- Little more needs to be said about bass-and-drums trio Big Business beyond the fact that they're the official rhythm section for ancient stoner champions the Melvins. (Attaining this position is like being awarded the Nobel Prize in Metal.) The choice makes perfect sense, since Big Business are loyal devotees of the Melvins' school of rock, slinging sludge-covered bass riffs, propulsive drums courtesy of ex-Murder City Devil Coady Willis, and vocals that manage to be both guttural and melodic. They haven't let their newfound responsibilities slow them down, though; with their recently added third member (a guitarist), Big Business just wrapped up their next album. Bay Area proto-punks Triclops open. – Patrick Reilly
