The Melvins + Big Business @ Emo's, Austin, TX
Friday, November 17th, 2006
Anyone ever hear that a lot of serial killers come from the northwest? I think i heard that somewhere.
Anybody know of or remember the heavy driving more-metal-than-sludge topped of with shrieking razor-sharp-vocal tearings of KARP? I recall first hearing it stoned out of mind and realizing that everything else in the world was bullshit. EVERYTHING!
Alas, KARP is gone with the passing of one of their former members. But Big Business carries the energy forward.
Anybody remember the grunge-ploitation of the early nineties? No? Didn't think so. How about when King Buzzo from the Melvins dragged the MTV cameras around to look for a new house, since being a fore-runner of that flannel-clad sound, he figured his name alone could get him a mortgage (or the melvins interviewed by the french).
I do not remember too much from the show personally except that it was fucking insane. The force of thick and heavy head-smashing waves of guitar grinding were only amplified by the insane peaks of dual drummers... one of the melvins... the other formerly of the murder city devils... now of big business. just wanted to give a shout in case any yall find your way to some of their stuff... unfortunately it looks like i missed posting before the SF gig.
klogging,
