Melvins tour dates 2012

[brian]

Still can't believe they're going to play all 50 states. I wonder if they have ever played Mississippi, I know they've never played Alaska and Hawaii

if the Kolonel says it, you better believe it.

MELVINS = trailblazers till death

well yeah, i know they're doing it, i just can't believe it. kind of like how i can't believe Eggnog exists if you know what i mean

This is the bio for the Melvins that Cascade Tickets has up for this July's show in Portland.   It might be time to update   


It hasn't been a year since the last bona fide Melvins album but nonetheless, slated for release is yet another album... However, this here new one is actually a RE-release of the classic Melvins record "10 songs". Of course the NEW one has a NEW super deluxe cover and has been expanded to 26 songs. That's 16 more than the original! The record even includes a secret recording of one of their hometown buddies out of his mind on Angel Dust. This added historical window should fully explain their origin and current message in a way never before captured on record. Even if this reissue is 16 years old you can rest assured this record is up to date! If you get this record you can know there is nothin' or nobody ahead of you. Nobody knows nothin' that you don't know. All the cards are on the table friends and that's a fact!

Dang! It's been damn near 20 years since these Melvins started and they still have yet to find the common decency to die or break up. The core-band of King Buzzo and Dale remains intact and they've had the same bass player since 1998! Hailing from the Minneapolis Cows is pioneering slide bass pervert Kevin "Rutmanis". The Melvins proclaim this lineup the definitive whatever you want to call it of whatever it is they think they do. Nothing should be denied them forever more.

Looks like Retox is opening for the Melvins Lite show in Portland.

I'm thinking about Hamilton, Rochester definitely. Could do it, it's a Saturday night. Cool low-key town, easy to find your way around, saw Nomeansno there this past October.
The thing is w/ The Melvins, you're gonna get the exact same setlist every night. I've seen them do it when they played Buffalo/Rochester back to back nights in '08, but those were both so close to home it was worth it.

finally, a vancouver show! looks like ontario is getting a nice tour.
I might go to the bellingham one as well/.

bellingham isnt too far.

I'm still convinced Melvins will sneak in a Scottish date after Manchester on 30th May. In Edinburgh......or Glasgow if needs be.

It's possible. They might finish with Bristol or Cardiff again as Bristol's where they keep their equipment. I'd love to see them on the Thekla. Here's hoping.....

Both would be nice, i'm still getting over missing out on tickets for that tiny Bristol show.

[azathoth rising]

Is there any word on if the UK dates will be the four-peice or with Trevor?

I feel like I can't lose either way, if its the four then I should get to see them do Hung Bunny/Roman Dog Bird and Youth Of America for the first time, if its lite then I get to see an awesome and unique show.

Wrong, both will be awesome. I guess it's the 4 piece, Unsane/Big Business wil do a european tour a few days after these UK shows

winnipeg!! finally... i think it's been 12 years. not that driving down to minneapolis isn't a good time. minus the usual search at the border.

Got my Rochester ticket last night. Record Archive has 'em - $17+ $2.50 surcharge. Ticket says it's at the Club side where they played in '08. Cool, more intimate in there. Also of note, at Ipecac's site they show Retox opening all the Lite dates that are posted.
