Tell me!

Eggnog
Bullhead
Stoner Witch

N/C. Although, sometimes I just want them to stop making noise al-fucking-ready.

they can be sooo crap...and they olso can be not crap!!
well it must be difficult to be the both..not crap for that!

Actually, it's supposed to be earilier than October. Nothing official yet however. All I know is that there will be a shit load of dates. Jared (of Big Business) wrote:

"The Melvins/Big Business US tour is coming to a town near you (if you're from America) at last. From early September to early December we will be on the road and coming right at you. So load up the vanagon and follow us from town to town. We don't mind! Just have the common courtesy to never, ever make eye contact with any of us. Tour dates posted soon."

It'll probably be another week or two before an official announcement is made.

Melvins changed my life. "Ozma" changed my life. NOT CRAP.

Take my advice, Big Business is worth checking out.

Oh, and just to up my already very low standing amongst the EA fraternity, the first band I was in played with them on a New Zealand tour years back... and they are very nice guys... strangely sober very nice guys.

I shook Buzz's hand once in passing ("Hey, great show!") after they played here at Mississippi Nights. A few seconds later he had made a U-turn and came back to let me know that he had been really sick lately, and that I probably would want to go wash my hands.

He was very sincere - as a reflex he had shaken my hand, but upon reflection he realized he didn't want me to catch his crappy cold he was fighting on tour - that was a nice touch, I thought.

Big Business rip it the fuck up live. I've seen them a couple times lately, but haven't seen The Melvins for many years. I'm already getting red-eyed and frenzied thinking about this bill.

soooo NOT CRAP !
wish I could see them live once ...

I saw Big Business open for Pelican last year and man did they rock. That drummer is insanely good.

Used to be with Murder City Devils. He's top notch.
