I havent made it out in a few years. I think the last show I went to was at trees. I cant remember if it was trees or the engine room in houston I seen them at. I was impressed with Big Business. I really liked them. Melvins did a great job, though I though the set was pretty short compaired to seeing them in the past(maybe Im spoiled from the last show I attented with ween playing for close to 3 hours). 


Was this a big or small turn out compaired to last years show?

last years show was at the Gypsy, which is now closed but was the coolest place. I dunno, they packed teh gypsy and this place seemed a little more... roomy.

The show was awesome.  My 15th Melvins show and 3rd for Big Business.  I am always overwhelmed by Big B. Coady's drumming is so insane.  It was great to hear 2 guitars at the end of the BB set, Toshi and Dale shredding like mad.  I've stood and waited through many shitty opening bands over the years so Big Business is a real treat.  It is also way better to not memorize the set list before you go to the show.  The new Melvins tunes 'Suicide in progress' and 'Billy Fish' are awesome, can't wait for the new album.

I agree the Gypsy Tea was smaller by far.  The Granada is a decent size and you can actually breathe in there.  It appeared to be a smaller turnout than last year but the Granada is like twice the size (wider i think)than the Gypsy was.  Here's some pics from the show...they're kinda small oh well

Buick Grand National!  Right on bro, i remember those cars. 

The arm folders probably got in for free or somethin'.. or maybe they were under 21 or they would've been holding a beer

Oh no they aren't my pics. I got them from the granada theater website.  I guess taken by their in house photographer.  There's some a bit larger on flickr too  http://www.flickr.com/photos/billellisonphotographer/tags/melvins/

This is something I've always wanted to ask Buzz about.... at that point he had walked off stage, and I specifically remember dale and coady whistling for him. Was he bummed? Just tired? The crowd was lame and maybe he thought we didn't deserve it

This Dead Cowboy guy sounds like a douche.
