Alright, So review time you undeserving cocks.

Woke up late and hungover on Friday, left around 2 in the afternoon. GF was excited as all hell. 4 hour drive, yadda yadda, got there about 30 mins before door opened. Got in, saw Jared sitting around, and frantically searched for mersh.Haze is a top shelf rad dude, and was very cool when I told him I was from the board. If I have business with you, rest assured that I got at least what I was asked to get. I think. Expect pm's tomorrow, as I "cannot be arsed to give it a proper fuckaround" today. I hope you guys understand that, me being tired as tits.

So they opened with the Lysol/Eggnog set, with Charmicarmicat into Roman Bird Dog/Hung Bunny. we were on the right side of the stage, getting blasted by a huge speaker tower, and lemme tell ya, it was RUMBLY. My right ear is still muffled from the racket. All the guys seemed like they were having a good time, especially Buzz who was actually grinning a lot. Hearing With Teeth was the highlight of the set for me, one of my faves. Ended with Sacrifice, I think. The whole set was fucking stellar, and the highlight of the night.

Set two was Houdini, which we saw in Seattle a few years back, with Dunn. But the second drums really added some oomph to the album, especially HAG ME, which they opened the set with. My fave from that album. The rest of the set went by pretty quick, a nice contrast to the plodding first set.

Set ended, we mingled for a bit, then hit the hay.

DAY TWO

hey, did you guys know, that Austin is hotter than fuck and smells like sour balls? Even more intensely than the rest of this godforsaken state. we spent most of the day hiding from the sun, checking out the free museums and hanging around campus. Fuck hot Austin. I mean, really.

Got to the venue around opening time, and waited.
Started with Bullhead, and this was the best set of either evening. Bullhead is one of my faves, and boy howdy, was it good and heavy. Your Blessened with two drummers! Pow! Bam! wowwee! I loved it.

Stoner Witch was the last of the set, and it was great too. At the Stake is my all time favorite Melvins song, and boy did it deliver. Was a little disappointed that he didn't play the solo, but we all know how much Buzz hates Mark....

Some guy jumped up with Coady and played drums at the end of the set, and Dale futzed with the bass for a bit and yelled YEEHAW at the crowd over and over.



Stellar fucking shows. I had a hell of a good time, and more importantly, so did girl!

Since when is there a solo in At The Stake? And thanks for the review, I'll be seeing them at the Boston shows and I can't wait.

Here! Here!! Sounds like good good times man. Great review Dc ... making me all jealous an' shit. Yeah, I like this Residency idea ... two nights, nothing but Melvins ... sweet stuff! They could play on that idea with all kinds of different themes ... not just the full album thing.

This is working out well so far. I can see a time when there's a Merch Lord at every major city, entrusted and willing to snag merch for the rest of us who are too far away to get any ourselves and willing to pay a tip for the favour. ?

Yeah, Jules this was a stellar idea you initally threw out ... and Dc was totally cool and on with the whole thing. Merch Lord indeed. Yeah great ideas man ... a nice little network seems like it would work real well. I'm absolutely game for this kinda action.
