THE MELVINS + A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS + YEN YEN
Yesterday, the unfortunate news came to our ears: The Melvins will cancel their full European tour due to a back related injury of their drummer, including the show that was planned on Thursday June 20th at Trix. All purchased tickets will be refunded automatically. But, we are also bringers of good news...
Because this was suppose to be the last big concert and the unofficial closing party of this season (the only concert that is left, is clubshow of La Dispute on June 25), we will move the concert of A Place To Bury Strangers and the concert of British post punks Crows to our Club. To top it off, we will make this double concert free of admission for anyone. A small end of season gift to only the greatest crowd there is. All info about this night, including the afterparty, can be found here. See you then!
This is the statement of The Melvins which we received: “Dear Friends, I regret to inform you that I have to cancel our upcoming European tour. I’ve been dealing with a back related injury and I’m unable to perform at this time. I feel awful that I have to let you all down like this. I want to assure you that I’m working very hard to return 100% better! We will come back as soon as we can. Thank you for understanding, Dale Crover.”

(the) Melvins
The Melvins - de band rond Buzz Osborne aka King Buzzo, incl. hoog Sideshow Bob-gehalte - weet al sinds 1983 onverstoorbaar een baan te jagen door de verwilderde bossen van distortion, dreigende vocalen, traagbeukende drums en bizarre songstructuren.
Aanvankelijk met bassist Matt Lukin en drummer Mike Dillard, start de groep als punk- en hardcore band. Dillard wordt al snel vervangen door Dale Crover en de groep repeteert in diens ouderlijk huis in Aberdeen, Washington. Dat is overigens hetzelfde dorpje als waar niet veel later Nirvana zou opgericht worden, een band die sterk beïnvloed was door The Melvins.
De band split in 1988. Buzz en Dale verhuizen naar San Francisco, Lukin naar Seattle om Mudhoney op te richten. En zo steken The Melvins een hele beweging in gang. Ze inspireren doom- en sludgeband als Eyehategod en Sunn O))), maar ook de zwaardere bands als Neurosis, Tool, Helmet, Isis en Mastodon.
Doorheen de jaren verandert de samenstelling van The Melvins nog tig keer. Bassisten komen en gaan. Drums worden verdubbeld en terug gehalveerd. Sinds 2015 is The Melvins weer een viertal, waarbij Jeff Pinkus (The Butthole Surfers) en Steve McDonald (Redd Kross, Off!) beide bas spelen. Hoe dat klinkt, kon je inmiddels al ontdekken op 'Pinkus Abortion Technician' uit 2018, hun 26e wapenfeit waarmee ze vorig jaar al eens ons land plat speelden. Later dat jaar kwamen ze trouwens ook met EP 'Sabbath', waarbij ze samen met Al Cisneros van Sleep Black Sabbath classics wisten te verwerken.
Conclusie: "the Melvins can change your life, if you let them."
A Place To Bury Strangers
A Place To Bury Strangers is often dubbed "the loudest band in New York City." This feedback-drenched power trio draws inspiration from shoegaze, garage, and indie rock, reviving the primal drones of the '80s. The band shot to international fame in 2007 when their self-titled debut album received critical acclaim from Pitchfork. Soon after, they joined Nine Inch Nails on tour, gained traction in Europe, and launched a career in full swing. With their new label, Dedstrange, and a refreshed lineup, they continue to push musical boundaries, as evidenced by the highly praised 'Hologram' EP and their 2022 album, 'See Through You'.
