Down/Melvins 11 August 2009 Opening Night!

[(PAUL)]

That's awesome that they played The Bloated Pope, one of my favorites. While I don't particularly want a full setlist (I like to be surprised) I'd like to know about how long they played and what merch is available if someone could be kind enough to supply that information.

Shirts and possibly a poster.

[spunkmonkey]

Mike Klay was doing the poster, but there were none at the show.  They had, as previously mentioned, the "see you in hell" shirt along with the two different color versions of the eagle from Buzz's poster.  They played for 45 min - hour.  Two words, Devo cover.

Anything out of the ordinary aside from the devo cover?  Similar setlist to the previous shows?

I'm surprised you stayed long enough for them to come on. 

[DC]

I really wanted to give them a chance.

[Idlehanz]

I really wanted to give them a chance.

Me too. 

Really, I'm sure some of them are cool.....But they sure as hell weren't anywhere near me.

I think I have a cracked rib.

I had agreat time at the show. I hooked up with a few friends of mine who are big into Weedeater, Melvins, and Down.

The opening band kicked ass. I have no idea what their name is.

It seems like Weedeater was cut short. The singer made some comments about time. I wanted to hear Gimme Back My Bullets but it didn't happen.

When the Melvins came out I got right in front of the stage and it was a fucking battle the whole time. I had it set in my mind that no one was going to move me.

Melvins tore it up.  Couldn't give you a set list due to alcohol consumption.

After Melvins I moved and let these two apes take my spot and these teenagers wanted to kick my ass for violating their space. I said fuck it and walked out into the no booze area to find DC and there he was with his girlfriend and crew. He said he was leaving so he didn't have to see Down.

I stuck around. Down put on a good show but it was nothing exceptional. I am going to check out their music. I went to this bar called Motor down the street from the Showbox SoDo and over heard an interesting conversation about Down's first release. How great it was.

That was the first time I was in the SoDo Showbox and I like the place.

Saw Rhett E. Rock but by that time I was hammered. Spunk, were you at the show? Sorry I missed ya. And Nothing to the Notice too. I wanted to see your tat in person.

Three Mevins shirts only. See you in Hell and two based on the King Buzzo poster from the 25th Anniversary show.

I want to see this show again if I can squeeze it in.

Tony Aguilar from Totimoshi was helping roady for the Melvins. Didn't see anyone else I recognized.

[ManWithNoName]

That's fucked. Totimoshi is great!

Was this his first time helping out the Melvins?!
