Melvins & Big Business - 2008 Tour Dates, ATP & album art
by Black Bubblegum
Melvins: Dudes know how to take a picture!
Melvins have announced the first leg of their US tour to support Nude With Boots and along for the ride are, you guessed it, Big Business! Tour dates are below including a date at Music Hall Of Williamsburg and Bowery Ballroom (Aug 13th and 14th respectively) (no tickets yet)
Melvins are also playing Jello Biafra‘s 50th, but SANS Big Business because Big Business will be working on their new record in LA instead.
Speaking of Jello’s birthday party, Akimbo are on board for that, and they recently gave us a brand new MP3 from their Neurot Recordings debut Jersey Shores. (in case you missed it)
The other big news is that Melvins are curating this year’s ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas with Mike Patton (in case you missed that too). It’s the party that Portishead curated last year, Thurston Moore the year before that, and The Mars Volta before that.
Melvins’ Nude with Boots drops July 8th on Ipecac (the label co-owned by ATP co-curator Mike Patton). The album cover, the tracklist, a video, and all tour dates below….
