry into the dirt.
