According to a post from Blair on Toolband/Army, a limited amount of original Adam Jones artpieces will be sold at the appearances at Grumpy‘s Bar. While we’re talking about the Melvins, I heard on the Melvins Forum that any Melvins gigs in Australia next month will be “secret” shows and not part of an official tour. It also won’t include Big Business, so I’d guess maybe two shows, one in… Read More »AJ Artwork For Sale, Melvins Oz Gigs
