The Melvins are a prolific rock/metal band formed in 1983 in Montesano, WA. They have had a rotating cast of more than 10 bass players and have released over 20 studio albums throughout their 40-year career. Their current bassist is Trevor Dunn. The band performs under the name "Melvins Lite" with Trevor Dunn on stand-up bass and under the name "Melvins 1983" with Dale on bass instead of drums.

The core members of the Melvins are Buzz Osborne (guitar/lead vocals) and Dale Crover (drums/vocals). The band was originally based in Montesano, WA before relocating to San Francisco, CA in 1988 and eventually settling in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.

The name "Melvins" came from a grocery clerk at the Thriftway in Montesano where Buzz Osborne worked. They chose this name as it was an appropriately ridiculous name that referred to the most hated fellow employee at the store.

Blistering live recording of the best selling Melvins album ever. Originally released in 1983, Houdini is considered by many to be the blueprint of the whole grunge movement. The whole concept originated from an invitation by the All Tomorrows Parties people to perform the entire Houdini album live as part of their don't look back series. The band rented a warehouse in Vernon, just south of LA, set up the gear and rehearsed all afternoon for the invitation only performance that evening. Then after running through the show twice, they took the tapes to the studio, picked out the best songs of the two sets, mixed them and mastered them onto this cd.&nbsp;First time ever on vinyl.
