Ipecac Recordings has teamed up with Portland toy company, UNKL, to produce more of those lovable little creatures like the Melvins Qee! Unfortunately, they will not be released in time for Xmas wish lists, however you might want to save some of your Xmas money because these adorable little collectibles will be very limited. First, check out the whole collection:(To see a bigger version of th...
Friend showed me this video recently. I don't think it's new but it's still awesome. Apparently there's this thing called Pancake Mountain that tries to get kids involved with music or something like that. So here is the Melvins, showing the little ones how to rock:
I'm going to do a series of instrumentals, or at least mostly instrumental anyways. This is one of my favorites. It's from Melvins. And yes I have the vinyl and it's that freakin cool to see!
Last Wednesday I went to Austin to see the Melvins, who are playing a few scattered dates across the country to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Quite a long time for a band for sure, especially since they have been around longer and/or outlasted their Seattle contemporaries.We got to the city a couple hours early and decided to walk down 6th Street and take in the sights. If you've never ...
The Melvins have announced a jam-packed tour of the US from mid-September to mid-October. They will be screening the new DVD they created with hipster cartoon toy designer Dalek - "Purge of Dissidents" at each show! Big Business will be opening the shows, but first The Melvins play one show with Mudhoney in LA (which will also screen the new DVD). The tour starts on the west coast on Septemb...
I'd heard a lot about Melvins, but I still went in not knowing what to expect.They were louder and heavier than I suspected, most noise coming from the two drummers, who played in perfect sync.... HOW do they do that? It created such.. power and energy, I spent more time in the photo pit staring slack-jawed at them that I did taking photos. They were great, they rocked and everything, but I cou...
I'm really into rock n' roll. And my new favorite rock album is A Senile Animal by Melvins. If you are into rock, you need to check out this album. I think defshep has it up on his multiply page if you have a multiply membership. Catchy lyrics, rockin riffs....this album gets a big thumbs up from me.

This year i have seen too few live shows. As a result my once-desensitised hearing has become like an old geezer's, and my social life has not been what it was. Truth is, it's because of an extreme lack of funds, and that depresses me. So far i've only attended shows by Bonzo Dog Band and Red Hot Chili Peppers this year, and Reading Festival. I missed Deerhoof. Wolfmother. Tool. Et cetera. Slid...
Melvins - The Maggot CD newThis album is the first in a trilogy released by the melvins (the bootlicker and crybaby to follow). This part shows off the heaviest side of the melvins and is the best heavy album that I have heard in years. Agreeably it will not be for everyone as the Melvins go out of their way to make it as uncomercial as possible, which makes it all the better. The first track, ...
The Garage in London will be home to two gigs put on by the fine people at All Tomorrow's Parties during the month of December. On the first date, December 8, 2009, sludge-rock band Melvins will be supported by Witch.
You would think that a remix album would be a pretty simple, straight-forward project for a band to release. Like many things Melvins, this is not the case. First off, the Melvins did not give their remixers a song each to remix, but an entire album from which to construct a song from, [...]
