“Just a reminder, there are still some tickets left for the ATP festival in England curated by Patton and the Melvins, come on, come camping with us!!!!
Also tickets left for the London Director’s Cut show on Dec 8th and the New Years show in San Francisco. These shows WILL sell out. Grab em now!!!!”

Our French friends strike again, gotta love em. Check out this recent interview of Buzz done while the Melvins were recently touring Paris, and some pics from their Paris gig. Nice work Shinji.

“Hey, all you Dvd craving peeps. Here is a cool one for you. We had a very special live performance of the Fantômas Melvins Big Band taped a couple years ago in England and it came out GREAT. The band ripped that night and friends of ours fancied up the footage and alas a Big Band Dvd is out everywhere now. We hope to do more of these as well.

Who knows when or if this group of musicians will play together again, it is a great souvenir of 2 bands joining forces to play each others songs.

As a bonus, we even did a top secret commentary track, where limoncello aficionado, Danny DeVito and friends like Dale & Buzz from the Melvins break down the concert to give you behind the scenes insight into the show. (well, that is what they were supposed to do, but they get a little side tracked)”

Go grab a copy now

There is also a snippet from the DVD on the new ipecac site

The Fantomas Melvins DVD - Live from London 2006 is due out on the 26th of August and from all accounts it is well worth the wait. If you’re a fan make sure you grab a copy if not for the concert, for the rambling and mostly unrelated commentary featuring among others, Ipecac’s good buddy Danny Devito.

Little Dale Crover interview over here

Short and sweet article over at the Seattle Weekly discussing the melvins and their new release, Nude with Boots.

“They always told us if we would hang out with the radio people here more, we’d get more attention,” Buzz recalls. “That’s just jive! You mean I have to hang out at some coke party with a bunch of dumb-asses in order to get them interested in our band? Wrong guy. Drop us now, please.”

From ipecac:

“No, that’s not a typo. The Melvins are doing an in-store performance on Tuesday July 15, 2008. It starts at 6PM and promises to be “family entertainment on another level.” Bring your earplugs and don’t forget, “Nude with Boots” is out now. So do you and your ears a favor and get the CD. You’ll thank me later.
