The Melvins and a roaring crowd stormed through The Showbox Tuesday night. The Melvins performed two 50 minute sets back to back with a short intermission to give the band and their wild fans a well-deserved rest. Powerhouse drummers Dale Crover and Coady Willis were stationed in the front center next to each other. Dressed like Vikings, Crover and Willis synchronized their drum beats perfectly.
Sweat, spit and hair from the band and their fans went in every direction while the band played on. King Buzzo, the original founding member of The Melvins, had his own area of the stage to himself to stroll and shred. Iconic hair similar to Sideshow Bob of The Simpsons, King Buzzo calmly rocked out with super fans with similar hair styles in the front row trying to touch his mirror-like guitar. The hometown kings kept the fans satisfied for yet another night.
