Next album project

[))))((((]

''we have a whole other album that's done, but it's a project that we can't even talk about yet. Hopefully it will come out by the end of the year.'' - Buzz


I really hope this is (what im referring to as) Melvins XL. Buzz said more than a year ago about an idea to have a version of the band with Jared, Coady and Trevor all playing bass together - one big Melvins line-up. There was a photo posted on here of them all together too. Jeff Pinkus was in attendance also. Could that be the next project?? Buzz, Dale, Jared, Coady, Trevor and Jeff on every song!!! I really hope so!


Outside of that other ideas that floated around or were rumours as i recall were...


-another Lustmord collaboration.
-a collaboration with Void Manes.
-more Melvins Lite since the band said they had recorded 50 songs with Trevor and that they would come out at some point.
-a potential album featuring ONLY Buzz and Dale. Like that gig they played with Dale on that little cocktail drum kit.
-maybe a record with Steven McDonald.



What would you like or expect to see?

I'd like to see them do an album with the remaining members of America. Get Buzz and Jarred in there on some good harmonies. Maybe do a few covers. Ventura Highway would be cool.

I'd really like another Melvins Lite album

i was also really hoping for a 7" with Melvins doing "Moving to Florida" and "Graveyard" by Butthole Surfers.

That's a good idea, I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen.

Im not a fan of 'Moving To Florida' but yes i've always wanted 'Graveyard' to get the studio treatment. Especially after that live video performance outdoors they did. Wish they had included that song on Hold It In. As for other covers, the same goes for Devo's 'Mr DNA' that the band played on tour with Jared and Coady around '09. That would make an excellent addition to an album. Funny how the band are recording a lot of older "traditional" cover songs lately. You know - Ballgame, Shaving Cream, Tie A Pecker, PGX3, You're In The Army Now etc.

Remember, they said they do that because these songs are public domain. No legal hassles for covering them. No royalties to pay.

I never remember the band saying that! Although it does make sense. Personally i'd much prefer Osborne originals to covers though.

Anything, as long as it's not Jeff Pinkus.  Seriously, the guy isn't even into the band's music.

And Trevor Dunn is?

SO maybe the next will be a full album with Kevin

I might be wrong but i wouldn't say Melvins and the bands Pinkus has been involved with are that far removed from one another.

I think it's a safe bet you'll all be surprised by what's coming up next!!

Oh God you know don't you!!! Right, lets think outside of the box guys. It's the long awaited collaboration album with Leif Garrett isn't it?
