0 [SHOW ALERT] Melvins Return To Seattle in July + Other Stuff

The Melvins have been in studio completing their next record, and are already preparing for a descent sized tour of the US. Much of the tour will see the mighty Melvins sharing a bill with the mighty Isis, unfortunately that's not the case for the newly announced Seattle show on July 6th at Showbox at the Market. Do we really need Isis to play with the Melvins for it to be an awesome show? Nah. Just a nice to have.

The Melvins have also been confirmed to be taking part in this years Bonnaroo festival in early June along with Isis. I will be sure to bring you coverage from that sweaty pit in Manchester, Tennessee as well. There is no way I'm not gonna go balls out apeshit on that farm. You might end up seeing me on the Internet as one of those crazed mud people covered in Gwar blood, we shall see.

Below is the show info, a funny video of the SNIVLEM fucking around in the studio, a link to a killer video interview with Buzz (must watch), and the info on a recently released 12" EP.

That should get you up to date. Boink.

Fun in the studio with the Melvins:

From The Nursery, artist/writer Bob Nickas' new label has just released a new Melvins 12" EP(as far as I know the label has no website). - "A limited edition three-track 12-inch EP from MELVINS featuring a long version of “Dies Iraea” and a remix of “It Tastes Better Than The Truth” on the A-side (performed by the line-up of KING BUZZO, DALE CROVER, JARED WARREN and COADY WILLIS in 2008), and a 9-minute version of The Wipers’ “Youth of America” on the flip (featuring Buzz, Dale and KEVIN RUTMANIS, recorded by TIM GREEN at Louder in 2000). None of these tracks have appeared on vinyl prior. Limited to 2,000 copies (with 1,500 for distribution) pressed on silver/gray vinyl, with artwork by STEVEN PARRINO. Named “Record of the Month” in the February, 2010 issue of Vice Magazine." Best place to get it right now is Midheaven.

Tracklisting:

1.Dies Iraea (long version)
2.It Tastes Better Than The Truth (remix)
3.Youth Of America

1 [VIDEO] "Crown of Thorns" @ Hootenanny for Haiti + Mother Love Bone Reunion?

God damn this was good! Easily a major highlight of a night of so many as Shawn Smith, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Duff McKagen, Gary Westlake, Matt Cameron and friends brought Mother Love Bone's best song to life. I got chills! The awesome video below was posted on YouTube by Outlawdigitalmedia.

By the way, what do you notice about the concert info below regarding the just announced Brad/Satchel/Hank Khoir show at the Showbox April 14th? That's right the evening also seems to feature all the remaining members of Mother Love Bone! It just so happens that this show is happening right around the time that would mark the 20 year anniversary of Andrew Wood's death (March 19th, 1990) by overdose thus ending the short life of the band. With Shawn Smith stepping in so amazingly at the Hootenanny, I'm thinking this night could end of being very special indeed. There is a pre-sale for Ten Clubbers, for everyone else tickets go on sale this Friday.
