This entry into the music/ arts honour roll society of this journal/ blog, is another that is way past due, I been intending on getting in here for a few years ... the Melvins (wikipedia) out of Montesano,WA. This new lineup includes Jeff Pinkus from the Butthole Surfers out of San Antonio, playing an aluminum Flying V Bass in this set below, along with Steve McDonald on bass, Steve was also co- founder of Redd Kross down in LA. Steve and Jeff are excellent, so the duet bass work from 2 of their caliber in this six song set below is a work of art in itself! You also have Dale Crover, a well known outstanding drummer, who been with Buzz since the early dayz, they put out a ton of music over the years ... and the distinct vocal work of Buzz Osborne, and deep unique guitar style he has, and as far as genius and creativity in the music and themes, he's just as unique too ... much credit to Buzz Osborne. The crew took off back in 1983, Buzz remained and held this project together, as membership changed here and there over the years ... and to me, the Melvins are a main ingredient in creating what became known as the Seattle sound of grunge and sludge style metal, very influential in that. Last year the band was celebrating their new album called "Pinkus Abortion Technician" (bandcamp), which Jeff co- wrote, and was inspired by the Butthole Surfers 1987 album called "Locust Abortion Technician", and George Stroumboulopoulos asked them to play at his home in Toronto for a private more intimate gig, and the sound was excellent! As for the set list on this it's 1:56 Kicking Machine, 4:38 Stop Moving To Florida, 9:11 Don't Forget to Breathe, 16:13 Onions Make The Milk Taste Bad, 19:38 The Talking Horse, and 25:14 Evil New War God. I also included a video interview from last year with Buzz and Dale talking about roots, records, influences. Thanx to House Of Strombo/ George and the Melvins for this powerful and versatile 30 minute set, and all the Melvins contributed to music over the years ... Enjoy!
