The Melvins will release Chicken Switch, the long rumored(since 2003) remix cd with a twist, on Sept. 29 via Ipecac Recordings. Unlike usual remix cds where the remixer is given a single track to work with, for Chicken Switch each remixer was given a full album to work with and pull from to create their track (and in some cases, more than one full album was used as source material). The song names were also newly selected by their remixer.

  1. Eye Yamatsuka — Washmachine Sk8tronics
  2. Christoph Heemann — Emperor Twaddle Remix
  3. V/VM — She Chokes Her Dying Breath and Does It In My Face

Melvins Army Chicago takes over The Flat Iron Bar in Wicker Park
 
Artists bow down to 25 years of METAL!

 

 

CHICAGO May 18th 2009 - Over thirty artists with strong ties to Chicago, unite to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the self proclaimed  Best Band in the World -The Melvins.  The art show is entitled - Melvins Army Chicago.  It will take place at The Flat Iron Bar Monday May 18th at 1565 N. Milwaukee.  Melvins Army Chicago is a one night only event from 8:00 PM- 2:00 AM. This is the same night as the Melvins will be playing the Double Door right down the block.

The collection includes works by Greg Shirilla, Martin Cimek, Jeremy Scheuch, Aristeo Jaure and many others.  The artwork shown will include paintings inspired by Melvins songs and album covers, portraits of Melvins band members and a shrine of rarely seen Melvins fan memorabilia.

Curating Melvins Army Chicago is Cheri Gutierrez with her husband Omar, co-owners of Revolution Tattoo & Gallery, Chicago’s very first art gallery and tattoo shop located at 2221 N.
Western Ave in West Bucktown.  The have been supporting local artists and metal music at their shop since 2004 by hosting art shows and tattooing the Chicago community.

The Melvins Army Chicago art show will be an amazing event.  We brought together so many die hard fans that jumped at the opportunity to create art for such an inspiring band.  said Cheri Gutierrez.

The art work in the exhibition is donated by the artists and the proceeds will go to the Paul Green School of Rock.  The school’s mission is to put musical instruments into the hands of budding rock stars across the Chicago region.  The goal is to inspire young adults to perform on stage in front of a live audience with all the confidence of a seasoned musician.

As a witness to how music can change one’s life, I feel the Melvin’s are truly pioneers of unique rock and roll that has the power to alter one’s perception of what music has to offer.  We here at the School of Rock seek these long-term and incredibly talented bands to teach our students a variety of how to master their instruments and performance.  The Melvins have refused to stop opening my mind and the minds of many young people to a new era of heavy tunes.

The students here at Paul Green School of Rock can’t thank you enough for this much needed contribution that will in-turn help young people who can’t afford the best music program in the country.  Thanks to our friends at Revolution Tattoo & Gallery, all the amazing contributing artists and of course The Melvins!  said Amy Mareing General Manager of The School of Rock.

Once again, Mr. Brian Walsby has compiled a collection of edgy, biting comic art and bad assed, rare tunes from the Melvins. MANCHILD 4 is 100 pages of illustrations and stories from a comic artist who's been poking fun at subversive youth culture, pop culture, your favorite band, and himself since the early ë80s. You'll laugh. You'll cringe. You just might get angry and start a message board war. Contents of Brian's new book include "No! I Don't Want To Play Your Effing House Party", "Frisky's Beaver Hut", "We Were All Assholes", "My First Orgasm", "Emo Rock Revival", and tons of others. There's also an in depth Melvins 2008 tour diary that's sure to break a few eggs. BATABING! There are 3000 of these on earth. How many do you have?
