Melvins - OZMA

 Melvins was formed in the early 1980s by Buss Osborne (guitar/vocals), Matt Lukin (bass) and Mike Dillard (drums) who all went to Wheeler High School in Montesano, WA. In the beginning they played The Who and Jimi Hendrix covers, and also began playing fast hardcore punk. When Dillard left the band, Dale Crover joined, and the band's rehearsals moved to a back room of Crover's parents house in Aberdeen, WA Soon afterward, they started to play songs slower and "heavier" than nearly anyone else at the time. Fellow Aberdeen resident Kurt Cobain (a good friend of Crover and Osborne since high school) was a huge Melvins fan and helped them transport their equipment to a few shows. Cobain also auditioned to join the band on bass, but he didn't make it, reportedly because he was so nervous that he forgot all the songs. Later he produced and played on some songs (guitar on "Sky Pup", percussion on "Spread Eagle Beagle") on the band's major label debut, Houdini. Cobain maintained his relationship with the band until his death in 1994. In 1985 C/Z Records was created to document the Washington music scene, the label released Deep Six, featuring four songs by Melvins. In 1986 the band released their debut, the Six Songs EP, on C/Z Records (later releases expanded and retitled this as 8 Songs, 10 Songs, and eventually 26 Songs in 2003 on Ipecac Recordings). The album was recorded live to a two track at Ironwood, February 8, 1986. In December 1986 they recorded their first full-length album, Gluey Porch Treatments, at Studio D in Sausalito, CA. The album was released in 1987 on Alchemy Records. Gluey Porch Treatments was later coupled with their second album Ozma for the Boner Records CD release. It was expanded again for the 1999 rerelease on Ipecac Recordings with some garage demos. Crover played drums with Nirvana when they recorded a ten song demo on January 23, 1988 in Seatle, which later formed part of their debut LP Bleach, and played a live show in Tacoma later that day. Osborne would later introduce Cobain and Krist Novoselic to Dave Grohl.  Later that year Osborne and Crover relocated to San Francisco, CA. Lukin stayed and formed the grunge band Mudhoney. Lori "Lorax" Black (daughter of Shirley Temple) replaced Lukin on bass. The band recorded OZMA in May 1989, and released it later that year. The album was produced by Mark Deutrom, who later joined the band on bass.
