Set III
Comment
Set 1 = early show
Set 2 = late show
Lineup: Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover, David Scott Stone (replacement for Kevin Rutmanis)
The sets contained variations of 'Pigs of the Roman Empire', 'ZZZZ Best' and 'Lysol'.
NOTES on the performance (taken from themelvins.net): "The Melvins' music is in a class of its
own. It has been hugely influential on some of the seminal bands of the past fifteen years.
Cameron Jamie (1969 Los Angeles, lives and works in Paris) works in a variety of mediums, ranging
from performance to photography and film. The three films for which The Melvins composed the
soundtrack to be performed on 12 November, have been inspired by Jamie's fascination for
rituals: both age-old rites and new ones evolving on the outer edges of society.
For Kranky Klaus Jamie travelled to the remote mountain villages of central Austria, where he
recorded the 'Krampus ritual'. On the night of 6 December villagers await not only a benevolent
Saint Nicholas but also, anxiously, the Krampus: masked, mythical beasts who force their way into
people's homes, handing out violent punishment to those believed to have misbehaved in the
preceding year.
In Spook House Jamie portrays the inhabitants of the white working class suburbs of Detroit in
the weeks running up to Halloween. In late October, homes are transformed into ghost houses,
gardens into cemeteries (gravestones and all) and kitchens into mausoleums where torn off 'body
parts' are prepared for cannibalistic feasts.
Jamie's acclaimed film BB highlights LA's teenage wrestlers, who 'act out' the popular television
wrestling matches. However, unlike the television fights, these encounters are no hoax. Kids jump
from garage roofs and fly at each other with ladders and garden furniture. Combined with The
Melvins powerful, claustrophobic soundtrack, the black-and-white footage of these brutal fights
depicts an existence Jamie likens to 'purgatory'."
