The Melvins
Sunday Dec 30, 2007 (9pm)
Echoplex

$18 / $16 advance
Certainly the heaviest offering this evening, longtime sludge champions the Melvins face off with hometown punk trio 400 Blows. As with so many other underground bands from the Pacific Northwest, Kurt Cobain's adulation of the Melvins was both blessing and curse, leading to a major-label deal with Atlantic, but also unfairly typecasting the band as a prototypical grunge act. Atlantic ran scared long ago, but the band's pulverized version of prog has won them legions of devoted admirers. To ease into the onslaught, the Blows bring slick and melodic fan faves and ultra-heavy harmonies, hopefully previewing some tracks from their album-in-progress.
