from ipecac.com: It is time to celebrate! The self proclaimed "greatest band in the history of music", the mighty MELVINS celebrate their 20th anniversary this March. Yes, beleive it or not it was 20 years ago on March 9th 1984 in Olympia Washington, the very first Melvins show. To celebrate we are releasing a very special coffee table book called "NEITHER HERE,NOR THERE" on March 2nd. This is an amazing retrospective highlighting artwork from their releases, ruminations from the band and their friends and a CD compilation featuring tracks from all their releases only available in this book.
As if this was not enough, the Melvins will be doing a mini celebration tour on the west coast of the US. Dates are posted in the calendar section now. At these shows you will be able to buy a special, limited edition, overpriced, hardcover, version of the book. Join the party!!!!!
How many other rock bands have survived 20 years and are still relevant?
Just to answer a couple popular questions.
1) the paperback version of the upcoming Melvins book (including CD retrospective) will indeed be available at cool record stores worlwide.
2) the hardcover limited version will be available only at Melvins shows and at our webstore.

Tour dates on the west coast are popping up, a few of them are with mudhoney and one of them is the melvins 20th anniversary show apparently, check out the tour dates page for that info.
From southern.com: Holy Moly! The Melvins are turning 20 in 2004 and are still packing a bigger and harder punch than nearly every band half their age. We closed our 2003 `We Worship The Melvins' festival here at Southern by trooping along to see our heroes perform a live soundtrack to three cutting edge independent films directed by the US artist Cameron Jamie. Huge sonic waves crashed across the venues, enveloping the audience before receding and leaving everyone gagging for more. And whats more, when the final film finished the Melvins launched into their Atlantic-period classic "Night Goat" causing your Southern team to nearly explode with excitement.
Adding to our Melvins excitement is the news that to celebrate their 20 years as the Kings of Sludge, Ipecac are to release a 224 page BOOK on the Melvins, featuring brand new artwork from friends, family and fans... and... a newly compiled CD featuring a track from each of their 18 albums! More "Night Goat" for me then! This piece of art will be available in March - just in time to commemorate the date of their first ever show.
