The trek will see both bands playing classic albums in their entirety
Later this summer, Melvins and Boris are mounting a co-headlining tour across the United States. The Twins of Evil trek kicks off on August 24 at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles and wraps up on October 14 at the House of Blues in San Diego. Mr. Phylzzz will serve as special guests at every show.
Melvins, continuing their 40th anniversary celebrations, will perform their classic album Bullhead in its entirety, while Japanese trio Boris will play their hit LP Heavy Rocks all the way through.
“Forty years as the Melvins,” frontman Buzz Osborne exclaimed. “What better way to celebrate that unlikely milestone than by setting off on the Twins of Evil Tour with our friends, Boris. This will be a stone groove!”
Boris’ Takeshi adds, “Could anyone have predicted such an astonishing event, that Boris and the Melvins would tour the entire USA together? Since the mid-1980s, the Melvins have had an enormous influence on artists of all genres not only limited to heavy music, and have brought forth a surge of faithful followers over the years. Needless to say, Boris is just one of these many bands influenced by the mighty Melvins, and we took our name from a song title off of the 1991 album, Bullhead.”
