Melvins and Flipper have teamed up for a new collaborative four-song 10″ EP out via Amphetamine Reptile. Created by core Melvins members Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover, Flipper members Steve DePace and Ted Falconi, and Melvins collaborator/Mr. Bungle member Trevor Dunn, the first taste of the EP is title track “Hot Fish.”
Melvins and Flipper are both long standing members of the underground grunge music scene, with both bands having perfected their sounds over the past few decades. With both of these groups working together, the Hot Fish EP is sure to be a great project. This collaboration is not the only thing Melvins have been up to in recent months, with the band recently making a few…
…announcements regarding their plans for the rest of 2019. Last month, Third Man Records revealed that they would be releasing reissues of a few of Melvins oldest albums. This is the first time these records will be available on vinyl in years. In addition the old records being rereleased, Melvins also announced they would be going on a fall tour with the band Redd Kross. The two acts will be touring the US starting this September in San Diego, with the tour concluding in November in Las Vegas.
Flipper has also been busy lately, as the band is currently in the middle of a 40th anniversary tour. The group began the tour earlier this year in April and plan on continuing through the end of July. So far Flipper has already performed in major cities such as Los Angeles and Las Vegas; the group’s next show is set for tomorrow night in Portland. Other notable cities that Flipper is planning on performing at later in the tour include Seattle, Chicago and San Francisco.
