Ipecac will be putting out a live performance of Fantômas' Director's Cut on DVD on September 6th. It has Dale on drums and obviously Buzz on guitar, in addition to that the DVD includes a commentary track by the legendary Neil Hamburger.
Filmed at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall on Dec. 31, 2008, the DVD features the band performing songs from their classic 2001 collection of soundtrack covers The Director’s Cut, as well as two songs not featured on the album: Al Green’s ‘Simply Beautiful’ and Marc Bolan & T. Rex’s ‘Chariot Choogle’.
Dale played drums for the Warlock Pinchers during their recent reunion shows and is featured on the DVD they've released chronicling the event. Rumor has it there's a special feature w/ the Melvins covering Alice Cooper included.
Someone uploaded an old TV appearance by the Melvins on FX's SoundFX from the Stoner Witch era, they play Revolve & Goose Freight Train. 90's cable was sweet.
AMREP has the Melvins 'News of the World' parody shirt by Brian Walsby for sale in limited sizes.
Ultimate Classic Rock has an interview with Dale where he discusses Bonham, Kiss, and the Beatles etc.
There's a video interview with Joe Barresi(produced Stag & Honky) on the Internets where he touches on recording the Melvins, he starts talking about the experience at the 22:30 mark on the video. "We had porno going on twenty four hours a day in the studio just to get everyone in this weird space"
For all the golfers out there...
