The Melvins
The Melvins return with the new album Pinkus Abortion
Technician (April 20, Ipecac Recordings), 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. “We’ll be taking this two-
prong bass attack on the road as well which should prove to be interesting. Pinkus Abortion
Technician is a radically great record and was a stone groove to record. We drank a lot of coffee and enjoyed each other’s company. I like Steven and Jeff a great deal. I admire their bass playing and singing and both of them can grill a mean steak.”
Pinkus Abortion Technician tracklist:
1. Stop Moving To Florida
2. Embrace The Rub
3. Don’t Forget To Breathe
4. Flamboyant Duck
5. Break Bread
6. I Want To Hold Your Hand
7. Prenup Butter
8. Graveyard
“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. Pre-orders will be announced soon.
The Melvins have also simultaneously announced a 10-week North American tour, kicking off
on April 26 at the Casbah in San Diego. The tour will feature the Melvins as a four-piece with
both Pinkus and McDonald joining Osborne and Crover.

ZoSo
Zoso – The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience formed in 1995 to perform the most accurate and captivating Led Zeppelin experience since the real thing. For Zoso, it’s much more than just being a tribute. It’s about touching a golden era in music. Zoso embodies Page, Plant, Bonham and Jones in their spirit, tightly-wound talent and authenticity.
Each band member has been carefully selected to portray both the appearance and playing styles of their Led Zeppelin counterparts. In eighteen successful years of touring, they have perfected their art. As one of the longest tenured Zeppelin tributes, Zoso’s 2400 live shows around the world have established them as the most traveled and successful band in the market.
Zoso’s live shows are not about simply playing the right notes, they are about aura and feeling, harkening back to the unique atmosphere Led Zeppelin created. It’s in the way they play: Each band member’s mastery of authentic vintage instruments coupled with spot-on vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards, their compelling stage persona and distinct Led Zeppelin sound, with astounding visual imagery recreates the music, magic, and mystery of a Zeppelin concert. The impact is so powerful that band members constantly hear from young rockers that they were the catalyst behind turning them into new, die-hard Zeppelin fans.
Their passion, musical ability, showmanship and precise attention to detail earned them critical acclaim, name recognition and a loyal national following. The Los Angeles Times hailed the group as being "head and shoulders above all other Zeppelin tributes," and the Chicago Sun-Times declared Zoso is "the closest to the original of any tribute."
If you missed Led Zeppelin live in the 70's or are looking to relive the "Hammer of the Gods" phenomenon, you must experience what the St. Petersburg Times calls "the most exacting of the Zeppelin tribute bands in existence."
