10/04/2005 Koko London, UK w/ Trevor Dunn on bass for ATP

[klump]

the crowd sucked. it ruined the concert for me.
next time, Im gonna see the melvins (If I ever do) Im gonna sit with a drink of choice, in a lounge enjoying the music without stupid speedheads kicking and hitting me in the kidneys.

[DirtyProtest]

Fucking amazing, one of the heaviest shows I've  ever seen. They completely ruled.

I missed Kevins antics but I thought Trevor completely fitted in.

Both support bands also ruled, which made a nice change, AND I picked up a signed copy of the poster which was badass.

The Melvins proved us all right again, they ARE the best band in the world.

[jaymz]

fuckin amazin.
totally the best gig ive ever seen part chimp where fuckin cool got one of there cds next day 'i am come' and it is a must have.
deerhoof wasnt much of a fan of the singer but musically i didnt mind them
and the melvins  which no one who was there needs me to tell them how great a show that was.
"if anyone noticed I was the hairy fucker chucking my locks about right in front of the King"

Yeah, but don't you find that crowds pretty much universally suck at live shows? If you're down the front, it's a sad fact of life that you'll suffer discomfort although I find that I prefer being jabbed in the back when I'm on the barrier to being punched in the mouth by someone moshing when I'm a few rows back. That said, I really didn't feel that the Melvins crowd was too bad at all, not compared to some gigs I've been to. I mean, I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never see Slayer in an indoor arena because I wouldn't be able to deal with the moshers (and besides, I've no real desire to see Slayer live any longer)...Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy yourself Klump, particularly as you had to travel so far for the show.

Well, well... Where to begin?

I like the koko, in that its right next to mornington crescent underground st, and there is a pub over the road too, thus avioding most of the queues to get in and ensuring sensible priced booze

Hello all.
What a show!
I lost my shoe in the front chaos, got all pissed off and sulked at the back. Then I thought fuck it, went enjoyed rest of show and found shoe at the end.
Got one of the lovely posters also.
What a band!
Fuckin awesome little bits of millisecond interaction going on between them that would just alter each song a little. Tight fuckers.
The most metal and avant garde band that's existed.
Can't wait to see them again.

Almost a religious experience tuesday night, especially Sacrifice was an unbelivable experience. 1 hour and 15 minutes went away in a flash. 

[bison213]

ROCKET REDUCER WAS AWESOME. I had a really bad tape copy of them diong it somewhere once, (maybe a single b side or summink) but after the slow, heavy menace of "Sacrifice" it was one almighty shot in the arm to go home to.
