    MELVINS
    The Melvins formed in Aberdeen/Montesano, WA in 1984 the founding members were Buzz, Mike Dillard (drums), and Mudhoney bassist Matt Lukin. Buzz, Mike, and Matt all went to high school in Montesano. When Mike couldn't cut it, as rumor has it because the songs were getting too mathematically complex, Dale was recruited out of the Iron Maiden cover band he played in at the age of 15. Matt was replaced by Lorax (Shirley Temple's daughter) when they left Aberdeen for San Francisco. The name Melvins came from a grocery clerk at the Thriftway in Montesano where King Buzzo served as clerk and vandal. Dale filled in for Nirvana when they were between drummers and he appears on Incesticide and Bleach as a result of those sessions. Buzz has a side project called Fantomas with Mike Patton (Faith No More/Mr. Bungle) who is also owner of Ipecac Recordings the label the melvins are currently releasing material through.

    Dang! It's been 20 years since these Melvins started and they still have yet to find the common decency to die or break up. The core-band of King Buzzo and Dale Crover remains intact and they've still got a bass player.

    Don't try to twist around or screw this up, it's a lot easier to just surrender and let the good times roll. After all, the Japanese and the Germans surrendered and look at them now. One things for sure don't listen to anyone about anything.

    A lot of things haven't changed.
    The masses and the media still don't know ****.
    When some son of a bitch sells you something you still expect the goddamn thing to work.
    The Melvins and Ipecac still know what they are doing despite wishy washy idiots who insist on trying to do the driving.
