Tonight is 50. Someone bake me a cake.

portland wonder ballroom with big business/ jared 2008
seattle showbox with green river and trevor dunn/melvins 83 with dale on bass. 2009
seattle nuemos all ages section with honkey/pinkus 2013
vancouver bc kommodore ballroom with honkey/pinkus (was 19 and "Drinking age" in bc for that one, otherwise wouldve gone to wild buffalo bellingham show a few blocks from my house) 2013
bellingham shakedown just buzzo 2014
bellingham wild buffalo with pinkus and le butcherettes 2014
portland wonder ballroom with big business/ jared 2015


so in the last 7 years ive seen them 7 times. 2010 was vitod by my sister because of her birthday. not making that mistake again. i couldnt go in 2011 because there were no local all ages shows if memory serves me, 2012 was a hectic year and i didnt get around to it which was a HUGE regret (plus i think that one was 21/over also), such a mistake missing melvins lite.

this year i planned to see them in bc, portland, and sf but wifes car accident got in the way of bc and sf. made portland though.

its funny cause to me pinkus was the least favorite bassist for me, and never really felt like a melvins bassist but now that i think of it, hes the bassist ive seen almost every time.


i first got into the melvins in probably 2007/2008 so thats not a terrible track record. theyre the only band ive made an effort/paid to go see.

i saw the stooges in 2007 by miracle of friend buying two tickets and inviting me the night of.

I want to hit double digits now as far as Melvins shows. But discounting Kentucky bands there's no band I've seen more than the Melvins.

Therefore the Melvins win.

I've lost track but would estimate I am somewhere in the 20-30 Melvins shows range. First one was opening for Napalm Death and Neurosis at Maritime Hall in San Francisco on 4/7/99 and my most recent one was at The Ritz in San Jose on 3/19/16. If I had to pick a quick favorite, it would be the 12/29/12 performance at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco; Big Business iteration of the band, killer setlist, plus on my birthday with a solid group of friends.
