Finally got back home... fuck that was a horrible flight - I was still drunk from last night.
I'll let The Fool, MOP (where's my beer mofo? :)) and the rest to write about the shows (how was the first one btw?) and will upload some photos with a few words later tonight. I'm going to bed.

Ok I can't really fall asleep so I wrote a few random facts about last night:
1. It was fucking hot in Melbourne yesterday - FACT!
A top of 39c and it was still 35c when I landed at 18:00. Buzz, Dale and Trevor looked like they were struggling with the heat and you can't blame them. At the end of the show my shirt was so wet I could have used it to break the Australian drought. Check out in my pics later how Dale is trying not to touch me... :)
2. There are more Melvins fans in Melbourne than in Sydney
Was this a cool review? FACT!
The poster prices are a surprise; I guess if they can sell them for that, why not..
thanks MJ!
Ok here are some pics:
1. After Dinner we went record shopping but didn't buy anything...

Awesome review! That pictue with Dale is a classic.
All i can really say about last night's gig is that it was probally one of the best i've ever been to. I'm not just saying that because it was the Melvins either. The whole night was really damn good.
Actually, i can probally say some stuff.
I got to the ding dong around 8ish, line was huge. We decided to go and have a beer somewhere else first. Paid $5 for a really crap beer. Anyway, we walked back to the venue, line was still huge. Waited for a long time before we finally made it in, the whole time i was freaking out out that my tickets might have fucked up and they weren't going to let us in. So yeah, basically i then spent the entire Melvins set standing about 1 metre away from Buzz. The best spot i've ever had at any show.
Sorry MJ i didn't get to buy you that beer but from seeing your photos i think i actually i saw you at the gig. I unfortunately didn't get to meet anyone from here which was probally the only downer of the night, besides the crap $5 beer.
Sorry if this post is nonsense i'm a bit delirious from the heat and my lack of sleep over the last few days.
Maybe i'll be able to add more later. Oh, and we got some really good photos that i'll put up once my friend sends them to me.
MJ, thanks for another great review! You guys have seen them play Houdini, I'm jealous! :D
Moss, Dale, Trevor.... Porn could have played!
And yeah Goin' Blind is a goddamn great song.
awesome,thanks guys!
The reason the posters were so expensive, is because the guy who made them (angryblue) only made 60 copies of the white version, and 55 of the cream. $50 AUD is not expensive, considering they will go for around $30 - $60 USD on his site from today, I don't think Melvins would of made much money at all from them.
www.angryblue.com
PS. Great show, my forth melvins gig and probably the best.

Yeah, i heard quite a few people complaining about the price. I was happy to pay the $50 for mine.
Fuck- I saw you guys all night MJ! We just kinda looked at each other oddly each time we passed. ...I was right there when you were getting your photo taken with Dale!
I truly am The Fool!!!
I'm the skinny geeky looking guy that was wearing the yellow 'Dreamers' (Zorn project w/TD on bass) t-shirt which seemed to attract all kinds of attention from people. Wish I wasn't such a shy prick and I had a chat to you guys, as well as Trevor, Dale and Buzz.
Even half pissed I couldn't summon the courage to harass Dale or Trevor the many times I had the opportunity to- inc. when they were walking down the lane between shows. I didn't want to interrupt the conversations they were having with people such as yourself, though I did shake Dale's hand and told him the Melvins and Fantomas shows were all fucking great eventually. I guess nice guys really do finish last!
I did yell out to alert Trevor, Dale and those talking to them that they were about to be mowed down by a cab in the lane between shows though, so I'm happy about that as that could have really put a downer on the night's events!
Both Melvins shows were sensational though at the early show the crowd was alot seemed alot more sedate and alot of people seemed bewildered by alot of things- esp. Okie from Muskogee which Buzz did alone after Spread Eagle Beagle.
That's hilarious about those 'headbangers' too- I'm sure at least one of those guys you're referring to was my best friend, and the other could well have been another friend that came with us to both shows.
...That has to be the back of my best buddy's head in photo 7 if that's one of the guys you are talking about!!! :lol:
Got the Melvins poster from Moss before the early show from near the dj, then scrambled for the Fantomas one that Moss told me there was only 4 or 5 of ) when after the second show when I saw they were selling htme all from the stage.
Got the last Fantomas poster, though my buddy bought one for me- then sold it to a girl that was looking at me like I was the devil for having one, so all worked out cool- apart from Fuller from BD who was really pissed we didn't think to get him one of the Melvins posters.
Worth every cent of the $50ea to me! :wink:
I guess I didn't spend $100's travelling interstate though, or even much on drinks since I rarely drink.
5 bourbon and coke's during the whole night and I was wasted!
No smoke for me lately, and being so fucking hot in there I had to drink something so I figured I'd have a few evil drinks.
Serj Tankian and his bassist walked down the lane past everybody, but nobody at all seemed to give a shit- except the guy in front of us in the line who pointed them out excitedly. I wouldn't know who they were if I fell over them as we left as soon as Fantomas finished their set at The Palace when they supported him/them/whatever it is.
...The number of people sporting top hats at that gig was nauseating!
Lucky they played yesterday as it's even hotter in Victoria today, and is supposed to be hotter and hotter until Sunday.
Think that's about al I have to say at this point, though I didn't get home until 4:30am since I had to drive over 100km's after dropping everyone off, so I'm not quite with it today.
(Hope this makes some sense- so tired I can't tell!)
Anyone got a set list?
And don't just say 'Houdini' ;)
Great reviews! Thanks for the pics and everything. I wanna see Houdini live as well.

I think you are right about the setlist, but seeing them twice in a day, I'm not 100% sure what order they played things in apart from the first and last few.

...Why didn't we organise to all meet up?!?
Early show I was sitting on the left corner right next to Trevor, who could have smacked me in the head with his bass a few times if I wasn't perched on a stool and was standing.
I was over the right near Buzz at the later show, so we all must have been within a few metres of each other without even knowing!
Mop- were you the guy I said was a bastard (was actually a harsher word than that as us Aussies are so foul mouthed- especially half drunk) after the show for being so close to Buzz that he almost stood on you? Just curious since you said you were also over the right side and so close to Buzz...
I now know I was right near MJ as I was about four or five back as well at the later show- depending if I could see over/around a really tall guy in front of me.
Can't wait to see more pics anyway!!! :wink:

Posters don't cost that much to make, it's the art you're paying for. The Melvins probably get half of the run, and they make 100 percent profit on what they sell. The poster artist gets his money from selling the rest.

I still could have said something to you though if you were there with your woman though.
A guy with really long hair was standing beside me on my left and I asked him if my buddy was pissing him off standing where he was when we moved in and he said everything was cool, but again, didn't see what shirt he had on because I was next to him, or slightly behind during the show.
...Sound familiar at all?!?
I was the only one there with a yellow shirt on though I think, so it's probably easier for you to tell if you saw me at all.
Anyway, if they do happen to ever tour again, we'll have to be better organised!

I spoke to the guy with the long dark hair while going down the stairs. I apologized for constantly bumping into him, other people kept pushing me on him all the time.

www.angryblue.com
PS. Great show, my forth melvins gig and probably the best.
Fair enough. Personally I prefer to get a couple of CDs or a T-shirt for $50 but again each to their own. Just seemed a bit ironic that the poster cost more than the ticket. As I mentioned it looked like they sold all (or most of) the posters they had so maybe $50 is a fair price for most people.
The posters definitely sold out.
I asked Cal at the Ding Dong if the posters were going to be available when I saw it on the boards here and she said there would be 40, so I guess AngryBlue has the rest for sale.
When we were leaving Dale was out the front with Trevor talking to the security guy while Dale had a cigarette and my friend went and shook his hand and told him how great he (we) thought they were, as well as how great the Fantomas show was- which Dale seemed to really appreciate.
Dale said, "Oh cool, you got one of the posters" as we left, so I'm sure the money from the posters was all theirs and I'm more than happy to help them raise funds in any way possible.
...It's the least I can do for all the enjoyment those guys have provided me with over the years :wink:
I had a hell of a time getting there. I thought it was meant to start at 8pm - isn't that what the website said? Anyway, I had to leave work early, race to pick my daughter up from childcare, take her home, feed her, then get her over to my folks' place to babysit. I got to Ding Dong about 8 and the previous show's crowd was still coming out. All the band walked by at various times but not that many people seemed to notice them.
Anyway, it was veeeeery hot, and hotter inside.
Uml
I found Umlaut extremely tedious myself...
Nowhere near Bungle or SC3 in my opinion- though I am The Fool! :lol:
No doubt Bar's talented, but they do nothing for me.
Even Patton couldn't get me interested in the song he sang with them, though that was probably the best song of their set.

It was not a good setting for them, that's for sure. And to start your set with "Are you guys ready to rock?" was lame (because they didn't).
I didn't know Bar was involved, so assumed they were just ripping of the style/sound. I still enjoyed them, though.

Yeah, I know who he is. I meant that
at the time of the gig I didn't know he was involved.
oh cool- i was a little confused that you had the wiki link for bar.
the ding dong certainly advertised it as Bar McKinnon's band, though only after the show sold out.

Nah, i don't think anyone asked me if i was pissed off. Must've been someone else. I'm actually thinking that 'the bastard' was the guy who beat us to the setlist. And started stroking my friends hair and singing to him during the show.
what?!? ...stroking your friends hair and singing to him?
what an odd thing to be doing at a melvins show- or any show for that matter!

Yeah it was really fucking weird. That guy played a hell of a lot of air guitar too.
Here are some of the photos:

Eponymous - great review. I'm sure all the hassle paid off eventually.

That's pretty funny. We were pretty much right next to each other and didn't get to say hello.

Yeah- I saw you as well heaps of times throughout the night mop!
Can't believe we were all within a metre or two of each other at the later show and none of us had a clue...
No pics from me. I don't have a phone that takes pics or a camera and my friends were both too busy (or more likely too pissed!) to take any either- even though we were at both shows.
Think one of them got some video of Spread Eagle Beagle when he was right up front though I have no idea if it's decent quality or not as I haven't seen it yet.
...I'll post it up when I get it if it's not crap :wink:
Hi all,
I think I'm the friend that The Fool was referring to who had Spread Eagle Beagle footage. It's pretty crap quality as it was just from a phone and it's only 30 seconds (didn't trust myself in my slightly drunken state to hold my phone up any longer)
Anyway I've uploaded it to YouTube, http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=8g387yoGHf0
I got a few pics aswell, will upload them later. They're also shoddy quality unfortunately :(
Enjoy, I know I did!!!

Anyone get any pics of Trevor?
Anybody want to add their photos to the wiki?

I took a few photos but they're pretty crappy.

Some crappy camera phone ones. There might be some in the rest of my friends photos, i'll have to wait until i get them to see.
I have 5 or 6 photos on my phone, but they're pretty average quality. 2 of them have Trevor Dunn in them, I'll upload them later if anyone wants them
you know me- i'll take anything i can get! :wink:
OK, finally here they are, unfortunately not really worth the wait. Ahh well...

they aren't too bad man :wink:
really like that pic of trevor- reminds me just how close we were at the first show! 8)
fuck these fires up here suck! raining here atm, so hopefully that will help the cfa keep them away from me.
had all my cd's ready to take off this afternoon cos the fires in kilmore and the yea area are way too close for my liking and were heading NE towards me and both are only @40-50km's or something away and fires move so fast.
this is the third bushfire i've been not far from after being up in sassafras during the dandenongs fires, and then near the mt. beauty fires as well a few years back- plus i was in a housefire that i only just got out of.
...at least it's not 46C like yesterday and we have power today though!
Glad to hear your still safe, we (gf and I) were both hoping you were OK. Thankfully Saturday was not near us, although I stayed at my parents to escape the heat, and there were a couple of fires nearby (Cranbourne and Narre Warren Nth I think). There was quite a dust storm, then minutes later it was full of smoke too.
And remember there's always a safe place for your CDs at my house if you need it :lol:
Hope anyone else in the area on this forum is allright too
yep, i'm still safe from fires but still ready to go if i have to since there's at least two that could still cause hassles for me, but none are heading this way atm.
can barely see anything from all the smoke, but that's better than flames or embers!

Odd. You're not starting them by any chance, are you? :shock:
there's many easier ways to kill myself...
The fire a pretty fucking bad. I have quite a few students who have lost their houses around the kinglake area.
Damn, that's fucked! :(
I hope you are all safe, guys.
Sorry to hear some your students have lost their houses mop :(
Unfortunately, the Kinglake/Kilmore fire could still be a problem for me near Seymour (I'm actually in Avenel a bit further north of Seymour). Just saw the update on the CFA site and it has an alert for Kerrisdale to Seymour now, so I'm just hoping the CFA get it under control tonight/tomorrow but the 50km/h southerly winds can't be helping.
...The Yea/Murrindindi fire could also head this way, depending on the winds direction tomorrow.
I have boxes ready to go if either get too much closer, but there's only so much you can take with you no matter how 'prepared' you are.

I hope the wind will be advantageous for you, or for anyone for that matter.

I hope you are all safe, guys.
me too...so sad to hear what's happened to some of your students mop
Yeah it is pretty sad. The good thing is that it's really pulled all the staff at work together to help these families.
