1985-10-11 & 1985-10-12 Winnipeg Gig Flyer & Newspaper Review

[hothcanada]

My guess is that there is no available flyer for the Calgary 1985-10-08 show, & this is probably the earliest Melvins show flyer in existence(?)




The Winnipeg audio recording (there's only one) has circulated with the wrong date all along.......

Great thread. Gotta love the fact that even in their  infancy they were still knocking the sox off 80's hair metal douche bag rockers(of course no offense to 80's hair metal douche bag rockers).

Nice find!

just an ironic little side note to this post........

the first Melvins show ever filmed was 1985-10-08 Calgary.

It was filmed by "Jim", who at the time lived in Winnipeg but was visiting Calgary and decided to test out his new video camera --- on the Melvins no less!

So --- had Jim been "home" instead of vacationing in Calgary, the Winnipeg shows probably would have been filmed & not the Calgary show!!

Check out the articles on the wiki for the whole interview.
