Some Deets on the Melvins Residency
Friday, December 10, 2010 Even with all the Spaceland/Satellite confusion, the MELVINS shows are still on for every Friday in January at the venue located at 1717 Silverlake Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90027. This info came straight from the band's management and is a bit cryptic. But the way we read it, each night the band will play at least one album straight through after a separate set of songs pulled from other sources. Could be covers, could be MELVINS originals. It looks like the first night will satisfy you noise freaks. "Melvins 1983" probably refers to the first recordings when the band was basically straight-up hardcore. And we're particularly intrigued by the "Melvins Lite" set on night three. Don't know if that refers to a set with just Buzzo/Dale, an acoustic set, or a collection of soft rock covers. Also, we've received no word about any past members making an appearance. Speculate away.

'Melvins Lite' is just Buzz and Dale and Melvins 1983 is Buzz, Dale on Bass (as "Matt Lukin") and the original drummer on those "Mangled" demos, first LA show for the 1983 band and I think Lite did a benefit here once. All this info can be found at http://www.themelvins.net/ site, especially in the bbs/message board section
