New Shows: Ghostland Observatory, Tech N9ne, Melvins

Ghostland Observatory

LASERS! SMOKE! LASERS! That's about all you need to know. Their music is not anything to write home about, and many find Aaron Behrens' voice a bit too high pitched for their taste, but their mix of electronics and rock make for a jumping good time live.

Melvins

King Buzzo's hair, what can you say about it? It's like a cross between Kimya Dawson, Sideshow Bob, and Scary Spice, with a bit of Jay Leno mixed in. The Melvins influenced many of your favorite 90s alternative rock bands, and are still putting out decent (weird) music while touring relentlessly. I know they use to put on a fun show, but I've not seen them live in over ten years. That should probably change.
