The Melvins schedule six town residency tour

Posted on by

The Melvins announced recently that they will be visiting six towns in the USA, playing a two night residency in each town. According to the blurb:

The upcoming performances will feature the same set list in each city with the first night kicking off with the band performing songs from Lysol and Egg Nog followed by a second set of music from Houdini. The second night in each mini-residency will be Bullhead for the first set and Stoner Witch for the second. There will be no opening artists for this tour.

Sounds pretty cool to me. Dates are:

  • May 13 Seattle, WA – The Crocodile
  • May 14 Seattle, WA – The Crocodile
  • May 16 San Francisco, CA – Great American Music Hall
  • May 17 San Francisco, CA – Great American Music Hall
  • May 27 Austin, TX – Mohawk
  • May 28 Austin, TX – Mohawk
  • May 31 Chicago, IL – Double Door
  • June 1 Chicago, IL – Double Door
  • June 3 Boston, MA – Paradise Rock Club
  • June 4 Boston, MA – Paradise Rock Club
  • June 6 Brooklyn, NY – Music Hall of Williamsburg
  • June 7 Brooklyn, NY – Music Hall of Williamsburg

Thanks to our buddies at I Heart Noise for the news!

Puscifer Keep It Moving

Blahmoo spotting a new shirt in the coming soon section of the Puscifer site today, presumably while checking out the Rocket Man cover:

Ladies 2010 Event teee

So does this mean there is a tour coming soon? I guess we have to wait and see…

Update: Word is this may the shirt from a previous tour, just with a misprint.  Who knows!  Personally I’d rather see Tool hit the studio and/or tour Australia than Puscifer doing the rounds again, but whatever floats their boat I guess…

According to an article on Limewire, the forthcoming Melvins tour will include dates with Isis, and for those shows without Isis, the Melvins will play two sets.  Not sure which one I’d be more interested in to be honest:

The Melvins may have just recently had their 25th band birthday, but they’re showing no signs of slowing down. They’ll be supporting The Bride Screamed Murderall over the country in June and July, sharing bills with alt-metallists ISIS and Totimoshi, including an appearance at Bonnaroo, so there are plenty of chances for you to get Melvined this summer.

June 1     San Diego, CA     Casbah
June 2     Tempe, AZ     The Clubhouse
June 3     Albuquerque, NM     The Launchpad
June 5     Austin, TX     Emo’s
June 7     Houston, TX     Warehouse Live

The cover for the new album The Bride Screamed Murder has also been revealed:

Before you ask apparently it’s not a joke.

Isis announce Sidewaves

We’ve know for a couple of months now that Isis are touring Australia as part of the Soundwave Festival in February 2010.  Today the band announced that they will be playing a series of sideshows on the East Coast:

  • February 18th Brisbane @ The Hi-Fi
  • February 23rd Sydney @ Manning Bar
  • February 25th Melbourne @ The Corner Hotel

For those that missed it, they are also playing shows in Auckland and Wellington for our comrades across the Tasman.   Apparently Baroness are supporting them in Japan following these dates, so I’d say there’s a good chance they’ll also support for these shows as well.

Update: Ticketing and venue information can be found here. Thanks Jimmy666.  All shows are 18+.  Tickets on sale on the 20th of November and are about $50 each.

Holiday On The Moon

The Revolver website today has a short interview with Maynard on it’s site today, mainly focusing on Puscifer and their recent Love And Rockets cover. He also briefly talks about touring plans:

How do you feel Puscifer’s live component worked out earlier this year? Will you be touring?
We are planning a “Sherman’s March to the Sea, Redux, (Version 1).” It starts on the West Coast right before Halloween and goes to December 5. Lather, rinse, repeat in March 2010, but more towards the East Coast.

You can alo listen to the new track on at the link.  Thanks to Cory for the tip!

MJK Tweets Puscifer Tour Info

Maynard recently tweeted a hint that there could be further Puscifer shows later this year:

Confirming a few Fall Dates. No East Coast. Sorry. Maybe next year. (Puscifer, in case that wasn’t clear or you’re lost.)

For those that are seasonally challenged, this means some time in September, October or November.  Hopefully Maynard will also find some time to help record a Tool album, as well as his duties on the vineyards.

As to the location – who knows.  If it’s not the East Coast, then I’d guess some larger towns on the West.  Possibly LA again?  San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Vancouver?
