About this deal

years as the Melvins!!! What better way to celebrate that unlikely milestone than by setting off on the ‘Twins of Evil Tour’ with our friends, Boris," says King Buzzo. "This will be a stone groove!” Vinyl reissue of the band's 2013 release featuring their 1983 lineup. First time ever available on vinyl. A hybrid of covers and inspired jams, joined by their good friend Void Manes and produced by Toshi Kasai, this project will likely for the first time challenge longtime Melvins fans, because the band isn’t known for doing that…ever. Osborne and Crover see no need to postpone operations when Big Business have other commitments, however. In recent times they’ve hired members of Butthole Surfers (for 2014’s Hold it In) or performed as Melvins 1983, a lineup that includes their first-ever drummer Mike Dillard with the versatile Crover shifting to bass, and Melvins Lite, with Mr Bungle’s Trevor Dunn on double bass. The latter trio’s herculean task of performing in all 50 American states (plus Washington DC) in a record-breaking 51 days is captured in their hallucinatory new DVD. Boris’ Takeshi adds: “Could anyone have predicted such an astonishing event, that Boris and the Melvins would tour the entire USA together? Since the mid-1980s, the Melvins have had an enormous influence on artists of all genres not only limited to heavy music, and have brought forth a surge of faithful followers over the years. Needless to say, Boris is just one of these many bands influenced by the mighty Melvins, and we took our name from a song title off of the 1991 album, Bullhead.”

Melvins clearly didn’t enter the music business to make friends and they’ve never been afraid of slaughtering sacred cows, Osborne’s relationship with Kurt Cobain being a case in point. Cobain idolised Melvins, roadied for them in his youth, and was so heavily influenced by them that Nirvana’s Milk It (1993) was startlingly similar to Melvins’ lesser-known It’s Shoved, released two years earlier. The Cobain association helped bring Melvins to the attention of a larger audience. And Cobain has a producer’s credit on Melvins’ 1993 LP Houdini, even though he was fired from the project for being strung out on drugs. Fom AmRep: What’s the obvious and predictable move for an insanely influential band like the Melvin’s to do on their 40th anniversary? An homage LP to another insanely influential band, Throbbing Gristle, of course!AmRep and the Melvins have announced Throbbing Jazz Gristle Funk Hits! An homage to Throbbing Gristle featuring Void Manes is available 6/25 via SHOXOP.
