The Melvins with Unsane, Exit/In, Nashville, TN - 05/04/2012

I thought I had taken at least one terrible iPhone photo at this show but alas did not. I met up with friends at the Gold Rush as Unsane was finishing what sounded like an incredibly loud, punishing set, and we made our way into a very-though-not-unpleasantly packed Exit/In.

Without much ado or too much wait, the mighty Melvins took the stage and ran through an absolute non-stop barrage of tunes. It was heavy, and loud, and did not stop for breath. They had King Buzzo on the far left, two drummers (including Dale Crover) in the center and the other vocalist/bass player on the right. I can't say that they are my favorite band ever or that I could even really tell you one song title from another, but I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Some more effusive and exhaustive reviews are out there, so I will leave it up to you whether to delve too deeply or not, but it was a fun time.
