Bastardometer posted on Toolarmy a link to an Audio Interview with Justin. I couldn’t get the link to work, but it’s probably because I don’t have the right plug in. Try your luck at this link. Ipecac have released some more extensive Melvins US Tour dates as well. Looks like they’re playing with Big Business again, so expect some dual drumming action. Check out the newly refurbished Ipecac website for… Read More »Justin Interview, Melvins Tour
For all you Melvins fans, here’s a great interview with Buzz from lambgoat.com. In case you only want to read the Tool related bit, here you go: What’s your view on Tool? I know you’re pretty close with some of those guys, but I’m just confused. I’m not talking about their music, but really, their morphing image. How did they go from this band who was writing mock-satanic/industrial songs with… Read More »Melvins Interview
Here’s an article I read this morning from SignOnSanDiego talking about the events of the recent San Diego concert, during which 15 people were injured. If found the article to be quite interesting, and talks in depth about the responses by the local authorities, and praise for Maynard and the band in how they dealt with the situation. Sadly it seems that some of these injuries are life threatening, so… Read More »Followup to San Diego
According to Blair on Toolband/Army, good friends of Tool the Melvins are releasing Houdini Live 2005: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust. Details can be found on the Ipecac site, and it appears that it should be out now. Houdini’s one of the Melvins’ best albums, so check it out!
According the Ipecac Website, it looks like these guys will be doing one US show only on the 15th of May at Irving Plaza in New York. Melvins and/or Fantômas make sure you’re there. For Patton fans, there’s also a General Patton vs. the X-ecutioners show the night before at the same venue!
Not really Tool news this time, but I know there’s plenty of Tool fans who like The Melvins and Fantômas. Not satisfied with having Tool playing a whole shitload of shows, those Europeans will also be able to witness the FantômasMelvins Big Band. In case you don’t know, it’s Fantômas and The Melvins rolled into one big happy family. I’m sure it’ll be a great show, so if you’re living… Read More »FantômasMelvins Big Band Tour
mobius maximus on Toolarmy pointed this article out to us today: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001844587 Basically, it covers the Melvins latest happenings, some details on Mike Pattons Peeping Tom project, and my favorite bit, the fact that Jello Biafra and the Melvins will be touring Australia. Holy shit yes!
Finally, some sort of news! Blair has said today that a DVD with the Schism and Parabol/Parabola videos will be available sometime before the end of the year, and that December 20 seemed to be a good date for this. He did confirm that this isn’t the Live DVD, which will be released at a later date. Blair has promised that as well as the videos, the Schism DVD will… Read More »Schism DVD, Live DVD and the Jelvins!
Some non-Tool news for a change. There’s a relatively interesting, if a little short interview with Jello Biafra here, where he talks about his involvement with the Melvins. It boes on to mention that Adam Jones plays on half of the tracks on the new CD Sieg Howdy! Ipecac.com are reporting that the Melvins are releasing a ‘new’ version of Houdini in the near future. Also, Peeping Tom for mid-2006.… Read More »Jelvins, Melvins, Tomahawk and TMOC
