Melvins will be touring the U.S. with Unsane this Spring. Amrep is also putting together a tour 7" with the two bands covering each other. No word yet on how many will be pressed, check the Amrep bored for more details. Tour dates are below...
Amrep will also be doing a series of 12" records. The 13 record Sugar Daddy Splits series is the Melvins tracks from their Ipecac "Sugar Daddy" CD combined with bands they love from past, present, and future. Okay, maybe not future. Starting it off, COWS and the U-MEN!!! Pressing sizes will be a lot larger than recent projects, and way more affordable. But still slick as %$#@ Let the stupid questions that would've already been answered had some one bothered to read this far - BEGIN!

Decibel Magazine did a Q&A with Buzz and Dale. "I’m often surprised by why people expect us to do something normal they shouldn’t. There are lots of bands who are willing to do all kinds of normal things; people should not look to us to do that." - Buzz
