Melvins Lite with Trevor Dunn: 50 states in 50 days

[Melissa]

I gather from an interview with Trevor Dunn on theholyfilament.cl that the Melvins Lite shows from July were just practice for a full tour.  But I used Google Translate and you can only make assumptions about what you're reading when using it.  Here's what I got:

In July of this year I was playing with the Melvins , in what they called their education " Lite ". To this he added that preparing for a U.S. tour with the Melvins : 50 states in 50 days, starting and ending in Hawaii, Alaska. "It's going to be crazy. Let's take a plane to Alaska and then we will go the rest of the States in a van, one per day without stopping ..!".

For those of you that can read the original text in Spanish, here's the link (4th paragraph):

Mellisa's translation seems pretty sound to me.

start making your plans.

I think the 51st state is Puerto Rico, no?

Anyway, this is fantastic! I mean, who needs money...or a job...or a life.....

So, I wonder... does this mean Trevor Dunn will be playing as a Melvin, or just touring with them as an opening act? Perhaps both? Maybe neither! Ha! OUTSTANDING! 

[bUTTHOLEmAN]

It's a US territory, like Guam, or the Virgin Islands.

If it's Melvins Lite it'll be shows like this:

i'm not embarassed to say i'd change my ticket for the upcoming melvins tour with a ticket for a melvins lite tour

[(PAUL)]

That would be awesome for fans, sounds insane for them. One time Def Leppard did three concerts on three different continents in 24 hours.

after witnessing the magic in San Diego on opening night, I am sold.
Best thing since H.A.T. live!!
I fondly remember when MELVINS lite hit the stage w/ Trevor.
I yelled out "are you gonna fuck shit up Trevor?"
Both Buzz and Trevor broke out in laughter.

good times. Great sound

You should've gone, it was pretty awesome. Melvins '83, Melvins Lite (no Trevor Dunn though), then Melvins with Trevor playing Houdini. I think the residency shows were better but the Melvins 25 show was still one of the best ever.
