More on the Melvins evening


Just found this small article commenting on the concert I witnessed at the Commodore. It talks about the 2-band-live set, the drumkits and their upcoming cd. Seems that what I saw was the first leg of the tour.

Seattle alt-metal veterans The Melvins (tickets | music) have plotted the first leg of a fall tour behind their second release of 2006, "The Senile Album," due in stores Oct. 10.
The album will mark The Melvins' first recorded effort with their recently revamped lineup, which pairs longtime Melvins stalwarts Buzz Osborne (guitar, vocals) and Dale Crover (drums) with Jared Warren (bass, vocals) and Coady Willis (drums) of fellow Seattle indie rockers Big Business, effectively combining the two bands into a single entity.

"Now we're going to be four piece," Crover said in a recent interview with Bilboard.com. "Two drums--just like the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead! We've known [the Big Business] guys for a long time. It's not like they're going to quit Big Business or anything like that. When we tour, we're hoping that they'll open."

The Melvins have since confirmed that Big Business will, in fact, open on the band's upcoming tour, which kicks off Sept. 6 in Sacramento, CA. The group will tackle 18 cities on the tour's first leg, which is so far confined entirely to September.

"The Senile Album" was recorded earlier this year in Los Angeles. In May, The Melvins released "Houdini Live 2005: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust," a track-by-track live rendition from 2005 of the band's acclaimed 1993 album, "Houdini."

Angry Young Man

Just found a new place to live... Unfortunately, I had to move out from the Beresford because of the stupid Gallagher who put me into this unconfortable situation of finding a new job and a new way to get me money... I'm a little sad about it because Yaletown is very neat and I was very used to the lifestyle there, but it's too pricey and I didn't want to take too much risks... It will be only for 1 year, and maybe I can save some money that can help me later even for new projects -rehearsal room!! Anyhoo, that's the way right now how my life is, a little bit of stress and sorrow, but I feel everything is going to align on its path very soon... Overall I'm still feeling a little blurred, a little forced to be misplaced, strange feeling... Angry about having to deal with this situation thanks to a third party that doesn't even imagine what he caused, but... It's alright... Just a little bitter feeling, nothing to worry too much about... You see the world th...

The seeker

I've spent all afternoon behind Sofia, browsing and looking for so many things right now... I feel kinda lost, kinda lonely... and that feeling gets enhanced by my physicall loneliness in which I'm immersed right now, because Chicken is in Mexico -has been there for 3 weeks! So, right now I don't know what else to do... Maybe that's one of the main reasons I decided to start blogging... Also, I've never thought I'd say this, but it's a lonely world and I miss my friends... I miss someone to talk to about regular things, normal and common topics... Everything here is still 'from outside', nothing has come and touched me yet... But, it's my first year, and besides, I'm getting what I was looking for... I'm still looking for my place, here in this country and in this world... I've spent all these days thinking, trying to find me a stable position... I know, it may sound too abstract how I'm telling things, but in the end it's an...

Chicken Shack

Finally, I saw today a glimpse of true happiness in the eyes of Chicken. Happiness mixed with lots of nerviousness and excitement and most of all, emotion. A rather sweet emotion. Seems like heaven above has decided to give her the chance of a lifetime. And, as I told her , this is her chance of a lifetime. I feel very excited too about it. A little nervious also, I must say, but honestly happy. For her, for us and for me. If she finally gets what she's asked for, she'll ride in the same rocket as me, at last. And if she is my co-pilot, finally we will get to those starts I've been dreaming of for so many years. If all these happens, I will finally be in total harmony with my life -that is, when I get my own job, of course. It's not that I wasn't already, but if one piece of the puzzle is missing, that hole is the first thing that jumps and ruins all the image. When all the pieces are in place, the picture is finally complete. Funny how the happiness of someone you...
