Along with the upcoming covers record Everybody Loves Sausages, The Melvins are kicking off a tour to celebrate thrity years in the biz this July. Says frizzy-haired frontman Buzz Osborne:
Has it really only been 30 years? Dang! Thanks to everyone who's been there for us! 'It's been an exciting trip and I probably should have listened and learned more. I apologize for anything I've ever done wrong and for anything I'm going to do wrong. Ha!
Hit the jump for dates, including some with the longrunning Mudhoney, who dropped Vanishing Point earlier this year.
