Napalm Death and Melvins

Ticket Information

Tickets available locally at Recycled Records & Higher Elevation Smoke Shop (Incline Village).

Melvins Bio

The Melvins are one of modern music's most influential bands. Having formed in 1983 in Montesano, Washington, the group - founded by vocalist/guitarist Buzz Osborne, with drummer Dale Crover joining a year later - has been credited with merging the worlds of punk rock and heavy music, forming a new subgenre all their own. Over their 40-plus year career, they’ve released more than 30 original albums, numerous live records, and far too many to count singles and rarities.

Recent releases include 2024's Tarantula Heart, a really good collection of what the Melvins do, what they can do and what they want to do, and Five Legged Dog (2021), an ambitious 36-track acoustic collection that reimagines their heaviest songs alongside covers of their favorite artists. Throughout their discography, the Melvins have collaborated with Jello Biafra, Mudhoney, and Fantomas for individual releases and toured the world many times over. Remarkably, they had the misfortune to be in both Christchurch and Tokyo for their 2011 earthquakes.

In 2012, the Melvins completed the 51 States in 51 Days (50 states + DC) tour, which was chronicled in the film Across The USA in 51 Days. The current incarnation of the band is Osborne, Crover, and Steven McDonald (Redd Kross). Previous lineups included a pairing of Osborne and Crover with Jared Warren and Coady Willis of Big Business, a four-piece featuring the current trio plus Butthole Surfers' Jeff Pinkus, as well as Melvins Lite, which partners Osborne and Crover with Mr. Bungle's Trevor Dunn. Sometimes, if you’re extra lucky, one version of the Melvins will open for the Melvins.

Napalm Death Bio

Although the name Napalm Death has existed since 1981, as the band's first line-up plundered the post- and anarcho-punk scenes for inspiration, it was 1987's seminal Scum album that would ensure their place in the grand pantheon of heaviness. A visceral dismantling of conventions, it effectively kick-started the entire Grindcore scene, gaining Napalm Death something approaching household name status for their insane speeds, animalistic screams, and uncompromising political stance. From that moment, the band became synonymous with both proudly-held ethical principles and the relentless pursuit of new ways to terrorize people with riffs and noise.
