Nice to see they have more shows planned. Not a surprise really. I just hope this new album gets announced really soon. I hate the waiting and anticipation.

YAY!!!! Saturday in Tucson works for me.

Lovely lineup, I've been thinking about visiting Pappy's (and California, for that matter) for years so I just might map this out 

[Alex-]

Hopefully europe is next after this one!

It's amazing! I am hoping this will be an OUTDOOR show though.

Back to the Westcott again. Looks like a lot of smaller towns this run. Might have to pass on this one. Glad I just saw them @ Riverworks w/ Ministry. What are they gonna play, basically 20 min longer of a set than the opening slot for Ministry? Getting to the point where I don't want to drive further west of Buffalo or east of Rochester to see the same few bands year after year(Melvins, Clutch, Primus, etc). Will be Melvins 5th show @ Westcott since 2013. Of course if Walsby's on board the merch will be insane. Walsby's merch stand is the show within the show.
I'm pretty neutral on Helms Alee. They're alright, saw them twice before - 11 yrs ago opening for Big Biz, and on the fall '16 tour w/ Melvins.

I am going to skip the Ministry show and hold out for Long Beach or Pioneertown. Hmmmmmmmmm......Alex's Bar is pretty sweet - but that shit is going to be crowded! Hell, so will Pappy and Harriets.

[))))((((]

I hope NONE of the current setlist songs are in this tour setlist. Well..... bar the new song anyway. Surely the band won't wheel those tracks out yet again! Also when i first read the title of this thread i got excited! The Electric Roach sounds like a Melvins album title and i thought this meant a new album had been announced in conjunction. Hey, i wonder if that Helms Alee collab EP might appear around this point with AmRep. That would make sense right?

Yessss!!! Does anyone know the set list from the Ministry tour? It's quite possible that they'll be rolling out new songs by July when they hit Spokane. Excited for this!

I'm not sure they will outside of Never Say You're Sorry. Being that their albums with Ipecac usually get announced about 3 months before they are released, i can't see anything new (in terms of an LP) arriving in time for the tour to kick off in June. Hell, a new record may not even be announced by then either and when did a band ever release something new mid-way through a tour?? As a result i doubt they will play songs that fans haven't heard yet. That doesn't tend to be a Melvins trait. As for the songs on the Ministry gigs the setlist each night has been...


The Kicking Machine
It's Shoved
Anaconda
Queen
Charlie
Billy Fish
Civilized Worm
Never Say You're Sorry
Evil New War God
Hooch
Honey Bucket
The Bit

Thanks for sending the set list! Oldies, but goodies. Hopefully they'll mix it up and do a Colossus of Destiny type-thing

Might have to drive to Syracuse for this. Only 2 hours west for me.

Couldn't see the Ministry tour as is was Buffalo or Long Island.

Sweet!

They really need to take a break from the BB era album songs which seem to get overly represented.
