Almost Live Series @ Joyful Noise Recordings

Joyful Noise brings you our new "Almost Live from Joyful Noise" series, which features limited edition singles from some of our favorite artists, recorded at the label's Indianapolis-based performance space. Tracked live in the empty space (hence almost live), each release in the series is cut on the spot using a 1940s record lathe and is limited to just 100 copies on hand-made 7" records with screen-printed jackets.

The semi-regular series -- which will produce a new release every month or two -- kicked off with a special performance by the Melvins. With the help of Teri from Le Butcherettes, the band recorded a cover the the Bikini Kill classic "Rebel Girl". While the limited edition 7" is now sold out, you can watch a video of the rare performance.

We thank our friends at Pabst Blue Ribbon for making this killer series happen.

Seems to me the Big Business Melvins ain't doing much business anymore. I feel like they've only really done like two tours since 2012.

Big Business have done a bit of touring in that time as well, and from memory one of them started a family, which no doubt affected their desire to be touring all the time.

I'd be cool with Melvins & BB doing more, but at the same time I feel like they've done enough for now. Buzz and Dale are not the type to sit still for any length of time, so it could well be that we've seen the end of that particular collaboration.

I imagine it's also more expensive touring with an extra person and all that gear, especially that double drumkit.

I thoroughly enjoyed the dual drummer format. They complemented and challenged each other, both being monsters. Plus they both looked lovely in their tutus.

I'm likely going to pass on this tour simply because I don't think I could take either of the other two bands and Slim's would probably be a drag for a Melvin's gig. But who knows...

I'd never miss them playing in Pensacola, least of all bc I know everyone in that venue so I generally get to do what I want there which is lovely. Plus the soundsystem is AMAZING in that place.

Bummed it's not the BB lineup. I truly feel it's pound for pound the best sounding Melvins lineup ever. But any Melvins beats no Melvins.

I wish it was the BB lineup as well but they are ever-evolving and never disappoint. I'm also interested in seeing Melt Banana. I enjoyed watching them open for Tool back in 2007. Holy shit, that was almost 10 years ago! :shock:

That first track is certainly promising. I wouldn't drop $180 on it though.

I'm loving this song!!! who's Mike? sorry for asking, I'm just not familiar with him. I thought it was going to be Mike Patton at first, which would've been cool as fuck.

Some background info from themelvins.net:
Mike Kunka has been involved in a number of great bands that you should take the time to check out while you await the release of this album. Most notably he was part of the two-piece godheadSilo. In addition to that he was also in Enemymine, Smoke & Smoke which was in fact godheadSilo along with Spencer from the Murder City Devils doing vocals, and last but definitely not least Dead Low Tide which featured both Spencer on vocals and Coady Willis on drums. If you've been following the Melvins for a while now you might even remember that a few of these bands also toured with the Melvins over the years.

These are the facts we can be sure of: in 1998, around the time his band godheadSilo went on hiatus, bassist/vocalist Mike Kunka busied himself by tagging along on a tour with his friends the Melvins. Somewhere along the way, Mike and the Melvins – King Buzzo (guitar/bass/vocals), Dale Crover (drums/vocals), and Kevin Rutmanis (bass/vocals), at the time – decided to make a record together, and gave the project the imaginative moniker Mike and the Melvins. Sub Pop, ever on the hunt for music’s Next Big Thing, enthusiastically agreed to fund and release the super-group’s debut, and recording commenced sometime in 1999.

Most of Three Men and a Baby was recorded in 1999 at Louder Studios by Tim Green (The Fucking Champs), and it was finished in 2015 at Sound of Sirens by Toshi Kasai.

Still waiting on that Colossus Of Destiny dvd. Doesn't seem to be in any sort of hurry to get itself released.

Pretty silly of them to announce it SO far in advance (with a trailer and all). And then.......zip.


Reminds me of another band.
