King Buzzo, a.k.a. Buzz Osborne, is the singer, guitar player and founder of the enormously influential band, the Melvins. His innovative approach to songwriting, and guitar playing, has influenced countless musicians, and turned leagues of music lovers into ardent fans. Renowned for his pioneering use of down-tuned strings, Buzzo masterfully blended his punk and metal influences, and in turn, he created a groundbreaking new sound in heavy music. Over Osborne’s extensive career, which originated in the small hamlet of Montesano, Wash. in 1983, he has released over 30 albums under the Melvins’ moniker, two solo albums [Gift of Sacrifice (2020) and This Machine Kills Artists (2014)], as well as a number of collaborative projects including Fantômas and Crystal Fairy.

Trevor Dunn might be most widely known for his work with Mr. Bungle, the eclectic and unpredictable Northern California band he co-founded in 1985, but his career outside of Mr. Bungle has been just as notable. Also a member of Fantômas, Trevor Dunn’s Trio-Convulsant, Tomahawk and Melvins Lite, Dunn has also written music for various ensembles, performed extensively with John Zorn, and recently formed Riverworm Records , a label home for “discarded, forgotten, and misunderstood music.”

TARANTULA HEART - New Album announced for release April 19th, 2024

The Melvins latest opus, Tarantula Heart (April 19, Ipecac Recordings), is quite possibly the band’s most unconventional, catchiest and imaginative work yet, continuing a legacy celebrated for its eccentric and extraordinary output.

A preview of the five-song, 39-minute collection arrives with the release of “ Working The Ditch ,” and the accompanying Jesse Nieminen-created video . Nieminen previously directed the band’s short film, “A Walk With Love and Death.”

“The way we approached Tarantula Heart was different than any other Melvins’ album,” explains Buzz Osborne. “I had Dale and Roy Mayorga come in and play along with Steven and I to some riffs, then I took those sessions and figured out what parts would work and wrote new music to fit. This isn’t a studio approach we’ve ever taken. Usually we have the songs written BEFORE we start recording!”

“The majority of Tarantula Heart has dual drum parts,” adds long-time Melvins drummer Dale Crover. “Roy is an amazing drummer. We would discuss what we would do pattern wise, then we’d just go for it. Improvising riffs and trading off on drum fills.”

In actuality nothing appeared out of thin air. Buzz spent hours and hours with the drum tracks by himself writing songs to what he was hearing drum wise. “When the rest of the band heard these songs I’d created from the sessions, they were blown away,” Buzz shares. “These were fully developed new songs that they’d never heard before that had seemingly appeared out of thin air. Presto!”

Recorded, mixed and co-produced by longtime Melvins’ collaborator Toshi Kasai, the album also features We Are The Asteroid guitar player Gary Chester. Gary and the Melvins’ history goes back to their days on Boner Records, with the guitar player formerly having been a part of the legendary band, Ed Hall.

Tarantula Heart pre-orders are available now , with the album available on a trio of vinyl variants (black, indie exclusive Silver Streak and Ipecac Recordings’ 25th Anniversary Puke Green), featuring a 12-page booklet, as well as on CD and digitally.

Next month sees the Melvins head overseas, playing in Japan for the first time since 2019 following a stint where they join current labelmates, Mr. Bungle, for a trek across Australia and New Zealand. Buzz and Bungle bass player Trevor Dunn team up later this year for the “King Dunn Tour,” a 45-date excursion that sees the pair play songs from the King Buzzo releases: This Machine Kills Artists and Gift of Sacrifice.

Matt Cameron announces Gory Scorch Cretins collaboration with Melvins

Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/Soundgarden, etc) recorded a 5-song vinyl exclusive with Buzz, Dale, Steven and Toshi for Record Store Day – get it this Friday after Thanksgiving at your favorite local record store! More details at Revolver .

Matt says: "I have always been a massive Melvins fan. They are a huge influence on me as a musician and a big part of our early Seattle music scene. I reconnected with the Melvins in 2019 when they performed at the Chris Cornell tribute concert in LA. I emailed Buzz after and asked if he, Dale, Steven and Toshi could help record some songs I had written and they were totally up for it. I also collaborated with Nate Yaccino and Meagan Grandall on this project. I decided to pay tribute to the Melvins by reimagining the artwork/title for their seminal release Gluey Porch Treatments. Enjoy! "

Melvins + Boris Each Playing a Classic Album in Full on 43-Date 2023 U.S. Tour

Melvins and Boris have just announced the "Twins of Evil" tour, a 43-date trek through the United States which will find each band playing one of their classic albums in full.

For Melvins, they'll be celebrating their 1991 underground classic Bullhead , while Boris will perform all if 2002's Heavy Rocks , making it a can't-miss night for fans of sludgy, experimental heavy music. And it's just plain amusing that Boris, who named themselves after one of the standout cuts on Bullhead , are appearing on this commemorative run.

“40 years as the Melvins!!! What better way to celebrate that unlikely milestone than by setting off on the ‘Twins of Evil' tour with our friends, Boris,” enthuses Melvins frontman/guitarist Buzz Osborne , “This will be a stone groove!”

Boris’ Takeshi (vocals, bass, guitar) adds, “Could anyone have predicted such an astonishing event, that Boris and the Melvins would tour the entire USA together? Since the mid-'80s, the Melvins have had an enormous influence on artists of all genres not only limited to heavy music, and have brought forth a surge of faithful followers over the years. Needless to say, Boris is just one of these many bands influenced by the mighty Melvins, and we took our name from a song title off of the 1991 album, Bullhead .”

The Twins of Evil Tour kicks off in Los Angeles on Aug. 24 and will conclude in another California city, San Diego, on Oct. 14. Opening each night will be Mr. Phylzzz.

Your Guide to Rock + Metal Bands Touring in 2023

The Melvins reflect on the 40th Year of The Melvins

2023 was the FORTIETH year of the Melvins . They've released 30+ albums. They've played thousands of shows. They've changed the landscape of rock music itself.

And yet, in the year 40 A.M., the band, instead of running around saying "We're 40! We're the best! Give us praise!", they decided to put out a TON of new releases and played a special tour. But, just before the band was set to jump off and play their iconic album Bullhead in full on the road, drummer Dale Crover had to have emergency back surgery. how could the tour go on without their crucial, illustrious drummer?! And yet, the Melvins, ever the artists and workmen, smashed forward through the tour and through the hurdles and through the year.

Punknews' John Gentile spoke with Melvins Buzz Osborne and Steven McDonald and some of the band's compatriots about the band's 40th year… and their place in history. You can read that below.

The Melvins at the end of their 40th Year

John Gentile

It has been forty years since the Melvins spawned from the grey, wet, slimy, primordial forest of Morton, Washington. It has been forty years since Melvins founder, Buzz Osborne got the idea to create a band that pulled from the soul of classic rock, the power of heavy metal, and the bite of the still young punk scene. It has been forty years since the creature known as the Melvins first roared.

And in that time, the Melvins have created a genre, or genres, while remaining genre-less. And in that time, the band has released umpteen albums, Eps, singles, live records, and compilations, some which defined the band’s inimitable cannon and some which deliberately struck against said cannon. And in the time, they’ve released punk music, metal music, rock music, folk music, electronic music, soundtracks, noise records, and yes, even Christmas carols. And in that time, they’ve toured six continents and even played 50 states and DC in 51 days, thereby creating a Guiness book of World Record all the while refusing to pay the fee to get into the book thereby proving they did it for the accomplishment, not the accolades. And in that time, they’ve collaborated with the likes of Jello Biafra, Flipper, David Yow, Teri Gender Bender, Mike Patton, JG Thirwell, Krist Novaselic, Paul Leary, Matt Cameron, Clem Burke, Mark Arm, and yes, even Leif Garrett. And in that time, they’ve been through more bassists than you can count. And in that time, they've cranked out slow, low, lumbering riffs that can make your ears bleed. And in that time, they’ve smashed out super-fast, circle pit moshing, shredding solos that would melt your face. And in that time, with all of their incarnations, with all of their targeted projects with all of their random diversions, with all of their thousands and thousands of shows, with all of their no-one-seems-to-be-able-to-quite-get-it-totally existence, they have always been THEM, and that’s THEM uniquely.

Forty years of riffs. Forty years of raw power. Forty years of electric thunder. Forty years of freaky shit. Forty years of high brow artiness. Forty years of pop-trash. Forty years of cacophony. Forty years of euphony. Forty years of what-the-hell-is-this? Forty years of sonic damage. Forty years of Noise! Noise!! NOISE!! !!!NOISE!!! NOISENOISENOISENOISE!!!!!!!!!

It has been FORTY frikkin years of THE MELVINS.

…and Osborne doesn’t care.

…well, okay, maybe he cares a little bit . “I guessssss it’s kind of a big deal,” he says. “But, I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it. I’m much more of a ‘what have you done lately’ kind of person. It is cool that we’ve lasted this long. We are not a legacy act. We’re not relying on our last few albums. We have new stuff all the time. I think we’re the best we have ever been.”

“The Melvins are the most important band in the history of music… at least that’s what their bio says,,” says Greg Werckman, who runs Ipecac Records, one of the Melvins two main record labels (the other being Thomas Hazelmyer’s Amphetamine Reptile Records). Werckman continues, “They have truly inspired more musicians than any active band. They defy genres yet they created several. They always have been and always will be. It does not matter when they play, where they play or how many are watching them play. It does not matter what the media says about them or how the crowd reacts to them. It does not matter what is hip or cool or successful at any given time. They are the Melvins.”

Indeed, even though this was Melvins year XL, there was no huge “40th anniversary tour” or Merch Drop that said something like “Melvins- since 1983.” (They did play one of their classic albums entirely on tour, but that almost seemed like the idea was brought to them-more on that later). What they did do, instead of beating their chests and screaming “look at what we did,” was crank out a BUNCH of new stuff.

New Melvs material released this year: A Throbbing gristle covers album recorded with Void Manes that actually had original, non TG songs on it; a 10-inch that had them re-recording their first release; a new EP recorded with Helms Alee; an EP of Melvins-inspired material recorded with Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam.

Most bands put out something about once every two years. Melvins are at FOUR releases this year so far… and there are still a few hours left.

Oh wait- they also reissued a bunch of stuff this year, too: Their 2005 live album wherein they covered the iconic Houdini album; Their Bulls and the Bees compilation that stitches together one of their sonic-attack sound-chaos albums and one of their most beloved Eps; Tres Cabrones the album where they got back together with their original drummer Mike Dillard… also, they also reissued about 20-30 other albums presented in a hyper limited CD and vinyl editions that the band literally makes themselves in an antique printing press (along with artist Mackie Osborne- Buzz’s wife). That’s right, the band has 30+ albums available at their fingertips to REISSUE. By contrast, Mick and Keith, now 60 years as a band, and maybe the greatest rock band of all time (tied with the Melvins, of course) only have a paltry 25 platters.

So, you’d think Osborne would be running around saluting his great achievement or at least toasting himself. James Brown always talked about how great he was. So did Little Richard. But, Osborne seems almost annoyed that I want to talk to him about it. When I thank him at the beginning of an interview for doing the interview he draws out his reply, “noooooooo problem…”

In a way, you can’t blame his lean. Over the past ten years or so, Osborne has been doing a TON of interviews and he has fielded A LOT of the same questions. “What was Kurt like?” “Isn’t Kiss awesome?” “What was it like playing music in Seattle during the grunge era?” “What was Kurt like?”

“Most of the interviews I do are pretty much the same questions,” Osborne says. “Basically, I live a pretty conservative lifestyle and wildness comes out in the music.”

To that end, it seems that the Melvins-Interview open door policy might be closing a little. What’s interesting, is that for all the hundreds of interviews Osborne has done, we’re only marginally closer to understanding him than we were in say, 2005… or maybe not at all. He often gives short, direct answers, but they’re so intense that they don’t open up room for discussion. Or sometimes, like Jello Biafra or Rob Halford or Lemmy, he’ll load a pre-saved answer to a question he’s been asked 37 times before. And sometimes, you get lucky and he goes off on to an interesting topic, like the one time he mused on the idea that there’s no scientific reason why people can’t be brought back from the dead. But even then, he doesn’t really provide much context for what he’s actually feeling or thinking internally. “I don’t mind people trying to dissect my thought process,” Osborne mentions. “I’m glad to get asked questions I haven’t been asked before.”

But listen, we’re just never going to know what makes Buzz be Buzz. Many, many writers have tried to get the definitive Dr. Freud interview with Buzz and all have failed. I’ve failed three times myself. Buzz Osborne is the walnut that will not crack. He is what he is and as he tells me, somewhat firmly, he does draw a line between revealing what goes on in his music life and his personal life.

He says, “People don’t need to know everything. Revealing that kind of information is not going to do me any good. I am very selective about what I talk about. The Internet is like a giant National Enquirer, except it’s bigger than that, even. People get infuriated by a lot of things and they are usually wrong, so I don’t want to open myself up to that. I don’t want people to look at what I’m doing and think anything about it. I’m not afraid of ANYTHING and it’s NONE of your business.”

If all you knew of Osborne was built from his interviews, you won’t get the full picture though. In his interviews, Osborne comes across as intelligent and thoughtful, but also direct, maybe blunt, and maybe kinda, sorta perennially annoyed. But the thing is, that everyone that actually does know him, says he’s a nice, warm, friendly guy!

“Buzz and Dale are some of the nicest people I know,” says collaborator pal Void Manes. “They are humble and kind. They are good people that I can trust with anything.”

Werckman adds, “Buzz is how I would imagine Mr. Rogers would be in person. He is kind, loving, well groomed and always teaching life lessons to those willing to learn.”

“Buzz has a high IQ and I know that because he’s told me,” laughs Melvins bassist Steven McDonald- the guy from Redd Kross and also formerly of Off! And Sparks. “When you talk with Buzz, you can see the wheels turning. He’s taking full advantage of those IQ points. He’s a little bruised, a little scuffed up, like the rest of us. That one thing I relate to him. We’re emotional alley cats.”

McDonald holds an interesting position in the band. He’s been with them for over a decade, but from the outside looking in, it seems that even such a tenure isn’t permanent. The Melvins have had five “permanent bassists,” each which were either let go from or quit the band, due to the usual rock n roll issues- I don’t want to get sued for defamation but you can figure out what they are. Since the departure of Kevin Rutmanis in 2005, the band has had four additional bassists, including Trevor Dunn, Jared Warren (during the period where the Melvins incorporated the entire Big Business band into their own lineup), Jeff Pinkus, and now McDonald who currently is the longest serving Melvins bassist even though fans still often consider him “the new guy.” Since Rutmanis, the band has stated in multiple interviews that they never want to have a permanent bassist again because it has caused so many problems in the past- only people that collaborate with the band.

Osborne says, “Some of the bass players, you find that you are in a situation that isn’t going to work. There have been situations were some members have had extracurricular activities where you can try to continue and you give them every chance and it still doesn’t work and you just have to walk away. You hope for the best because what you really want to see is for them to get it to together. With the bass players, the issues are arrogance and inability to see things for what they are.”

“We’ve never had a sit down discussion about the band relationship,” McDonald explains. “Buzz has been somewhat guarded. I understand that as a band leader or co-leader myself. We’ve never had a ‘so what is this?’ discussion. It works and feels good, so why question it?”

McDonald’s existence as a Melvin shocked many long-term fans at first. The Melvins are known for making heavy, mean, loud music whereas Redd Kross, is something of a malleable power-pop, neo-psyche, glam, self-aware AM radio kind of thing. But, to Osborne’s credit, he could see what others could not and the addition of McDonald shifted the band towards a snappier, rocking territory.

“Performance is probably why they wanted me in the band. I am as big of a ham as they are,” McDonald says. “Buzz and Dale, as much as musicians as they are, they are performers. The other very common thread between the three of us, is similar music taste- Kiss was a very foundational band for us. As much as I love those early Kiss records, it was the Kiss performance that pulled me in. I think that’s something Buzz and Dale like- the ability to entertain as well as create a good musical statement.”

Osborne adds, “I was already a big fan of Steve long before he was in the band, since the late ‘80s or so. Playing in a band with him is a big deal. I despise anyone who doesn’t like Redd Kross. Those people are out of their minds! He’s an amazing talent and an eccentric weirdo like the rest of us! You have to understand that the most creative people in the world are like that because the other aspects of their life have fallen away. You’re not going to find an amazing painter like Francis Bacon and then find out that person is standard and well-rounded! The most talented people I have ever dealt with are awkward in other situations- any good musician is, otherwise I don’t know what they are doing.”

But whereas the exit for Melvins bassists is usually rocky, it was McDonald’s entrance into the band that was a bit bumpy. When McDonald joined the band, he was part of Off!, the Keith Morris fronted act that shifted Morris from being an on-the-oldies-circuit act to a vital piece of the contemporary punk rock landscape. For a time, McDonald switched between Off! and the Melvins (where at first he was just a guest on tour and even switched in and out with Pinkus). But then, Off! came crashing down and imploded. Off! resurrected for the excellent Free LSD LP… which didn’t include McDonald or original drummer Mario Rubalcaba. With Off! Shattered, McDonald appeared to make the Melvins his main squeeze.

“The transition from Off! to Melvins was not easy,” McDonald says. “I was trying to keep Off! happy and they wanted more from me. I was keeping all the balls in the air. In their opinion, I dropped one. I thought I didn’t. it’s a bummer because it ended not the way I wanted it to end… But, recently Keith did an interview for our Redd Kross documentary, so there is some love there. I’m proud of what I did with them. I tried to keep everyone happy and they wanted more… so that’s that. It does get difficult doing things the way I do them- saying ‘yes’ as much as possible and worrying how to get it done later rather than being a closed system. I try to be open to possibilities. What can I say? People are complicated.”

So, one does wonder, even with a ten year Melvin chip in his pocket, does McDonald worry about the band drifting on to a new bassist, or maybe having no bassist at all?

McDonald says, “At times, it has been challenging to step into an organization that is so established, that has such a dedicated following… and I try not to read any chatboards! I am sure earlier on there was a lot of skepticism about me. But, I am one of these people that gets into things and you basically have to kick me out. That’s the same with Buzz. You have dump him or just keep going. There are not big conversations to be had and it keeps working and it keeps getting better. I’m trying to not get too much into expectations and layout the plans. I cooperate! I don’t have the answers to what the future holds.”

Ironically, the future had some devious plans for the Melvins. 2023 was supposed to be the band’s 40th year victory lap, even though to a degree, it felt like they were down playing the event. Early in the year, Japanese metalers Boris (who took their name from the famed Melvins tune) had the idea to go on a full USA tour with the Melvins. On top of that, Boris was going to play all of their Heavy Rocks album while Melvins were going to play all of the iconic Bullhead album, one of the two or three albums that may very well have created the concept of drone metal.

Interestingly, Osborne insisted that the Melvins play BEFORE Boris. Most bands like to beat their chest and play last as the top-dawg headliners. But Osborne, ever the counter-ist, wanted to play before Boris. His stated reason was pragmatic- he’d rather get done earlier in the day.

But, just before the band was ready to launch their victory ship, Crover had to have an emergency back surgery. For most bands, that would put the kibosh on a tour and any future plans. We’ll never know how Osborne truly felt at the time- defeated? Angry at the world? Mildly annoyed? But, instead of folding, he quickly drew Big Business (and former Melvins drummer) Cody Willis back into the band for the tour and with about three practices, they were on the road.

The Bullhead shows were great, but a little odd- the band rumbled and smashed and did justice to the titanic record. As Osborne was up there thrashing in his Mumu, his grey, corkscrew hair flying around wildly, it did seem like he was having a good time. I’ll also add that over the past few years, Osborne has developed a certain stage presentation, as suggested by McDonald, where he leans over his guitar and scowls, and then lumbers around the stage like a stomping giant, almost like he is looking for little Jack and the singing harp. Really, it’s a lot of fun to see and even more fun to hear.

“Buzz loves that ‘Take on Me’ song by A-Ha, so it opened the Bullhead shows,” McDonald says. “When it came out, I hated it with all my heart! They played it constantly at my first job out of high school, which was a sketchy telemarking job. So, at the show, I would come out and do a new wave dance like in a John Hughes film… then I tried to get Buzz to do it with me. ‘You really want to surprise people?! Show ‘em how weird you are? Do a fucking new wave dance with me!’ I think it might be unobtainable, though.”

But, while the shows rocked, it was a little odd that it was Willis behind the kit, not Crover. Not that Willis is a bad drummer- he’s probably the only guy that even attempt to fill Crover’s stool. But still, just when the band was getting ready to celebrate a monumental four decades by playing one of their most renown LPs (which is reknown in part due to Crover's heavy-as-hell drumming), fate wrapped its fingers around Crover’s vertebrae and twisted. Ironic and cruel, no?

Osborne says, “We plan things sometimes two years in advance. But, like the pandemic, you often have to adapt. When the pandemic happened, I didn’t sit there and cry about it. That’s just the way things are. So, we adapted and moved forward.”

Osborne continues, “Dale is my brother, my friend, my co-worker, my bandmate, my working associate, all of those things. All of that combined in any given day. He has his family with kids and all the things that go along with that. I don’t have kids but I have my wife and own home life. We are around each other the whole time nearly half the year. We didn’t see each other that much during the pandemic.”

Werckman comments on Crover, “You know the cliche of the egotistical, spoiled, drug addled, and preening rock star? Dale is the opposite of that. He smells great too.”

As much as an enigma as Osborne can be, at times it seems that Crover is even more alien. He always comes across as friendly. He always seems calm. But every so often, those blonde eyebrows will twitch and Crover will say the darkest, most warped joke or comment, throwing it out there with little delivery until you think about just how dark and twisted that comment was five hours after it lands.

“Dale is a soft-spoken baritone. He does have a very subtle sense of humor,” McDonald says.” I am bit hearing challenged and I had to get hearing device based on his recommendation because I forced him to be too deliberate when speaking to me. It was kind of killing his comedic timing which was subtle . He is of another era, a country western singer, if you will. He’s no bullshit and he makes perfect sense playing in the Melvins. He might not have been writing lyrics or singing the songs but he is the perfect drummer for the Melvins. He has a fucking dry wit, and you have to be sharp to keep up with him. Both Dale and Buzz come from humble backgrounds and they are not pretentious in any way. But, they are also not dummies.”

It’s interesting that McDonald voluntarily mentions the Melvins’ humble background without any prompting. Both Buzz and Dale come from rural Washington state, and while post-grunge people like to romanticize the cold, wet north, both members, Buzz especially, seems kick against those notions. In fact, they both moved to San Francisco fairly early in the band before permanently relocating down to So-Cal. In fact, Crover has now moved into the desert, the least Washingtonian place there is.

Well never truly know just how much of a mark those rural, early years left on the band, in part because even though Buzz will answer pretty much any question you ask him, he’s quite good at withholding details that may have import, all while pushing the conversation forward. But, allow me to speculate.

Osborne admittedly didn’t like high school at all. There wasn’t a ton of money to go around. He didn’t have many friends. He says, “I don’t have a lot of close friends. I know a lot of people. I’m pretty intense person when it comes to that sort of thing. I do things to the limit. Whatever I am involved in, I’m massively into it. So that can drive some people away. I don’t spend a lot of time vegging out. I don’t drink or do drugs, I haven’t in a long time.”

But, here’s what might be most telling. Osborne time and time again, has talked about how he doesn’t like parties, and despite the fact that he moved to LA, schmooze-and-network capital of the world, he hates to schmooze and network.

“Partying or going to the Rainbow or whatever?” he asks. “I hate bullshit like that. I don’t do things like that. I don’t go to parties where I would see rock n rollers. I don’t go to any parties anywhere. If I got to a bar I’m getting paid to be there because I’m working. I wouldn’t go to a Grammy party or an Oscars party… it’s not that I don’t think those things shouldn’t exist, I just don’t… feel comfortable at them. People have asked me to do those kinds of things and I’ve always said, ‘no.’ If that what it takes to rub elbows with the big boys and make it, I’m not cut out for it!”

I asked Buzz why he doesn’t feel comfortable at parties, and he offers this for an answer, that I feel, reveals as much about buzz Osborne as will be revealed; “I’m not intimated by anyone! Not at all! Most of them infuriate me! The business, the music business or the movie business aren’t something I want to be a big part of. I don’t want that to be the case. I’ve steered clear of it for most of my adult music life!”

Indeed, as mentioned before, instead of doing the usual music biz thing and pimping out a 40th anniversary brand for as many income streams as possible, the Melvins released a bunch of new material and went on tour, playing BEFORE another band and kicking out one of their best LPs, albeit, sadly without Crover. So, the Bullhead tour came and went and even the Melvins didn’t seem to make a huge deal out of it- they didn’t have a special reissue of the album at the merch table (though the did have dozens of other handmade reissues). They didn’t sell Bullhead t-shirts. There wasn’t even a big 40th anniversary hoedown show or tour/ And now that their 40th anniversary year is wrapping up, they’ve posted a few social media pictures recapping what they released this year, but if anything, it seems like they are more eager to move on to the next mountain instead of resting on their laurels.

The good news is that Dale has seemingly recovered and is working on a new solo LP. Osborne has already mentioned off hand that there’s an entire NEW Melvins album already completed. There are unconfirmed rumblings of more King Dunn material (Osborne and Trevor Dunn) and there are also rumors of new Redd Kross. In some ways, it almost feels like the band was just trying to get their 40th anniversary out of the way so they could move on to all brand-new stuff.

Osborne says, “We’re working for a living. We’re not a nostalgia act. This is fun, but it’s also a job and not every day is going to be fun. Some days it’s going to be Tuesday in Tallahassee and you are expected to get on stage and play like it is New York City on a Friday. You are a professional and you’re expected to act like a professional. We’re all out here to make a living. We’re not here to rest on our laurels.”

Hazelmyer reflects on the band’s unrelenting work ethic, “The Melvins have a working class professionalism that this is their trade. Touring, recording, all of it, is all taken more seriously than most bands tend to which allows the creative process for a lot of bands to become a burden distracting from their other ‘pursuits.’ Buzz has mentioned other aspects, like touring isn't ‘hard’ if you're not hung over EVERY DAY!… Or comparing the life of a musician to that of his fathers in a sawmill. Considering what the alternatives are for those of us lucky enough to have made a living in the 'biz,' all go a long way to keeping it professional when those alternatives are not discounted or forgotten.”

“I don’t even know what weekend is,” Osborne says. “That makes no sense! 9 to 5 makes no sense! I don’t understand what a vacation is. I don’t know what a holiday is. I’ll work when I fucking want to work. I don’t like people telling me I’m off the clock! If you want to wallow in that kind of thing, weekends off, paid vacations off, then you will wind up in hideous mediocrity for the rest of your life! If that is the dream someone has given you, it’s like they put an anchor to your leg. I will work as hard and as long as I can as I fucking want! If I sat there with a 9 to 5 mentality, I’d have nothing! Stop thinking like a worker bee and start thinking like a champion!”

It is interesting that even when expounding on his own mentality and work ethic, Osborne, without prompting seems to be attacking and arguing with a ghost- a ghost that pops up by Osborne’s own summoning and, like Jacob Marley, wags its finger at Buzz and tells him to stop working. Are there really that many people that go around telling people to work less? That you should only pursue goals from 9 to 5 on weekdays, only? Osborne seems to suggest that this ghost emanates from particular group of people, but I speculate that it’s really the combinate of a select group of people that Buzz encountered in his youth. Yet, interestingly, Buzz still barks at this ghost, or concept, with such vitriol that as much as he doesn’t want to admit, it seems to scare him…

McDonald’s perspective may offer some clarity: “The thing with all the bands I’ve worked with- none of us are mainstream pop bands with one big song that everyone remembers you by, that you are forced to play at whatever casino… not that there is anything wrong with that. I’m sure it’s great if you have that song because the audience is bigger. But in a weird sort of way, it puts us in a forever hopeful up-and-coming position. It feels vital. It definitely keeps me looking to what’s next? What can I prove? I think this job attracts a certain mental profile that is perhaps fragile. Buzz Osborne for instance, you speculated that he is sensitive. He seems grumpy and he doesn’t take shit from anybody and he calls it the way he sees it always… but everything I’m expressing, maybe he identifies with it in some way…”

Void Manes adds an additional way to view the Melvins as moving forward from 40 years of accomplishment: “We should consider the vast range they have covered musically over the past 40 years – so many records that are completely different. They do what they want, and it’s always good and interesting. Most of the best rock bands have had maybe two good albums in them. Melvins probably have at least twenty more good albums still to come on top of what they have already put out. They have a willingness to do weird things. They thrive on that.”

Werckman adds, “They Melvins have lasted forty years they don't pay attention to anyone else. They just concentrate on what they do. They are content to be exactly who they are and where they are.”

Osborne pauses (a rare event) when he ponders the next era of the Melvins and the Melvins legacy, something he is adamant that he doesn’t consider often. He says, “We’ve achieved a lot. I don’t have a lot of other lofty goals. I just want to continue working. I… I… don’t know. I’m very grateful for what I’ve achieved and what I have. I don’t take it for granted. I don’t spend a lot time thinking about what I should have. I think about what I get. I find you’ll be a much happier person that way.”

He continues, “I don’t have an idea the we will sell millions of records or have hot records or have the respect of platinum stars or that they will take us under their wings and sell bazillion for records. I’m very happy with what we have and what we can do. If that’s as good as it gets, I’m happy with that. I don’t have an end plan for the band. I hear professional skateboarders retire when they don’t want to do it anymore or they can’t or no one cares. So far, we haven’t reached that point.”

American alternative metal/hardcore punk band, Melvins, originally formed in Montesano, Washington, and currently consists of Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover, Jared Warren and Coady Willis.

Formed in 1983 by high school mates, Buzz Osborne (guitar/vocals), Matt Lukin (bass), and Mike Dillard (drums). They started off playing cover songs of Jimi Hendrix and Cream, and experimenting with hardcore punk music. Dillard decided to move on, who was soon replaced by Dale Crover. In 1985 C/Z Records was created and released their first album that featured four songs, and then in 1986 the band released their own debut EP, followed by their full-length album “Gluey Porch Treatments” in 1987.

In 1990 the band recorded and released “Bullhead” followed by a tour of Europe. In 1993 they were signed by Atlantic Records, releasing their first major label album “Houdini;” however, they were dropped three albums later. The band then signed with Amphetamine Reptile Records, and released their next album “Honky” in the same year (1997). The years to follow found the band re-mastering old songs, returning to old sounds, and in 2003 Atlantic Records (UK) released a compilation track of their top hits when the band was signed with Atlantic.

In Fall 2006 the band set out on tour to promote their newest album “(A) Senile Animal” and in July 2008 released “Nude With Boots.” After a series of tours and a few more albums, the band also had a side project called Melvins Lite consisting of Dunn, Dale and Buzz). Melvins Lite went on a record breaking tour in 2012, performing every night for 51 days. On 14 July 2014 the band announced their newest album “Hold It In.”

Live reviews

When someone mentions the grunge genre attention is immediately turned to Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, etc… but often time people forget one of the true pioneers of the genre, The Melvins.

While they’re not strictly a grunge band, they share many elements of the genre along with aspects of metal, alternative, punk and hardcore. The sludgy rock band has been together for nearly 30 years and are still performing live and putting on great shows as well.

Buzz Osbourne, the lead guitarist, vocalist, and all around interesting guy is one of the most unique front man in rock ‘n roll. Even if you’re not familiar with his music, you more than likely know him by his Side Show Bob hairstyle.

While the band isn’t as hard around the edges as they used to be, the more senior members are all near 50 years old at this point, they’re still able to pull off a crunching live set. Most of their shows these days tend to flip between electric and acoustic elements. It’s a nice change of pace and you get to hear re-worked versions of some classic songs like “Shevil,” “Eyes Fly,” and “Inner Ear Rupture” amongst others.

The Melvins aren’t as nasty as they used to be, but they’re every bit as exciting still.

Report as inappropriate

There is a large debate when discussing the Melvins, what is bigger? The blistering metal guitar riffs or lead singer Buzz Osbourne's hair. The group's music has been described as a variety of things over the years including sludge metal, doom metal, stoner rock, drone metal and grunge. With labels like this attached you have some sort of understanding of the tone the band achieves when performing live. It is a somber, dark affair with the band filing onto stage in a manner similar to a funeral procession.

Through the gloom comes thumping drums, piercing percussion and that synonymous vocal of Buzz that is unlike many of his contemporaries. The group that formed over three decades ago is intent on showcasing two of its most critically acclaimed albums this evening 'Stoner Witch' and 'Bullhead'. These are performed in a two set mentality and the crowds are delighting in this solid choice, a clear winner with the early fans. The music is played in a reimagined order yet sounds equally good. It is clear as to why Melvins have had such a detrimental influence on the Seattle grunge from where they were formed.

The music was outstanding. Of course, the Melvins put on a great show with every single note hitting like a truck, both volume and delivery-wise. Maybe one of the best parts about their bass heavy sound might be the fact that they can get a lot louder than most bands without leaving your ears ringing for the next few days; it's the mid-range that's dangerous to hearing. Their opener, Helms Alee, was wonderful as well. That may have been the first time I was genuinely enamoured by an opening set. Their sound was somewhat psychedelic and definitely heavy, which led into the Melvins quite well. They joined the Melvins on stage for a fantastic finale: two basses, two guitars, and two drums. The only thing that I couldn't stand about the show was the crowd. The mosh pit was far too wide, was more slippery than an ice rink, and was filled with only 200+lb guys. I love mashing, but I also love being alive. There were also some older guys who were drugged out and trying to start fights, but the security couldn't even calm them down. That was all annoying, but the band's more than made up for it.

It was cancelled. we were very disappointed.

The Melvins concert in Dallas, Texas at Trees was one concert I will never forget. The concert venue was small creating an intimate setting which makes for great sound and acoustics. The Melvins are a group which do not talk much on stage, but make up for it sure power and energy (who wants to hear a bunch of talking right?). They came out and rocked the house for what seemed almost three hours. Just the sheer appearance of King Buzzo drove the crowd mad! The mosh pit was circling being driven by the sheer sludge sounds of the band.I was totally blown away by the bands energy and tone. The Melvins totally melted our faces off, and blew us away. Consider me a fan for life!

First time in Paradiso Tolhuistuin and must say was pleasently surprised. Great sound and good views made the Melvins experience once again one to remember. Buzz, Steven and Dale did their thing which they have done so many times but with an energy like you rarely see anymore.

It must also be awesome to be in a band that has created a huge and diverse repertoire, to draw from to make any live event something unique.

The crowd sucked it up, eventhough they were perhaps secretly hoping for more of the old classics.

I can recommend anyone to go and check out the Melvins live, you will be blasted away with a great mix of heavyness.

I’ve been going to see Melvins since 1991 and after last night’s show, I can say that they have never rocked harder. The set contained classics from Ozma, Bullhead, Houdini and Stoner Witch. There was also a sprinkling of new and less known stuff as well. Redd Kross was amazing and totally high energy. The collaboration between the two bands and the crossover of members was so cool. All the members of both could interchange easily... except Buzz of course, he has one home. The only bummer was that Shitkid didn’t play. I was really looking forward to seeing her.

What’s to say? Redd Kross and Melvins that’s all anyone needs to know. They both played power hour sets. Steven and Dale definitely earned their money pulling double duty for both sets. I’d seen something I never have before. The headlining band play a cover of the opening band while opening band member played with headliner!!! WTF!!! Then to see both bans merge for two songs at the end was pretty rad. The Grog Shop once again proved to be the place to see live music in Cleveland. I love the venue and the staff is awesome.

Sandwiched between Eye Flies and Night Goat was an hour-long sandwich of throwaway material. Usually, Melvins are okay, but last night was pretty disappointing. ...which is fine, shit happens, but these guys used to be a force to be reckoned with. Now it seems they've acquiesced to more or less phoning it in with mishmash of hard rock songs, minus the time changes and the dynamics that once made them so great. It is was like witnessing a poorly executed Melvins cover band.

Amazing show! So tightly, musically woven are these guys! Every note and beat was in perfect harmony! My neck hurts from it bopping all night! It was a show I want to hear over and over again! I hope they record and release the set we heard on Valentine’s Night! The acoustics at the Mystic made it even more magical, as I have seen the Melvin’s at different venues, but this night was awesome! Honey to my ears!

King Buzzo , a.k.a. Buzz Osborne , is the singer, guitar player and founder of the enormously influential band, the Melvins. His innovative approach to songwriting, and guitar playing, has influenced countless musicians, and turned leagues of music lovers into ardent fans. Renowned for his pioneering use of down-tuned strings, Buzzo masterfully blended his punk and metal influences, and in turn, he created a groundbreaking new sound in heavy music. Over Osborne’s extensive career, which originated in the small hamlet of Montesano, Wash. in 1983, he has released over 30 albums under the Melvins’ moniker, two solo albums [Gift of Sacrifice (2020) and This Machine Kills Artists (2014)], as well as a number of collaborative projects including Fantômas and Crystal Fairy.

Trevor Dunn might be most widely known for his work with Mr. Bungle, the eclectic and unpredictable Northern California band he co-founded in 1985, but his career outside of Mr. Bungle has been just as notable. Also a member of Fantômas, Trevor Dunn’s Trio-Convulsant, Tomahawk and Melvins Lite, Dunn has also written music for various ensembles, performed extensively with John Zorn, and recently formed Riverworm Records, a label home for “discarded, forgotten, and misunderstood music.”

The Melvins Announce Co-Headlining Tour with Boris “Twins of Evil Tour”

The Melvins, continuing their 40 th anniversary celebrations, have announced the “Twins of Evil Tour,” a seven-week trek that sees the Los Angeles-by-way-of-Washington band joined by Japanese trio Boris, with both groups performing classic albums in their entirety: Bullhead (Melvins) and Heavy Rocks (Boris).

“40 years as the Melvins!!! What better way to celebrate that unlikely milestone than by setting off on the ‘Twins of Evil Tour’ with our friends, Boris,” Buzz Osborne shares of a set that will see the iconic band perform the beloved Bullhead album in its entirety, as well as additional tracks across their discography. “This will be a stone groove!”

Boris’ Takeshi adds: “Could anyone have predicted such an astonishing event, that Boris and the Melvins would tour the entire USA together? Since the mid-1980s, the Melvins have had an enormous influence on artists of all genres not only limited to heavy music, and have brought forth a surge of faithful followers over the years. Needless to say, Boris is just one of these many bands influenced by the mighty Melvins, and we took our name from a song title off of the 1991 album, Bullhead .”

The Melvins have already had an eventful 40 th anniversary year, recently wrapping up a stint on the Ipecac Geek Show tour with labelmates Mr. Bungle and Spotlights, before venturing overseas for the band’s first European outing since 2018. The group were also recently featured on a series of Revolve r covers, marking their 1983 inception with a trio of portraits shot by Tool’s Adam Jones. Ipecac Recordings has spent the year highlighting previously released Melvins’ albums with quick-to-sell-out vinyl reissues. Currently available are Tres Cabrones , Houdini Live 2005 , and The Bulls & The Bees + Electroretard .

Tickets for the “Twins of Evil Tour” are on-sale this Friday, June 9, at 10 am local time. Mr. Phylzzz opens on all dates.

About The Melvins

The Melvins are one of modern music’s most influential bands. Having formed in 1983 in Montesano, Washington, the group founded by singer/guitar player Buzz Osborne (with stalwart drummer Dale Crover joining the following year), has been credited with merging the worlds of punk rock and heavy music, forming a new subgenre all its own. Over the band’s 40-year history, they’ve released 30-plus original albums, numerous live full-lengths and far too many to count singles and rarities. In the course of their discography, they’ve partnered with Jello Biafra, Mudhoney, and Fantômas for individual releases and toured the world many times over. In fact, the band had the misfortune to be in both Christchurch and Tokyo for their 2011 earthquakes. In 2012, the Melvins completed the “51 States in 51 Days” (50 states +DC) tour, which was chronicled in the film “Across The USA in 51 Days.” The current incarnation of the band is Osborne, Crover, and Steven McDonald (Redd Kross/OFF!). Previous line-ups include a pairing of Osborne and Crover with Big Business band members Jared Warren and Coady Willis, a four-piece featuring the current trio plus Butthole Surfers’ Jeff Pinkus, as well as Melvins Lite, which partners Osborne and Crover with Mr. Bungle’s Trevor Dunn. Sometimes, if you’re extra lucky, one version of the Melvins will open for the Melvins.

Melvins Celebrate 40 Years Of Heavy Riffs

And king buzzo has some stories to tell.

For a guy whose riffs have influenced generations of musicians and helped spawn several genres, namely grunge and sludge metal, King Buzzo aka Buzz Osborne doesn’t spend too much time thinking about his legacy. Instead, Osborne is too busy continuing to churn out material at a truly impressive rate. Just last year, his band, Melvins, released their 27th studio album Bad Mood Rising and, according to Osbourne, they just finished up number 28.

Melvins just hit their 40-year mark as a band and are celebrating the milestone with a co-headlining tour alongside legendary Japanese rock band Boris. It’s a fitting match, as Boris took their name from a song off Melvins’ 1991 album Bullhead . The tour arrives in Seattle Friday, September 1, at the Showbox—it will be a night of loud amps to the face.

Instead of soaking up the glory and basking in the anniversary limelight, Osborne has a much more practical, down-to-earth take on Melvins' ability to stand the test of time. When I bring up the idea of being a band for four decades, he practically laughs it off.

“It's a big deal, I guess,” Osborne said. “I'm glad I'm still able to make a living at doing what I'm doing. And nobody's buying me out and firing me. So that's good.”

Melvins will be playing this tour without their longtime drummer Dale Crover, who joined the band back in 1984, just one year after they got their start. On August 23, Melvins posted an update to social media announcing Crover would be sitting out the tour to undergo immediate emergency spinal surgery. In his place will be Big Business and High on Fire drummer Coady Willis. A good majority of these songs won’t be anything new for Willis, as he played with Melvins for a number of years when they had two drummers.

Though Osborne has spent the majority of his music career outside Washington, he has strong ties to the Northwest—he grew up in the small town of Montesano and honed his craft practicing in an Aberdeen basement, the same town where Nirvana would later blossom. Kurt Cobain often praised Melvins as one of his main musical influences.

“Ideas we had and influence we had changed music on a global level. I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about that kind of stuff, but it's the truth. People can rewrite history any way they want to, but just wouldn't be true. They think that since we haven't had gold albums and played arenas that what we did doesn't matter. But you know, for the vast majority of people that buy records by the millions, they wouldn't like our stuff.”

There was a period there where Melvins flirted with mainstream success. Back in 1993, Atlantic signed the band and released three of their albums Houdini , Stoner Witch, and Stag .

“I didn't think it would work,” Osborne said. “I thought they would do one album and we would be done. I didn't view it as our shot and then that's it. I didn't view it that way. I viewed it as just a little side road we were gonna go on for a little while. But surprisingly, they did three albums. No one was more surprised about that than me. I think they used us as, like, a kind of a badge of legitimacy. ‘Look, we're cool. We have this band.’ But I liked to be on the same label as the Stones and Zeppelin and Aretha Franklin. It was kind of nice.”

For most of their career, Melvins have done things their own way. Of course, with every band that’s been around for this long, there are bound to be a few exceptions. For Osborne, one of those exceptions, which he looks back on with nothing but disgust, was playing the 1998 Ozzfest.

“It was hideous. The people surrounding it and the people running it were a bunch of fucking assholes. I couldn't have felt less welcome by the powers that be on that thing. I would rather deal with dickheads at a country club golf course than have to deal with the bigger dickheads who work for gigantic rock and roll extravaganza stuff. They're there some of the worst people in the world.”

Osborne admitted this was back in a time when Melvins were trying something new and attempting to play in front of different crowds. He assured me he would never put up with something like that again.

“I write my own ticket now, as far as that's concerned, and have for a very long time,” he said. “You're not paying me enough to put up with this crap. Life's too short. Fuck you. Shove all your shit right up your ass. Punk rock taught me a long time ago to not have much patience for that sort of thing. You treat me right, I'll be your best friend. You treat me wrong and as far as I'm concerned, I would drown you in the bathtub.”

With such an immense body of work, it would be damn near impossible to break down every single song with Osborne, so I picked eight tracks from the past 40 years—some hits, some deeper cuts—to learn more about the stories behind the songs.

“At a Crawl,” Ozma (1989)

“I know I wanted to have a song that started with the drums. It was a fun one to do. We play it live once in a while. It’s fairly grinding. It's kind of the way I envision heavy metal should be, to some degree. It’s a really, really fun riff. Interesting. I look back on that stuff and I’m like, ‘Wow, I like that stuff a lot.’ That's a fun one. That's a good early song of ours that I probably will always enjoy playing.”

“Zodiac,” Bullhead (1991)

“I centered that song around the sound effect that I came up with by bending the string over the top edge of the neck of the guitar. And it makes this ‘reeeeeee’ weird sound. It's a fairly fast song, which is fun. I really dug the ending of the song, the riff I came up with for that was a lot of fun. I think I wrote that one fairly quickly. I remember I wrote that in San Francisco in my bedroom. I had a little guitar amp that I played stuff through and put it all on cassette tapes. I know I wanted to switch gears halfway through. It has a linear factor that doesn't really repeat much. The beginning and the ending don't have much to do with each other, which I kind of hear that in a way like Captain Beefheart… I've read that he has said stuff like, ‘If you repeat stuff too much it becomes corny.’ I don’t always do that, but I kind of understand what he means.”

“Goin' Blind” (KISS cover), Houdini (1993)

“I always thought that song was really creepy sounding. I think Gene Simmons… because of the odd way that he looks and how he acts onstage in his costumes… I think people have kind of not taken seriously what a talent he really is. He's a great bass player and he's an exceptionally good singer. You never hear anybody say that. I think he's got one of the best rock and roll voices that there's ever been. He's a fantastic singer and a really great player. All those guys are good players. Unfortunately, people don't see that, but he's far better than people imagine. Just on a musician level.”

“Revolve,” Stoner Witch (1994)

“Well we never really had any hits, but KISW tried to play it a bit, but I don’t know what it takes to get songs played on there. And the label obviously didn’t know what it takes to get songs played on there either. There's somebody there that played it for a minute. Then I saw it had this many plays. Then I saw the other bands that they were playing hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times more than us and I was like, ‘Okay, it's not going to work out.' ( Laughs ) Thanks for the push. But that song was really fun. I came up with a guitar riff and the whole aspect of the song in San Francisco in a hotel. I remember sitting on the edge of the bed in a hotel that was near the San Francisco Zoo. I could hear the monkeys going crazy in their cages. That was kind of the backdrop. I'll never forget that. So, I wrote that weird riff to begin at the beginning and then go to a really long descending riff that kind of circled itself. It took me a couple passes to kind of figure out how to get it all melded together. But in the end, it came out pretty cool. I really liked that song. It's always fun to play and worked out really good. That's one of the better ones. But it's a little more conventional than what we normally do. So, I have to live with that.”

“Yuppie Cadillac,” Never Breathe What You Can’t See , Jello Biafra with the Melvins (2004)

“I wanted to work with Jello, as a fan. I always felt the music industry in general, whether people understood it or not, owed him a great deal just for his dealings with the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center). I thought he had kind of taken one for the team, which was cool. The way I looked at it was kind of a payback for everything he'd done for everybody else. We ended up doing two albums with him. But with 'Yuppie Cadillac,' I was like, ‘Jello, that's kind of corny. Can't we just can't do something like 'I Kill Children,' or 'Chemical Warfare’? If you work with somebody like that, you gotta expect them to do that. But he always wrote goofy songs. You know, like 'Winnebago Warrior' and stuff like that. So, I just went along with it. I haven't heard that one in a long time. If you work with somebody it's a lot of give and take."

“A History Of Bad Men,” (A) Senile Animal (2006)

“Yeah, that's a great riff that I wrote when I was working with Kat (Bjelland) from Babes in Toyland on a soundtrack. Some ill-fated soundtrack. That riff got used, but I didn't think it got used in a good way so I just recycled it into my own song. And Jared (Warren), when he was in the band, he played bass and he wrote the vocal melody which came out really good. I wrote the music. It's a really good one and a fun one to play live. We've been playing that live recently.”

“The Smiling Cobra,” Nude With Boots (2008)

“That's a fairly complex and complicated song. A lot of our stuff is far more complicated than people think. It's tough to play. We haven’t played that in eight years, probably. But it's complicated metal. I would say that song was like what Captain Beefheart would sound like if he had been playing heavy metal.”

“Evil New War God,” The Bride Screamed Murder (2010)

“Evil New War God is one we still play. I wanted to do something that had a big drum solo at the end. At the time we had two drummers and they were trading off drum solos. But our drummer now, Dale (Crover), he just does them all in a row, which is really fun. That's always really good. I've always thought in terms of how the drums work when I write songs. That one is I think one of our best songs. People go ‘Why do you guys always play that?’ I don't know. Why did the Who always play 'Won't Get Fooled Again'? Why? I don't know. It's a good song. I would say it's certainly in the top 10 of songs I've written.”

Melvins and Boris play the Showbox Friday, September 1 at 8 pm, $35-$40, 21+.

MR. BUNGLE announce 2023 U.S. tour with MELVINS

Mr. Bungle 2023 press 1600x900, Buzz Osborne

Mr. Bungle have announced their first set of tour dates in three years. The band led by the inimitable Mike Patton — who returned to the stage late last year after canceling a slew of 2021 tour dates for "mental health reasons" — will be playing a handful of U.S. shows later this spring with the sludge-grunge pioneers, the Melvins , and post-metal band Spotlights (featuring Revolver' s own Chris Enriquez).

The bill is actually a resurrection of the Geek Show tour, a package put together by Ipecac Recordings in the early 2000s that exclusively featured bands from that label. This iteration of the tour will feature seven dates, all taking place on the West Coast of the U.S.

"The Geek Show tours of the past were some of the best live show experiences I've ever had," Patton said in a press release. "Hanging out with friends that are also some of my favorite musicians is a great way to spend a couple weeks. This iteration is a mindblower. You will want to be the first one there and the last to leave this party! The mighty Melvins and Spotlights will prove to be a challenge for Mr. Bungle to follow. I only wish we could take this package around the globe."

Tickets go on sale Friday January 27th at 10 a.m. local time. See the full list of dates below.

Mr. Bungle, Melvins, Spotlights 2023 tour dates: May 11 Los Angeles, CA Palladium May 13 Las Vegas, NV Sick New World Festival * May 16 Denver, CO Mission Ballroom May 17 Salt Lake City, UT Union Event Center May 19 Seattle, WA Showbox May 21 Portland, OR Crystal Ballroom May 23 Oakland, CA Fox Theater

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
