| Comment | Set 1 = early show
Set 2 = late show Lineup: Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover, David Scott Stone (replacement for Kevin Rutmanis) The sets contained variations of 'Pigs of the Roman Empire', 'ZZZZ Best' and 'Lysol'. NOTES on the performance (taken from themelvins.net): "The Melvins' music is in a class of its own. It has been hugely influential on some of the seminal bands of the past fifteen years. Cameron Jamie (1969 Los Angeles, lives and works in Paris) works in a variety of mediums, ranging from performance to photography and film. The three films for which The Melvins composed the soundtrack to be performed on 12 November, have been inspired by Jamie's fascination for rituals: both age-old rites and new ones evolving on the outer edges of society. For Kranky Klaus Jamie travelled to the remote mountain villages of central Austria, where he recorded the 'Krampus ritual'. On the night of 6 December villagers await not only a benevolent Saint Nicholas but also, anxiously, the Krampus: masked, mythical beasts who force their way into people's homes, handing out violent punishment to those believed to have misbehaved in the preceding year. In Spook House Jamie portrays the inhabitants of the white working class suburbs of Detroit in the weeks running up to Halloween. In late October, homes are transformed into ghost houses, gardens into cemeteries (gravestones and all) and kitchens into mausoleums where torn off 'body parts' are prepared for cannibalistic feasts. Jamie's acclaimed film BB highlights LA's teenage wrestlers, who 'act out' the popular television wrestling matches. However, unlike the television fights, these encounters are no hoax. Kids jump from garage roofs and fly at each other with ladders and garden furniture. Combined with The Melvins powerful, claustrophobic soundtrack, the black-and-white footage of these brutal fights depicts an existence Jamie likens to 'purgatory'." |
