German ambient-doom unit Bohren & Der Club of Gore is heading out on a European tour this spring. So far, the dates were announced for shows in Germany, Czech Republic and Turkey with more to come. Check out the band’s official FB page for more info.
Melvins got a new record out! Albeit, it’s all going to be about covers this time around. Everybody Loves Sausages (which will arrive on April 30 via Ipecac) will be chock full of guest appearances – featuring the likes of Jello Biafra, Kevin Rutmanis, Tom Hazelmeyer, Clem Burke (Blondie) and more. In a typical Melvins fashion, tracklist for this one looks like a mish-mash of classic rock (Queen, Bowie, Roxy Music), metal/punk (Venom, The Scientists) and the off-beat and leftfield stuff (Throbbing Gristle, The Fugs, Divine). Check more info on Loudwire.
Finally, there’s a new album by everyone’s favorite supergroup – Tomahawk! Oddfellows is their first record since 2007 “Anonymous” and to many it felt like a less experimental version of their previous material.

Oh – and while you’re at it, check out the video for Stone Letter and/or stream an entire album!
For a moment I thought this was going to be advertising a gig with Bohren & Der Club of Gore, Melvins, Tomahawk all playing together.. ha… what a line-up that would be… 🙂
