Assuming this tour is Big Melvins/sans Pinkus?

(...fantasizing, however, about 2 drumbers + 2 bassers, because why not...)

Yeah, Pinkus is on tour with Honky right now.

Thanks Butts. Will have to miss this go 'round anyway, looks like. Would have been nice to see the Big Biz boys back. Y'all have fun.

TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fucking stoked. Out in Joshua Tree right now, the Hi-Desert. (just take a look at these images to get an idea of what Joshua Tree is like

Pappy and Harriets is in the middle of Pioneertown, an old stage set for Western movies and TV shows back in the 40s and 50s. Middle of fucking nowhere in the desert. Best kind of place to see the Melvins. As Redd Kross said it two weeks ago at the same venue: "This is our Partridge Family Roadshow!".

I will not be taking video or photos or the setlist (I am horrible with song titles of theirs since the Trilogy - too many albums! hahahah!!! ) I will update on the merch situation.

Looks amazing, have fun!

Show is sold out
What's the likelihood of showing up early and getting tickets?
Anyone have extra tickets?

I need 2
But I can deal with just one and telling other people to piss off...


If not then, well...This will be the third melvins show where I listen and drink in the parking lot...

[John Schuller]

Wish I had an extra. Not sure if they will have extra tickets - but - not a bad venue to listen to the Melvins outside from. Last time I saw them here - I listened to some of the set from the parking lot and it sounded amazing out in the desert.

Scenic!

I love Joshua Tree! (not the album)
I used to climb the humongous boulders out there and camp every winter break as a kid. 
My brother broke his leg out there and I got car sick on that twisty road going out there.
Lovely memories!

The show was stellar. Big Biz killed.

This solidified why I am so glad there are many versions of the Melvins at once. I was someone who got tired of the double drum thing - then had a few shows with just Dale on drums - then two years later get double drums again and holy shit it was insane!!!! Jared has the absolute best bass tone of any Melvins bass player that exists.

Merch was: Melvins Rule You Do Not shirt, Stoner Witch shirt, lots of vinyl and 7"'s including Altamont stuff. Lots of Walsby stuff. No letterpress or Amrep rarities (other than sugar daddy's)
