Melvins 'Pinkus Abortion Technician'
The Melvins return with the new album 'Pinkus Abortion Technician', featuring both ongoing Melvins’ bass player Steven McDonald (Redd Kross, OFF!) and Butthole Surfers’, and occasional Melvins’, bottom ender Jeff Pinkus on bass. “With our upcoming release, we double your bass player with Steven McDonald and Jeff Pinkus holding down the bottom,” explains Dale Crover. "It’s an experiment in the low end of the aural spectrum where we asked ourselves, ‘would it work?’ ‘could it work??’ ‘should it work???’ The answers were yes, yes and YES!”.
“We’ve never had two bass players. We’ve had two drummers and two guitar players so it makes total sense to now have two bass players", adds Buzz Osborne. "Stop Moving To Florida" is a medley of the James Gang’s "Stop" and Butthole Surfers’ "Moving To Florida", the band also covers the Beatles’ "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and Butthole Surfers’ "Graveyard" on the eight-song release.
