The Melvins will be releasing their new album ‘Freak Puke’ on the 5th June via Ipecac.

Aside from the awesome cover art what makes this extra special is that it is a studio recording by the ‘Melvins Lite’ version of the band featuring Buzz, Dale & Trevor Dunn on bass.

“This is what we do for a living, and we’re fortunate enough to have a job that we like. It could be a lot worse. A job playing music—hey, that’s what I wanted to do when I was a kid. I feel fortunate.”

Melvins Interview at SludgeFactory

gronk

The Melvins join the aussie Soundwave tour starting in Brisbane on Saturday the 26th of Feb. They also join Primus for a couple of solo shows in Sydney and Melbourne. This interview coincides with the aussie tour:

www.sludgefactory.com.au/soundwave-abuzz-melvins

“We’re an eclectic band, an acquired taste! We’re not normal by any means – nothing normal about it. Normal to us is strange to everyone else. I’ve always felt like a weirdo and I don’t have a problem with that! Having said that, I live a pretty conservative lifestyle. I’ve been married for seventeen years to the same woman. I’m very devoted. I don’t drink”

Also a recent audio interview of Dale conducted by a New Zealand blogger ahead of the Soundwave  can be found here.

Hattip to the boiled frog. He also supplied all the recent Club Spaceland setlists from the Melvins Jan residency on this post.

I’ll be at the Enmore show, anyone else headin there?

The Bride Screamed Murder Vinyl

gronk

Due 2011 on Amphetamine Reptile Records:

“The pix on FB are just for the TEST PRESSINGS. The actual Brides vinyl is gonna be splatter color! They’ll all have a manufactured sleeve (designed by Mackie). Then we’re getting a bunch of artists lined up, and Mackie will be doing 100 letterpress prints of their art that will be affixed to the manufactured sleeves. There will be 10 different letterpress designs.

Don’t know how much they’ll be yet. The test pressings are hitting eBay to offset productions costs. Releasing ‘em in batches throughout 2011. Of course hardcore BOARDIES can get first pick on the mailorder allotments.”

Soundwave announced yesterday that Primus will be joining forces with The Melvins in Melbourne for a Soundwave sideshow. The mayhem occurs on Thursday the 3rd of March at the Palais Theatre.

Tix onsale Friday 29th of October through Ticketmaster. Still no news on the Sydney equivalent, probably because the Sydney Soundwave is yet to sell out whereas Melbourne has.

The Melvins join Soundwave 2011 Tour

gronk

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 icon biggrin The Melvins join Soundwave 2011 Tour
