0Melvins Announce 30th Anniversary Tour
The Melvins just announced they will be celebrating their 30th anniversary with a US tour that kicks off July 12 in Phoenix. Their new album, Everybody Loves Sausage, is available April 30th and you can stream that shit now.
Singer Buss Osborne commented:
“Has it really only been 30 years? Dang! Thanks to everyone who’s been there for us! It’s been an exciting trip and I probably should have listened and learned more. I apologize for anything I’ve ever done wrong and for anything I’m going to do wrong… Ha!”
