Buzz Osborne, Melvins, at the Boardwalk, Orangevale |
Last night,
Melvins took the stage at the Boardwalk. The room, thronged with fans, from young teens to oldies like me; the venue nearly-almost-just-about full, loads of people waiting to see this threesome. Huge turnout for a Sunday-evening show, and nice that the Melvins were on stage at the kind hour of nine p.m. after a great set by openers
Dusted Angel.

Melvins, Orangevale |
Connected and part of the birth of grunge, this band has been given all kinds of labels from "sludge metal" to doom to alternate, but their unique brand of almost-punk and a-lot-of-fun has earned them a major place in the hearts of this country's concert-goers.

Set list at the Boardwalk |
The band opened the set with long, buzzing intro Eye Flys, with a long and full set to follow.
There's a
huge number of dates on the current tour, throughout the USA and then several gigs in the UK and in France. They are making a return to Northern California with a two-night stopover in San Francisco on May 5th and 6th. Find out more on
