The Melvins celebrate their 30th anniversary with an extensive North American tour, kicking off on July 12, 2013 in Phoenix, Arizona.
“Has it really only been 30 years?” asked singer/guitar player Buzz Osborne. “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!” Full dates are below.

The Melvins recently released an all-covers album entitled Everybody Loves Sausages.
