Melvins turn 25!

[Idlehanz]

is that the entire tour list? 

No.  It's not.  I know there's more to be added.  But I wouldn't count on Dillard being available for the whole tour this summer.

More like a permanent marker. Usually they put x's if you're under 21 and a stamp if you're over. And the damn stamp always rubs off all over my shirt.

I think Webster Hall gives out wrist bands for alcohol.

I live in NY, the shows around here are almost always 18+. I'll definitely be at the Webster Hall show.

Cant wait to hear Joan of Arc.

That's right! The Melvins celebrate their Silver Anniversary this year! Lots of fun and surprises are coming! To kick off the festivities, the boys are doing some select shows performing the Houdini record in it's entirety. One Mr. Trevor Dunn will be handling the bass duties while the B.B. boys are touring their new album "Mind The Drift". Also along for the ride is original drummer Mike Dillard. The boys will play songs from the Mangled Demos record with Dale Crover playing the role of Matt Lukin! Check the show section for dates.

I like your avatar, Melvinsianiac, and I wish I had lived in the states so that I was able to visit these shows. BTW, Melvinsianiac, are you familiar with
Melvinsianism?

[John Schuller]

I would love to see Matt Lukin on bass for the Mangled Demos stuff. He is just hanging in West Seattle being a carpenter.  Bury the hatchet guys!!!!

[Rev. Mike]

Dale is a better bass player.

Haha thanks man.

Melvinsianism? If only they could prove he didn't exist... oh wait they did!
They did when they recorded Charmicarmicat.

I'll be there as well, so it seems. I can't wait to hear Hooch and Night Goat!

It would be great if theMelvins ever played the Metro in Chicago again
that is where they shine the best
They were really good and the sound was above par at Reggie's last time
but the double door is one of the worst clubs to play at.
the sound is horrible and the bar can usually drowned out the music
doesn't help that the bar is twice as big as the stage and ten feet away from the stage as well
the only place I can think that is worse for sound here in Chicago is the Aragon Ballroom
when I saw the Melvins with Primus there in '94, they got boo'd
but the Aragon is a big azz echo chamber

[m3kcomp]

really excited about the WH show...but a little concerned about BB not being on this. I've gotten so used to the power of the Dale/Coady assault it's going to be hard to go back...

still, I wouldn't miss it for anything...and knowing for sure Joan of Arc is on the setlist is heaven for me.

[the ether bunny]

i think its kind of interesting how the ol' melvins are kinda two live bands in one at this point. you either get the buisness boys, or the fury of dunn himself.

either way, its a win win situation.

everyone who's travelling to the NYC show, where are you all gonna stay? is it a crappy area?
that being said, i'm used to crappy areas.
