Hire The Melvins for a Corporate Event or Performance Booking.
In 1983, the American band The Melvins was founded. Normally a trio, they have recently expanded to a four-piece set with two drummers. Buzz Osborne (commonly known as King Buzzo), the band's singer and guitarist, and Dale Crover, its drummer, have been its constant members since 1984. The supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk, inspired the band's moniker. Other coworkers hated Melvin, and the band members thought his moniker was appropriately ludicrous.Black Flag's fusion of punk and metal on their albums My War and Slip It In, as well as other slow punk bands like Flipper and the Wipers, as well as hard rock and metal bands like Kiss and Alice Cooper, are influences on The Melvins' music. However, due to their eccentric approach, peculiar sense of humor, and experimentation, they are difficult to neatly categorize. Buzzo has also said that Black Flag, more than Black Sabbath, with whom they are frequently associated, has had a greater influence on his guitar style.
They occasionally prefer slower tempos, and their drab sound had a significant impact on Seattle-based bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Green River, and many others who played in the grunge genre. These bands, however, tended to pair this sound with more traditional musical frameworks. Many bands outside of the Seattle grunge scene have been affected by the Melvins, such as Tool (who are close friends with the band), Boris (whose name was inspired by a Melvins song), Mastodon, Neurosis, Eyehategod, and Isis..

The final The Melvins booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will The Melvins charge for an event. An example fee to book The Melvins is in the starting range of $75,000-$149,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
There is low probability to book The Melvins for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Melvins agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Melvins, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the The Melvins booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for The Melvins, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
