The Melvins crush Detroit so hard that the Detroit Police shut the show down

You have to know that headline is fucking misleading... So yes the Melvins played El Club in South West Detroit last Thursday. It was sold out, jam packed, sweaty, and filled with the huskier, bearded, beer-gutted Detroit elder punks and grunge fans. I felt like a thin baby at this show, like a god-damned stoner-metalhead in training and I saw this band for the first time almost 19 years ago to the day. The Melvins, of course, are celebrating the release of a new double album that came out on July 7th. A Walk With Love & Death out on Ipecac Records the 3-month tour all over the US and Canada ending in early October. Did I mention how sweaty it was in El Club? Even for the opening set, I was dripping from every nook and cranny. I had room to move closer to the stage but most people were completely irritated by trying to get through the crowd. Thus the angles for both bands are from 1 angle a piece. Just how it was that night.

I would love to have shot this great gallery of images but it just wasn't happening and for one of two very simple reasons...Now either they sold the right amount of tickets but failed to take into account for the girth of most of the fans of the Melvins, or they pulled the always classicly dick move, intentionally oversold the show to cram in as many beer guzzling pizza buying people. Thus why I said I felt small when I walked into the venue.  With all that being said, I had a blast and usually at the shows I go to by myself I feel awkward. Instead, I just tried to do my job and even though I feel I failed, I still got a couple halfway decent images. I also saw an older guy get decked in the face for trying to get through the crowd during the Melvins set. If that doesn't say how ridiculous people were being at this show, then I don't know what will. In the end, the fans who paid deserved better, the Melvins deserved better, and well I still can't complain even though DPD came into El Club like they were raiding a rave 15 years ago. Here's to hopefully seeing the band again in Detroit and being able to actually photograph them.
