Boris and MELVINS<\/strong><\/p>\n Twins of Evil Tour 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n September 20, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n 8:00PM<\/strong><\/p>\n Musikfest Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n ArtsQuest Center<\/strong><\/p>\n 101 Founders Way<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bethlehem, Pennsylvania\u2026 How is everyone doing? Tonight, was an awesome night for a concert. Did you feel the Musikfest Caf\u00e9 vibrating? THE BUILDING WAS VIBRATING. That\u2019s when you know it was a good show. You could feel the bass, the drums, the vocals. It goes through you.<\/p>\n Guitarist Buzz Osborne, Steven McDonald on bass, and drummer Dale Crover (Coady Willis filled in) was who absent tonight due to surgery. We all say Get Well Soon. It was also the 40th<\/sup> Anniversary of (the) Melvins. The iconic Boris also paired up with the band to showcase the incredible discography they have. Tonight, was a great night at Musikfest Caf\u00e9, the staff, security guards, and the volunteers all work hard to keep everyone safe. Michelle from ArtsQuest introduced the show.<\/p>\n The opening act for (the) Melvins was Mr. Phylzzz. Mr. Phylzzz was formed in 2015 and yes, it is pronounced Flyzzz, just in case anyone was wandering. They have a heavy sound, and they came out to the Britney Spears song, \u201cBaby One More Time.\u201d It was the most metal thing to do, truly. Mr. Phylzzz is Clinton Jacobs on guitar\/vox, and Danny Sein on drums. Could we take a moment to talk about Danny Sein playing drums. This gentleman was INSANE. I could have listened to him play drums all night long\u2026 Clinton Jacobs sounds amazing. He goes through a wide-variety of vocals. He kept the audience on their toes, every couple of minutes, I heard, \u201cWhat IS HAPPENING right now\u201d from someone in my section.<\/p>\n Music, my friends, music was happening. A few songs from Mr. Phylzzz included: \u201cPretend Friends\u201d, \u201cDirty Hands\u201d, \u201cDamp\u201d, and more. They did a good job. They riled the crowd up for Boris and Melvins. Melvins dedicated the tour to drummer Dale Crover who had spinal surgery. Coady Willis filled in for Dale Crover, and he was going hard all night. Coady Willis has been part of a few bands including: High on Fire, Big Business, and he appeared on the Melvins\u2019 album \u201c(A) Senile Animal\u201d.<\/p>\n Steven McDonald is the kick ass bass player for (the) Melvins. (the) Melvins are one of the greatest bands ever. They have played such a wide variety of music, and the talent just oozes from the band. They have released over thirty albums since the 1980\u2019s.<\/p>\n (the) Melvins came out onstage to \u201cTake On Me\u201d by A-Ha! Did we do a group sing-along, you bet we did. The crowd was hyped, BEYOND hyped. Concerts bring people together, they give us all a chance to forget everyday life, and what comes along with everyday life.<\/p>\n A few of the songs they played tonight included: \u201cYour Blessened\u201d, \u201cIt\u2019s Shoved\u201d, \u201cZodiac\u201d, \u201cHoney Bucket\u201d, \u201cRevolve\u201d, and more. Buzz also stayed to do \u201cBoris\u201d. King Buzzo being completely unfazed while a lively crowd chants MELVINS at the very top of their lungs. (the) Melvins rocked, they did what they came to do. They made an entire crowd of screaming people happy. The people upstairs were also happy. They do have an upstairs to get tickets and sit if you didn\u2019t want to be in the whirlpool most-pit or be part of the standing room crowd.<\/p>\n Keep that in mind though. Musikfest Caf\u00e9 is such a cool place to listen to music.<\/p>\n It was fascinating because I met so many Mr. Bungle fans tonight. Apparently, everyone was at the Philly, and New Jersey Mr. Bungle shows. King Buzzo worked with Mike Patton on Fantomas which was a one-of-a-kind band made up of Patton, Dave Lombardo, and Trevor Dunn. (the) Melvins will forever be one of the best bands to ever exist in this galaxy and beyond.<\/p>\n Make sure to go see them if you get a chance.<\/p>\n Stay up to date with (the) Melvins<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.themelvins.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n Stay up to date with Mr. Phylzzz!<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.mrphylzzz.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.steelstacks.org\/about\/venues-at-steelstacks\/musikfest-cafe\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Review By: Janel Spiegel Boris and MELVINS Twins of Evil Tour 2023 September 20, 2023 8:00PM Musikfest Caf\u00e9 ArtsQuest Center 101 Founders Way Bethlehem, Pennsylvania\u2026 How is everyone doing? … Continue reading Boris and MELVINS Twins of Evil Tour 2023 | Review By: Janel Spiegel<\/span>
