Big Business/Melvins news.

[monkey star]

I know it's late, but it's high time we get everyone on the same page for the upcoming year in Big Business.

Right now I am sitting in a recording studio in Hollywood as Jared is doubling his bass parts on a new Melvins record. Check out the photos in our photos. It has a name, and we'll be spilling the beans on that one shortly. Everything seems to be going as planned, so expect some freaky deep cuts on this one. Toshi Kasai is at the control thing, doing stuff you and I probably will never understand. Dale is starting a fire outside, signaling the first bbq of the year is about to be underway. Once this is wrapped up, The Biz will be finishing up our latest batch of songs and hopefully recording this spring. Our touring schedule for the year is still being figured out, but we know this: the Melvins and Big Business are touring Europe in the fall. We'll post more info as it comes in. We have high hopes that some special plans we've been planning for years will come to fruition in 2008. Come fly with us.

We love you so much right now.

superb

I reckon both records will be killer, especially since they have both been touring non stop together, and Buzzo cant write a bad riff.

May I take this chance to suggest that (A) Senile Animal is one of the best records the Melvins have done?

You are correct, as its also one of my Favourite records EVER! It's the perfect mix of poppyness and heavyness.

True, but the Flipper/Big Business/Melvins gig is one of the best gigs I've ever seen. The idea that the mentality of that tour has carried on into recording makes me more moist than the pomd in Victoria Park.

Gill, have you bought Making Love Demo's yet, you get a free comic book in it that has the american tour diary from that tour, where David Yow does a few songs. Flipper where still dissapointing, but the Blowin' Chunks live record is amazing.

I stupidly excited for this record, if they tour, anyone up for a road trip.

[pANDAS Radio]

Not yet. I'm hoping they come back to Glasgow but it would be worth travelling to see them.

[monkey star]

Well if they tour, i'm guessing they wont do it until next year. Hopefully at the garage again, and not a clear channel booking.

Who or what do I have to sacrifice to guarantee a Glasgow show?

There will definatly be a Glasgow show considering PCL regularly books an ex melvin side project pretty much every month.
