Time for some good news! Run out to your local cool record store and grab the self titled CD from the newest members of our family, VINCENT & MR GREEN. Bathe in the majestic beauty of this otherworldly soundtrack. Wow, what the hell did that mean? Look, this is a very cool record that takes you in many directions covering many different genres. File this under artists who are challenging and unpredictable like Mr Tom Waits or Ms PJ Harvey. Hauntingly beautiful.
Not sure how they are going to pull it off live but we will find out friday at the record release party at VIDA in Los Feliz California, outside of LA. See you there.
Go to www.vincentandmrgreen.com for all the details.

Oh and the hits keep coming. new Isis, PANOPTICON (late Oct) coming soon as well as the much anticipated Kaada/Patton ROMANCES record (Nov)

* We are very sorry to say, but due to an illness in the band the Melvins have cancelled all of their scheduled dates for the rest of the year. We are hoping that the shows will be able to be rescheduled in the future and the band sincerely apologizes for any incvonvenience caused by this unforseen circumstance. Knowing the Melvins like we do, we have no doubt that they will return stronger than ever. Thanks for your support and understanding.
