July 12th Hawthorne theatre

[idowhatidoes]

Opening band was pretty damn good. Husband and wife band had some heavy sound to them. Melvins show was great, good set. Amazon is a song they should always play. Only song missing was nightgoat.This trio has really good chemistry. Couple of the newer songs with a mix of oldies. No crowd problems, overall damn good show. My first time at Hawthorne the balcony was great to pregame while watching the openers, then made our way to the front before Melvins started. Faaaantastic night.

Nice to see 'em in a place smaller than the Roseland, I think this is the first time a regular Melvins show was played at Hawthorne (other gigs were Melvins Lite and acoustic Buzz). While the intimacy was great, the sound at the Roseland is much better IMO. Great set, 73 minutes per the stage clock. 16 songs, boom, go the fuck home
