Forgot to post this the other day when the line up leaked, but the Melvins will be making the trek down under next February to join the annual Australian music festival Soundwave, which hosted both Isis and Faith No More earlier this year.

Last time the Melvins were in Oz, Trevor Dunn filled in the bass duties. I’m guessing it will be the full entourage this time including the big biz boys, which should be interesting.

I’m hoping  there will be Melvins solo shows as I really don’t want to have to go to soundwave

I have come across some amazing pics lately and I was planning on posting them individually, but I thought why not make it a festive December pics round up post.

First up we have the talented Chantel with some very impressive Umlaut pics taken at the recent Umlaut and Les Claypool show at the Enmore, Sydney:

Check out the full set here or hit her website: chantelbann.com

Next up is a couple of sets from the recent Melvins Euro tour, bramdauw’s Geneva Set:

and Shinji’s Melvins (and Porn) Paris Set:

And lastly (thanks to cv), an awesome Faith No More set from isrtinez

The Melvins’ latest album has just been released on red vinyl. The goss from ipecac:

“Timing is everything. You demanded it, so here it is, the most recent, classic, Melvins release, “Nude With Boots” is now available on red vinyl, as a single LP in a double gatefold package. Vinyl collectors begin to drool. It smells real purdy too.”
