The Melvins will be playing a few shows in Australia and New Zealand in January 2009 as described below:
Word on the street is that Melvins will be playing some shows in Australia in January ’09 while Fantomas is down under doing the Big Day Out 2009 festival dates. Be sure to check Ipecac’s calendar for up to date info on Fantomas shows. These Melvins dates will most likely be the lineup of Buzz, Dale, & Trevor Dunn on bass. The tentative dates so far:
- January, 15 2009 – Aukland, New Zealand – TBA
- January, 22 2009 – Sydney, Australia – TBA
- January, 27 2009 – Melbourne, Australia – Ding Dong Lounge
Too bad the Melbourne show is on a weeknight otherwise I would have considered going over. From what I understand this isn’t a proper tour and I look forward to a The Melvins/Big Business tour later in 2009…
