Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Less Filling, Tastes Great

This just in: The Melvins are doing something crazy. Trimmed down and dubbed the Melvins Lite, the influential sludge-punk band is touring the entirety of the U.S. (all 50 states, plus Washington, D.C.) in 51 days. Gimmicky? Sure. Still thoroughly ass-kicking? Hell, yeah. The lean, mean version of the Melvins drops by the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Friday, September 28. Tweak Bird open.
