Melvins Echo 30 Diciembre 07

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

Good show, similar setlist as San Diego, Tweak Bird didn't show so Melvins played two sets, shirt pictures coming later, no show poster, but some nice guy (talked with him a bit, not being facetious) was selling the most random, inappropriate bootleg silkscreen posters outside.  Nice guy, but .. bizarre.  Looked like entire melvins crew was there, Mackie, Maureen, Adam, Camella, Dan, + more.  I found out I cant text and drink at the same time.  400 blows has a new drummer, they don't seem as great as they used to.  Woo!

goddammit serves me right for lagging... what did they play during the first set?

video or audio, anyone? this was a great gig. sounded great on the echoplex' system... can't wait to see OM there in a few weeks.

I'll try to get the complete set list for everything up tonight. 
I can't believe people were hassling the street vendors; I thought the food smelled great.

Great show. Drove out from vegas. Refreshing set for me, since I saw the ASA tour a year ago. I heard the melvins playing when I got into line, thought it was just soundchek.  The venue took way too long getting people in the club, and I even had will call, the other line for tix buyers wasn't even being let in. THank god I did will call.
I'm upset I missed an early set. What happend???
Highlights were the bullhead, houdini, and eggnog songs. And of course the extended drone/drum piece with Toshi lending a hand for the finale'.
What were those 2 new songs they played (not hold your hand). New original material? one sounded like a cover possibly.
This was like melvins show # 16 or 17 for me since 1994'.  ANd I must say they sounded as crisp and clean as ever. Buzz vocals sounded great, drums were mixed very well with the bass etc.........
Not the loudest melvins show though, dare I say "not loud enough!"

Have a happy new year and...
EMO WITH YOUR FATHER!!!!

Okay, The first set list was
Civilized worm
Copache
Sip

The second was

I***edit***
set list is slightly different than the slims show

<bonus for you coming soon>

Lots of Melvins friends were there; it seemed like a great time for everyone.  The melvins seem at the height of popularity, and they all seem like they're enjoying it all.  Adam had a goofy grin on his face for most of the melvins' second set.  A lot more crowded than the recent San Diego show, but it was  a great atmosphere nonetheless.   All the melvins women looked great.. dressed fancy?  or maybe just good looking.  I'll try to get a few of the crowd pictures up, but who knows when.  It was the same setlist as the following nye in san francisco, sans the opening set.   cheers to you
