One of the icons of Alternative Rock music who influenced the creation of two of the genres - Grunge and Sludge Metal- The Melvins are touring North America. On the night of May 5th, the stop was in Philadelphia at Union Transfer. Pople flooded into the venue for a sold-out show to see the band live on stage. The 4 part band with 2 Drummers created a unique sound, and adding to that was their presence on stage with their unique attire. Buzz Osborne on the guitars and vocals is an iconic personality himself, Steven Shane McDonald on the Bass is just a treat to see him perform, and Dale Crover and Coady Willis on the drums took the energy of the room to a different level. With every song, they just showed why they have been relevant for almost 40 years and why they have influenced the sounds of so many great bands for all these years. The setlist consisted of all of their famous songs out of the 100s of songs that they have created - “Working the Ditch”, “The Bloated Pope”, “Revolve”, and “Honey Bucket”. Overall, it was an honor for us and the audience to witness them live, and a big shout-out to the organizers and management for the successful execution of the show.
