The Melvins 30th Anniversary Tour with special guest Honky at Double Door Chicago Monday July 22!
The Melvins have toured with KISS, White Zombie, NIN, L7, Primus, Tool, and Rush, among others and were also on the Ozzfest tour in 98. They toured with a second guitarist at one point David Scott Stone (a great noisician). Former bassist Kevin Rutmanis (1998 – early 2005) used to be in the band Cows, he was also in another Mike Patton project along with Duane Denison of the Jesus Lizard called Tomahawk. If you ever get the chance to see them live be sure to give them gifts, they prefer Cracker Barrel gift certificates.
Honky
When you think of Texas, what comes to mind? Big skies? Big trucks? Hot women with big… uh, well… big hair? Everything, as they say, is bigger in Texas… And that what ain’t bigger is more bizarre. After all, in a state that refers to itself as a republic… things can get pretty skewed.
Enter Honky. Honky proudly carries the torch held by the likes of Scratch Acid, Pantera, ZZ Top and the red-headed stranger himself, Mr. Willie Nelson.
This Austin Superboogie trio was founded in 1996 by long time Butthole Surfer bassist JD Pinkus, Bobby Ed Landgraf (Gahdzilla Motor Company, Blowfly) on guitar , and rounded out by Michael ‘Night Train’ Brueggen (Blackula, Syrup, Supagroup) on the drums.
Honky dishes out an appetite pleasin’… Superboogie servin’ that’ll keep ya’ comin’ back for more.
See The Melvins and Honky live Monday July 22 at Double Door Chicago. Advance Tickets only $25 for this epic one-night stand.
