The Last Band Standing: Melvins Approach 40 Years on Five Legged Tour

In March of 2023, the Melvins will celebrate the 40th anniversary of playing its first live show. But why wait until then to observe the group’s entire legacy (so far)?

The “Five Legged Tour” is so named after the group’s massive 2021 collection, Five Legged Dog (Ipecac), featuring acoustic renditions of some of the most popular songs, cherry picked from throughout the Melvins catalog. Following suit, this latest round of shows functions as something of a greatest hits tour, but drummer Dale Crover hesitates to call it that.

“We try to cover as much as we can,” Crover says. “There will be stuff that we always play during our live shows. We’ll also play stuff from the second and third records, probably not from the first record, but as soon as I say that here, the setlist will change to include something from that album,” he laughs. “The meat of it will be there, along with a few things we haven’t played in years, and at least two songs from the new album.”

The new album in question is Bad Mood Rising (Amphetamine Reptile), a six-song full-length that finds the group returning to the melodic, demonic punk metal molasses that defined such early ‘90s classic albums as Bullhead (‘91), Lysol (‘92) and Houdini (‘93).

Since the group formed in rural Montesano, WA in 1983, singer and guitar player “King Buzzo” Buzz Osborne has remained consistently at the helm for an ever-growing body of work that evokes a sludgy and ecstatic head-nodding state of mind.

Crover joined the band in 1984. Current bass player Steven McDonald of Los Angeles punk and power pop band Redd Kross joined the Melvins in 2015, following a long line of bass players ranging from avant-garde jazz/rock figure Trevor Dunn to JD Pinkus of the Butthole Surfers.

On stage, McDonald swerves and swaggers, reaching for the heavens in a series of rock god maneuvers. Juxtaposed with Osbourne and Crover’s stoic presence, he adds an element of excitement to the Melvins slow roar, and he backs it all up with a monster sound that’s tailor-made to boost the group’s surly dirges.

“He goes all out every night, and he’s always the one who’s happiest to be there on the stage,” Crover laughs.

Live, the Melvins have a reputation for delivering colossal performances, bridging the sludgy early material with the more evolved songwriting of (A) Senile Animal (2006) and Nude With Boots (2008), both featuring Coady Willis and Jared Warren of Big Business.

With each new album, the Melvins summon an ambiance that falls somewhere between confrontation and meditation, draped in layers of fuzzed-out distortion, hypnotic rhythms, staccato percussion and menacing weirdness that is as tense as it is uncompromising.

One song they’re playing from Bad Mood Rising , titled “Mr. Dog is Totally Right,” is a massive and plodding opus that distills much of the group’s legacy into a nearly 13-minute metallic onslaught.

The group’s formative years coincided with the rise of Seattle’s grunge rock scene in the early ‘90s, culminating in the murk and overdriven guitar rock of early albums by Tad, Mudhoney and Nirvana. Crover played drums on some songs from Nirvana’s first album, Bleach , and the Melvins even famously worked with Kurt Cobain to produce Houdini . According to Osborne, though, Cobain was fired because he couldn’t do the job due to issues related to drug abuse.

Still, the group never embraced any stylistic affiliation with grunge. “I have never been a follower, and we have never wanted to be a part of what’s popular at the time, or any trends,” Osborne says. “We have always planted our flag somewhere else and people have come to it. I have always felt that the more peculiar you are as a musician, the better.”

For Osborne, this steadfast self-reliance has yielded something in the neighborhood of 40 Melvins and solo albums, more than 2,000 live shows, and a new book of black and white photography, titled Rats , out this year.

“We’ve been a band since 1983. We’ve never quit, we’ve never taken a break and stopped being a band, and I have seen people come and go from the highest heights to the lowest lows—death, resurrection, and more death,” Osborne says.

In the art world that I am in, there is a war of attrition; whomever is the last man standing is the winner. So far it’s me, with no end in sight.”

Melvins Announce 43-Date Fall U.S. Tour

With 27 dates already on the books for this summer, Melvins will head back out on the road in the United States this September on the 43-date "Five Legged Tour" with special guest We Are the Asteroid.

Aside from exhaustive touring, which is the norm for Melvins, the group has been especially busy lately, having released the Working With God studio album last year as well as Five Legged Dog , which featured three dozen classic tracks reworked as acoustic versions.

While the tour's name is adapted from that acoustic compilation record, the tour will not take on the same approach, meaning Melvins will perform plugged in and fully electrified on the run that begins on Sept. 5 in San Francisco, California and wraps up back on the West Coast in Los Angeles on Oct. 29.

See the full list of stops further down the page and look for tickets to go on sale at 10AM local time on June 3 at the band's website .

"Nationwide once again! Nothing like touring the USA in the fall," exclaimed singer/guitarist Buzz Osborne , "Everyone’s a winner!"

See the band's previously announced Electric Roach tour dates, stretching from June 15 through July 20, here .

The Melvins released two albums in 2021: Working With God , a newly recorded album featuring the band’s 1983 iteration (Osborne, Dale Crover and original drummer Mike Dillard), as well as the a 36-song acoustic collection, Five Legged Dog , which features a career-spanning collection of songs, from 1987’s Gluey Porch Treatments to 2017’s A Walk With Love & Death .

About The Melvins

The Melvins are one of modern music’s most influential bands. Having formed in 1983 Montesano, Washington, the group founded by singer/guitar player Buzz Osborne (with stalwart drummer Dale Crover joining the following year), has been credited with merging the worlds of punk rock and heavy music, forming a new subgenre all its own. Over the band’s nearly 40-year history, they’ve released over 30 original albums, numerous live full-lengths and far too many to count singles and rarities. Most recently they released the 36-track acoustic collection Five Legged Dog , featuring reinterpretations of some of their heaviest songs as well as covers from their favorite artists. In the course of their discography, they’ve partnered with Jello Biafra, Mudhoney, and Fantômas for individual releases and toured the world many times over. In fact, the band had the misfortune to be in both Christchurch and Tokyo for their 2011 earthquakes. In 2012, the Melvins completed the “51 States in 51 Days” (50 states +DC) tour, which was chronicled in the film “ Across The USA in 51 Days .” The current incarnation of the band is Osborne, Crover, and Steven McDonald (Redd Kross/OFF!). Previous line-ups include a pairing of Osborne and Crover with Big Business band members Jared Warren and Coady Willis, a four-piece featuring the current trio plus Butthole Surfers’ Jeff Pinkus, as well as Melvins Lite, which partners Osborne and Crover with Mr. Bungle’s Trevor Dunn. Sometimes, if you’re extra lucky, one version of the Melvins will open for the Melvins.

Jason Price founded the mighty Icon Vs. Icon more than a decade ago. Along the way, he’s assembled an amazing group of like-minded individuals to spread the word on some of the most unique people and projects on the pop culture landscape.

The current incarnation of the band is Osborne, Crover, and Steven McDonald (Redd Kross/OFF!).

Previous line-ups include a pairing of Osborne and Crover with Big Business band members Jared Warren and Coady Willis, a four-piece featuring the current trio plus Butthole Surfers' Jeff Pinkus, as well as Melvins Lite, which partners Osborne and Crover with Mr. Bungle's Trevor Dunn. Sometimes, if you're extra lucky, one version of the Melvins will open for the Melvins.

Melvins Announce Fall 2022 “Five Legged Tour”

We Are the Asteroid lend support

The Melvins have a heavy year of touring ahead. Just weeks after announcing the summer “Electric Roach Tour,” the sludge veterans have announced an additional 43 dates for Fall 2022, dubbed “The Five Legged Tour.”

Beginning September 5th in San Francisco, the US trek makes a point to give fans ample opportunities to see The Melvins. King Buzzo and company have sketched out several shows in multiple states, including a healthy eight stops across California and six stops in Florida. As Osbourne said in a statement, “Nationwide once again! Nothing like touring the USA in the fall. Everyone’s a winner!”

“The Five Legged Tour” wraps up October 29th at The Halloween Freakout Festival in Los Angeles. Austin psych rockers We Are the Asteroid lend support on all dates. Tickets to the tour become available Friday, June 3rd at 10:00 a.m. local time on Ticketmaster . See the full tour itinerary below.

After releasing both the newly recorded Working with God and the acoustic collection Five Legged Dog in 2021, the Melvins teamed up with Dumb Numbers back in April for the three-song collaborative EP Broken Pipe .

Before “The Five Legged Tour” begins, they’ll first support all this material on the “Electric Roach Tour,” which kicks off June 14th with support from Helms Alee and Harsh Mellow. Grab tickets to those dates here .

King Buzzo & Trevor Dunn announce 2024 European Tour!

NEWLY ANNOUNCED, ACOUSTIC “KING DUNN TOUR” IS THE LEGENDARY MELVINS’ FRONTMAN’S SECOND EVER SOLO TOUR AND COMES 10 YEARS AFTER HIS LAST ROUND OF LIVE PERFORMANCES

King Buzzo, the iconic founder and lead vocalist/guitar player for the Melvins, and Mr. Bungle bass player Trevor Dunn, join forces this Fall, teaming up for the European leg of the “King Dunn Tour!”

“I’ve been waiting a LONG time to do an acoustic tour with Trevor,” Buzz Osborne shares. “He’s a fantastic player, and has the ability to make his bass sound like an oil tanker crashing into a coral reef.”

Osborne and Dunn have collaborated several times over the years, including Dunn’s participation in King Buzzo’s 2020 album, Gift of Sacrifice , as well as both being members of Fantômas , and Dunn’s work as a part of Melvins Lite . On the “King Dunn Tour,” Dunn will will play a stand-up concert bass, while Osborne will sing and play acoustic guitar.

Tickets on sale March 1 via ipecac.com/tours

October 1 - Bristol, England 3 - Edinburgh, Scotland 4 - Newcastle, England 5 - Glasgow, Scotland 6 - Leeds, England 8 - Manchester, England 9 - Birmingham, England 10 - Norwich, England 11 - Brighton, England 13 - Amsterdam, Netherlands 14 - Cologne, Germany 15 - Antwerp, Belgium 16 - Berlin, Germany 17 - Leipzig, Germany 19 - Warsaw, Poland 20 - Krakow, Poland 21 - Vienna, Austria 22 - Zagreb, Croatia 24 - Rome, Italy 25 - Milan, Italy 26 - Zurich, Switzerland 27 - Geneva, Switzerland 28 - Paris, France 29 - Lille, France 31 - London, England

King Buzzo, a.k.a. Buzz Osborne, is the singer, guitar player and founder of the enormously influential band, the Melvins. His innovative approach to songwriting, and guitar playing, has influenced countless musicians, and turned leagues of music lovers into ardent fans. Renowned for his pioneering use of down-tuned strings, Buzzo masterfully blended his punk and metal influences, and in turn, he created a groundbreaking new sound in heavy music. Over Osborne’s extensive career, which originated in the small hamlet of Montesano, Wash. in 1983, he has released over 30 albums under the Melvins’ moniker, two solo albums [Gift of Sacrifice (2020) and This Machine Kills Artists (2014)], as well as a number of collaborative projects including Fantômas and Crystal Fairy.

Trevor Dunn might be most widely known for his work with Mr. Bungle, the eclectic and unpredictable Northern California band he co-founded in 1985, but his career outside of Mr. Bungle has been just as notable. Also a member of Fantômas, Trevor Dunn’s Trio-Convulsant, Tomahawk and Melvins Lite, Dunn has also written music for various ensembles, performed extensively with John Zorn, and recently formed Riverworm Records , a label home for “discarded, forgotten, and misunderstood music.”

TARANTULA HEART - New Album announced for release April 19th, 2024

The Melvins latest opus, Tarantula Heart (April 19, Ipecac Recordings), is quite possibly the band’s most unconventional, catchiest and imaginative work yet, continuing a legacy celebrated for its eccentric and extraordinary output.

A preview of the five-song, 39-minute collection arrives with the release of “ Working The Ditch ,” and the accompanying Jesse Nieminen-created video . Nieminen previously directed the band’s short film, “A Walk With Love and Death.”

“The way we approached Tarantula Heart was different than any other Melvins’ album,” explains Buzz Osborne. “I had Dale and Roy Mayorga come in and play along with Steven and I to some riffs, then I took those sessions and figured out what parts would work and wrote new music to fit. This isn’t a studio approach we’ve ever taken. Usually we have the songs written BEFORE we start recording!”

“The majority of Tarantula Heart has dual drum parts,” adds long-time Melvins drummer Dale Crover. “Roy is an amazing drummer. We would discuss what we would do pattern wise, then we’d just go for it. Improvising riffs and trading off on drum fills.”

In actuality nothing appeared out of thin air. Buzz spent hours and hours with the drum tracks by himself writing songs to what he was hearing drum wise. “When the rest of the band heard these songs I’d created from the sessions, they were blown away,” Buzz shares. “These were fully developed new songs that they’d never heard before that had seemingly appeared out of thin air. Presto!”

Recorded, mixed and co-produced by longtime Melvins’ collaborator Toshi Kasai, the album also features We Are The Asteroid guitar player Gary Chester. Gary and the Melvins’ history goes back to their days on Boner Records, with the guitar player formerly having been a part of the legendary band, Ed Hall.

Tarantula Heart pre-orders are available now , with the album available on a trio of vinyl variants (black, indie exclusive Silver Streak and Ipecac Recordings’ 25th Anniversary Puke Green), featuring a 12-page booklet, as well as on CD and digitally.

Next month sees the Melvins head overseas, playing in Japan for the first time since 2019 following a stint where they join current labelmates, Mr. Bungle, for a trek across Australia and New Zealand. Buzz and Bungle bass player Trevor Dunn team up later this year for the “King Dunn Tour,” a 45-date excursion that sees the pair play songs from the King Buzzo releases: This Machine Kills Artists and Gift of Sacrifice. The full list of dates can be found via Ipecac.com/tours .

Trevor Dunn might be most widely known for his work with Mr. Bungle, the eclectic and unpredictable Northern California band he co-founded in 1985, but his career outside of Mr. Bungle has been just as notable. Also a member of Fantômas, Trevor Dunn’s Trio-Convulsant, Tomahawk and Melvins Lite, Dunn has also written music for various ensembles, performed extensively with John Zorn, and recently formed Riverworm Records, a label home for “discarded, forgotten, and misunderstood music.”

Matt Cameron announces Gory Scorch Cretins collaboration with Melvins

Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/Soundgarden, etc) recorded a 5-song vinyl exclusive with Buzz, Dale, Steven and Toshi for Record Store Day – get it this Friday after Thanksgiving at your favorite local record store! More details at Revolver .

Matt says: "I have always been a massive Melvins fan. They are a huge influence on me as a musician and a big part of our early Seattle music scene. I reconnected with the Melvins in 2019 when they performed at the Chris Cornell tribute concert in LA. I emailed Buzz after and asked if he, Dale, Steven and Toshi could help record some songs I had written and they were totally up for it. I also collaborated with Nate Yaccino and Meagan Grandall on this project. I decided to pay tribute to the Melvins by reimagining the artwork/title for their seminal release Gluey Porch Treatments. Enjoy! "

Melvins announce Twins of Evil Tour coheadlining the U.S. with BORIS

Today the Melvins announced the “Twins of Evil Tour,” a seven-week trek that sees them co-headlining with Japanese trio Boris , both performing classic albums in their entirety: Bullhead (Melvins) and Heavy Rocks (Boris).

“40 years as the Melvins!!! What better way to celebrate that unlikely milestone than by setting off on the ‘Twins of Evil Tour’ with our friends, Boris," says King Buzzo. "This will be a stone groove!” Boris’ Takeshi adds: “Could anyone have predicted such an astonishing event, that Boris and the Melvins would tour the entire USA together? Since the mid-1980s, the Melvins have had an enormous influence on artists of all genres not only limited to heavy music, and have brought forth a surge of faithful followers over the years. Needless to say, Boris is just one of these many bands influenced by the mighty Melvins, and we took our name from a song title off of the 1991 album, Bullhead.”

Tickets are on-sale this Friday, June 9, at 10 am local time. AmRep artists mr.phylzzz open on all dates.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

Every day each car in Moscow metro passes more than 600 km, which is the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
Moscow subway system is the 5th in the intensity of use (after the subways of Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai).

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow. Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

Kievskaya Metro Station

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

He didn't take shortcuts and really covered everything that was on the agenda in great detail.
