Melvins Recruit Nirvana's Krist Novoselic for Bass on Their New Album "Basses Loaded"
by Dillon Price on March 7, 2016
Washington’s sludge-metal pioneers are ready to release two new albums this year. On April 1, Three Men and a Baby will be released on Sub Pop under the moniker Mike and The Melvins. On June 3, their latest album Basses Loaded will be released via Ipecac Recordinds. Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic is among the six bassists to be featured on this album. Butthole Surfers’ JD Pinkus, Big Business’ Jared Warren, Mr. Bungle/Fantômas’ Trevor Dunn, and Red Kross’ Steve McDonald will also be featured on bass.
In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Melvins frontman Buzz Osborne discussed Basses Loaded as well as Novoselic and Dave Grohl’s involvement:
“Well, we knew we didn’t have enough. We had recorded a little bit with Krist Novoselic. And that was a really, really funny story. It was before where [the surviving members of Nirvana] played with Paul McCartney. Dave Grohl had said that he wanted to do all that stuff with us. He wanted to do Nirvana songs with the Melvins, and maybe have David Yow singing. So Krist Novoselic came down and we started rehearsing, and Dave was supposed to show up — and he just never showed up. Blew it off, totally. And it was his idea! I didn’t appreciate that, you know? I’m a lot of things, but one thing I’m not doing is sitting next to the phone in curlers, waiting for Dave Grohl to call me, you know? When he totally blows you off like that, it’s fucked. But whatever. There’s nothing I can do about that. So we did some recording with Krist while he was here.”
In regards to Dave Grohl, Osborne mentioned:
“I don’t do that to people, you know? Generally when I come up with an idea for something and it’s my idea, and people fly down there on their own dime, which is what Krist did, and then you leave him hanging. That’s not something I’m known for. But Dave, he’s busy playing songs at the Oscars and shit.”
The Melvins will also hit the road with Napalm Death and Melt Banana on the Savage Imperial Death March Tour. Additionally, they will end their U.S. tour with Dead Cross at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on May 12 before heading to Europe to play Temples Festival and Hellfest.
