Hopefully the venue has backup power, if in fact it was affected.

Melvins always bring powerful weather patterns with them when traveling...

What was the show like?... Did they play any special songs with the electric bass?

[(the) flutter nuts]

The setlist was the same as the Canadian tour but they played hooch instead of freak puke. It was cool to see/hear trevor play freak puke songs with the electric , just a bit more heavy. Fucking fantastic!!!

There were 70mph gusts when Melvins arrived the previous day. Dave Curran almost shat himself, he said    They thought they were going to crash!  The wind had died down a bit by the time we arrived, but it was still really bumpy, ha!

There was no power failure last night at the venue as Melvins were generating their own.

Flutternuts is next to me logged in as Grim Reaper! We'll be good, although the temptation for mischief-making is massive.
