[skullservant]

Posted over from another forum, I AM EXCITE:

Official press release:

The Melvins will attempt to become the Guinness World Record holders for the first band to tour the full United States and D.C. in 51 days with a tour kicking off Sept. 5 in Anchorage, Alaska and wrapping up Oct. 25 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

"We figured it was time for us to do something REALLY crazy," said Osborne. "51 shows in 50 states plus 1 on D.C. and all in 51 days? Jeez! I wonder if we can do it?"

The tour, which will feature the Melvins Lite line-up of Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and Trevor Dunn, also marks the first time in the band's near 30-year history that they will perform in Alaska, New Hampshire, Delaware and Hawaii.

Dude, the Melvins at the Asylum?

Holy fuck, that club is TINY.

That sounds like it will make for a good show! I'm excited that they are coming to Ottobar in Baltimore and not Sonar, Ottobar is waaaay more personable.

[D.o.S.]

Yeah, it holds, like, 150 people? Maybe?

Also, I get to keep my streak of Melvins Lite alive. Still haven't seen them with the Big Biz Bros.

[skullservant]

This'll be my first time seeing them if you can believe it. I always seem to miss them every other time they roll around

[Chankgeez]

That's hilarious. Although I wouldn't wanna be at one of the shows towards the end.

Ha ha Delaware & NH. Melvin's virgins.

Maybe Tom Dalton will go. I think where they're playing in PA is in his neck of the woods.

GO TOM GO

[foomanfat]

I have to make it to the Greenville date.

[D.o.S.]

Also, at the risk of stating the obvious, they probably won't be playing any of the Senile Animals & forward stuff, so this'd be a great time to catch them for that stuff.

Lysol. In its entirety. I wants it.

THIS IS AWESOME
Definitely gonna try for either DC or Charlottesville.

EDIT:

NEvermind it's in a bar, fuck these assholes.

[D.o.S.]

Just age faster.

[FancyMike]

Holy shit this is awesome. I missed it last time they were in town.

And the Seattle show is on pretty much the perfect night that weekend is going to kill me. Melvins on the 6th, Swans on the 7th, Fucked Up/Lightning Bolt on the 8th.

Dude, the Melvins at the Asylum?

Holy fuck, that club is TINY.

Yeah, and they're playing The Met in Pawtucket, which is not huge.

But it is less than a 5 minute drive from my house!

Yay for close-by shows! Whoooo!
