Ipecac News: Fantomas/Melvins Big Band Release Announcement

Friday, September 5th, 2008

“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

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

“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.”
