Jello Biafra with the Melvins

I went to see them last night and they were great before
singing the revamped Kali-Fornia Uber Alles. Mr Biafra said
that after 9/11 Crechen (former Canadian PM) and Bush
('Christian' Warlord) came to an agreement that draft
dodgers would not be allowed into Canada. With the draft
fast aproacing in the US (Not suprisingly they are having a
hard time recruiting new troops). I was hoping that someone
here could find validity to his statement.

I for one welcome draft dodgers into Canada.
1) They have similar belifes to most Canadains
2) They have exepted the fact that they will never be able
to recieve benefit
3) Canada need more people

DOA opened and did a pretty unremarkable set. Unfortunatly I
think they have had their time but definatly left a mark.

The Melvins opened with a feedbacky experimental number and
really pushed the envelope doing great breaks and time
changes. The thing I love about the Melvins is that my
favorite elements of bands like Nirvana were really heavily
influenced by them. After four songs or so they all put on
ski masks and Jello Biafra joined them on stage. He is a one
trick pony, it's a bloody good trick doing a Jonny Rotten
style voice but with increadable control, but it really
showed how versitile The Melvins are in comparison. I think
that because Jello Biafra's style is so destinctive it is
hard to seperate him from the Dead Kennedys, they finnished
with Holliday in Cambodia which was great and they also did
a cover of Wesley Willis' Rock and Roll McDonalds which was
superb. All in all it was a great show but I wish I could
have seen The Melvins on their own a bit longer.

Ah! I think the melvins are in the Top 5 most important rock
bands of all time.

it's too bad i missed them this time around. :(

i don't like the first jello/melvins cd at all (haven't
heard the new thing), so i didn't bend over backwards to get
to the show. if i had known the melvins would be playing by
themselves, i would have gone...

stupid thing for me to do since i love both the melvins and
the (original) dead kennedys.

two winters ago on ski trips, me and my friends would scream
kali-fornia uber alles from the chair lifts.
