Idem, en Houdini. Keer gezien in het voorprogramma van een Mike Patton project, ik denk in 2002, in de Melkweg. Was jij daar toen ook niet, Bosbeetele? Ze droegen toen allemaal een jurk, in die heerlijke bak met herrie.

Leuke groep was dat ook; Kaada. Ik heb toen dat album gekocht van ze, en later ook nog eens Kaada + Patton. Daarna er eigenlijk niets meer van gehoord. Ik weet nog goed dat ze toen op het einde iets van glitterstof hadden en in het publiek stonden te strooien.

quote:

The Melvins, who have essentially never stopped touring or recording with 20 studio albums to their name, were friends and mentors to Nirvana's Cobain and Krist Novoselic, who hailed from the same rural part of Washington state. As Novoselic once said of the sway Melvins frontman Buzz Osborne held over him: "Buzz was the preacher, and his gospel was punk rock." The Melvins sonic influence on Nirvana's first album is unmistakable.

But to hear Osborne tell it, his band's importance has too often been diminished.

"All (Nirvana) biographers want to do is pretend that we don't matter," the never-shy singer/guitarist said to me at the onset of the first interview I conducted with him for my book. "They talk us down like none of this makes any difference, but what they have to understand, and what needs to be clearly stated, is that without us, there is no Nirvana. Without us, there is no Nirvana."

So by all means go ahead and purchase the "Nevermind" reissue or catch a showing of Cameron Crowe's new "Pearl Jam Twenty" documentary, and relive the glories of grunge's most commercial era.

But if you want a deeper understanding of where grunge came from, investigate some music by the Melvins (those Nirvana biographers be damned!) or Mudhoney or any number of other grunge bands not fronted by someone with the surname Cobain, Vedder or Cornell.

Yes, 1991 was a very good year for grunge, but why not try something of a different vintage?

melvins lite 7-12-11 pitfalls in serving warrants

Hey Folks, some douche bag out there has made over 5000 counterfeit RED vinyl "Houdini" records (there was no red edition), and is passing them off as real for big bucks. These are fakes. Aside from sounding like complete crap they are made with the sole intention of ripping off you guys, as well as the band. Anyone that can give us the name of the scum bag making them, we will take care of mightily. Don't go off on stores, eBayers, online shops as they were likely ripped off as well. Please tell anyone trying to sell it, that it's a fake/counterfeit, as they might not know. We only want the scumbag that's pressing 'em!
