MELVINS - 12/02/1990 - O'Cayz Corral - Madison, WI - O'CAYZ ARCHIVE PROJECT Show # 004

The Melvin's December 1990 show at O’Cayz Corral was their first of two appearances at the club (the second came in 1995, soon to be digitized here as well). At the time, they were still relatively early in their career, with only their Gluey Porch Treatments (1987) and Ozma (1989) album releases. They had already moved mostly away from their hardcore roots with Ozma, which was at times, still fast and chaotic, but by late 1990 they were introducing the longer, heavier songs that would define Bullhead, released a few months later in 1991 and marking the start of their sludge/doom era. That fall and winter they toured with Helmet, who had just released their debut album Strap It On from Amphetamine Reptile Records. Lineup: Buzz Osborne -Vocals/guitar Dale Crover – Drums Tom Flynn - Bass Originally recorded by Tyler J. Special thanks to Jeff B. About: The goal of the O’Cayz Archive Project is to digitize and share significant performances from the storied history of O’Cayz Corral. Cassette tapes often deteriorate or are discarded over time, with many of these recordings existing only as a single copy. Digitizing and sharing them now is crucial to preserve these recordings before they are lost forever. Please reach out if you have a recording you would like to share. Note: Please feel free to take and list the songs featured on this video. Thanks.
