From Walsby's Facebook:



"I have been sworn to secrecy but It looks like I will be doing this again in May and June.
Based on what I have been told it should be another year of surprises and cool stuff."

I predict a small full-album tour.  like as in they play about 20 (or less) cities and do a couple of full albums at each.

do I have any bet takers?

Yes. I bet the "big and exciting surprise" of 2013 is that the only U.S. gig they'll play is MDF, that Melvins will relocate to Bron-yr-Aur, a small cottage in southern Snowdonia in north Wales where they'll record an acoustic triple album before only playing Canada until they all retire, age around 115. Mackie is currently working on a 1:1 scale letterpress Chieftain tank which will fire rounds of Brian Walsby's hairballs and which will be sold on eBay at a starting bid of $12,000 - Oldernie and I are saving up for it as we type.

You just made my day

[buddy holiday]

i believe the april dates will be melvins lite and sometime early may they switch to the 4piece residency shows. i assume that besides berlin there will be a few more cities for residency shows.
...i have no proof of all that, but i know they need to be back in the US for the MDF, so you can calculate: they are in berlin 07.05./08.05. and in MDF 23.05. which is roughly 2 weeks inbetween, which means 4 to 5 additional residency shows could be possible.

This topic just drives me crazy.  I'm going to stop reading it until Melvins come home and start gigging again.  I'm having to settle for Tomahawk at The Mayan later this month...  Love their new LP Oddfellows however!

Melvins Lite will play on Saturday May 4th at the Asymmetry Festival in Poland, sharing the day with Metallic Taste of Blood, Amenra and Ufomammut.

Why are they always so goddamn late with announcing tour dates officially? I know it's exiting and all, but I heard the tickets for the Berlin shows are going fast, and if they don't announce a residency show more nearby I also need my Berlin tickets..

None of these dates have been 'announced' officially by the band yet. I think the early dates are leaked, rather like the three really early 51 in 51 dates.

And I said I was going to avoid this topic until Melvins come home and start playing here again.  Maybe if they play Madrid, I can go see them!!
