Fantomas/Melvins Big Band makes UK live debut

The freakiest of super-duper metal-mutha groups, The Fantômas Melvins Big Band, are to make their UK live debut on May 1st at London's Kentish Town Forum.

Tickets for the show are around the fifteen quid mark. The group - Mike Patton (pictured), Buzz Osborne, Dave Lombardo and Trevor Dunn accompanied by Dale Crover and Kevin Rutmanis - have only ever played a handful of shows together over five years, despite their own claim that they're the "two greatest destroyers of mediocrity in the history of rock". The May 1st show is not only their UK debut, but their European debut.

Expect it to be, like, weird. And stuff.

Fantomas The Melvins

tickets like a month ago!

Aye

It might just be Trevor Dunn for this one. Or David Scott Stone on Melvins bass. He is no Rutmanis, but he's fairly mint.

So it could be Fantomas

+ Crover. Doesn't sound as good now.

big business

if you look at the melvins myspace page, it says that Big Business have joined them..that means theres going to be 3 bassists on stage, 3 drummers, 3 guitarists and patton! OH MY GOD!

They aren't playing with the Big Band

They are touring by themselves. Is true.

Yes it'll

be simply awful.

I'm going to stay at home and play my Melvins and Fantomas cds simultaneously instead.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

I cant afford it so im just going to make sure it isnt built up.

I reckon

saying 'sarcasm is the lowest form of wit' is fairly low down in the wit league.

Honestly:

Patton going ackackack over the top of perfectly good Melvins songs - bad.

Big band doing Fantomas songs - probably a good idea.
