"The Melvins will also be playing shows this spring backing ex-Dead Kennedy Jello Biafra in Australia."

Last I heard was that they were bringing Big Business with them, so maybe it'll be The Melvins, Jello and Big Business all on the same bill?

Will be good to see them regardless - been over 2 years which is a while for the melvins coming to Aus!

According to this interview with Greg Werckman from tensticks.com....

The Melvins are going to rerecord Houdini with Trevor Dunn on bass.

It's on the Dope Guns and Fucking In The Street compilation.

And yes, it's a great song!

they couldnt of had more than 10 copies, it looked like
a white label test pressing, i thought at the time it may have
even been a Mark D thing since he was manning the merch table

Do you know if Marching Daisies is a Mlevins track?  I guess it might be an early/different version of a known song with a different name.

I think we'll be lucky to find someone with one of these....

Thanks for the info.
Should get it added to the singles page in the discography...

the Marching Daisies/Going Blind 7" from Gearbox Mailorder

Never heard of it and it's not listed in any Melvins discographies.

Got any more info please?

Ta.

Dub remix of He'd Send In The Army.  Anybody heard it?
Available on the Japanese import of Return The Gift

Now, what would be REALLY cool is if they re-recorded someone else's entire album. Melvins play "Wish You Were Here" or "Rubber Soul" or "Kill Em All" or "Daydream Nation" or even "Thriller". THAT would be cool.  Just my opinion.

I think that sort of stuff should be left to hippy jam bands....

Stag is also in stock over here: http://www.stonerrock.com/store/

Hey guys... anyone know if jello and the melvins might be coming to australia?? they were here with fantamos and tomahawk earlier this year.....bloody good they were.

Apparently they're coming in April according to an interview with Jared from Big Business posted somewhere on this board.

Can't wait!

hmmm.... i definitely agree with you on that V!!
rather lame to use a google earth pic for your album cover.

anyway, i heard quite a while ago melvins/isis were doing a split 7".
i can't seem to see any news about anything involving the melvins on their site... i can scroll through the dates on the far left, but not the actual news text. ...fuckin' 56k!!!! 

Umm... it's not actually a google earth pic on the album cover - it was only posted due to the similarity.

The relevant text from the Isis site is:

There are a few other things we plan to work on in the coming months including... a split with the Melvins

Thanks for that.  A fun interview with Nardwuar "The Human Serviette"   

Australian tour!   Fantastic news   

Thanks for posting that.

I found the Leech bootleg in Soulseek about a couple of weeks ago, two songs sounds weird in the beginning ("Venus In Furs" and "Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More"), my "expert" opinion: the turntable has some problems in the first spins.

That bootleg is known to be recorded at the wrong speed.  (Too fast I think)

Soundboard recording already up here thanks to the legendary Mike Ziegler: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=67568

Melvins set only at this stage, but Jellvins may follow.
