Melvins @ Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 2003-05-10

 

Today we have a Melvins show from 2003 that I have never shared for some reason.  This was part of the Geek Show tour with Tomahawk and Skeleton Key.  I've posted both of those sets previously.
Melvins were touring behind the album Hostile Ambient Takeover still.  This was an epic night,

Enjoy.

16 Horsepower, Fox Theatre, Boulder CO, 1996-03-22


In light of the recent news that 16 Horsepower are reuniting in 2026 to play some shows. I decided to share is spectacular 1996 FM broadcast of them playing at the Fox Theater in Boulder Colorado back in March of 1996.  This show was right between their releases Sackcloth N' Ashes and Lowe Estate.

16 Horsepower is announcing a bunch of European tour dates soon and so far the only scheduled show in the US is going to be at Fire In The Mountains Festival.  It takes place in East Glacier Montana this July.  This fest has been so expertly curated the last few years it feels like it is becoming the American version of the esteemed Roadburn Festival in Tilburg.  Check it out here.  https://www.fitmfest.com/

I got this from someone 25ish years ago in the CDR trading days.  I had forgotten about it until sorting through that collection not long ago.  This is a real gem.  Enjoy.

The Cavemen @ Piper's Opera House, Virginia City NV, 2018-04-15


Going a few year back with this one.  The Cavemen from New Zealand and play some unhinged drunken wild rock n roll.  I got to see them twice at Debauch-A-Reno Fest back in 2018.  This show was at the opera house up in Virginia City Nevada.  It was a fun weird time.  Not long before they went on I came upon the band in on of the stairwells in the venue drinking beer shots out of the drummer beat up Converse hightops.  Gross!!  They rocked though.  Short but sweet set on this day.

The put out a bunch of 7 inches and a few albums that I dig over the last decade or so.  Been pretty quiet recently.  Not sure if they are still an active band.  I was reminded of this show by a post on IG recently from their American record label Slovenly asking if anyone knew what they were up too.  Enjoy.
